Las fronteras de la "metropolización" Desigualdades de acceso al agua e indicadores de pobreza en La Paz
Abstract
Las dificultades que enfrentan los barrios periféricos de la ciudad de La Paz para acceder al agua dejan numerosas enseñanzas sobre el proceso de metropolización. En este artículo, se comparten los resultados de una encuesta que, entre otros datos, muestra que no se puede razonar sobre una escala única de "pobreza". Las lógicas constitutivas del espacio urbano resultan determinantes para comprender la redistribución territorial de los diferentes grupos sociales.
The difficulties faced by marginal districts of the city of La Paz in gaining access to a water supply offer a wealth of information about the metropolization process. This article presents the results of a survey which shows that analysis cannot be based on a single scale of poverty. The ideas involved in constituting the urban space turn out to be decisive for understanding the territorial redistribution of different social groups.
