San Lorenzo and Puerto General San Martín. Territories crossed by global dynamics

Abstract

In this article we analyze the appearance of global processes in local territories, linked to the Paraná-Paraguay Waterway, in Puerto General San Martín and San Lorenzo. These territories have received investments to attend the global economy, with the development of port terminals to export commodities. We also analyze territorial transformations as a result of the global-local articulation, through indicators related to productive activities, housing conditions, demographic and socio-economic conditions, occupation, land use, equipment and services, as well as the environmental risks that local population have to deal with, compromising their quality of life without enjoying greater benefits.
