    Different fabrics “shrink” in different manners
    (International Society of City and Regional Planners (ISOCARP), 2001) Floriani, Héctor; Martínez de San Vicente, Isabel
    This case study presents some findings related to the phenomenon of the “loss of concentration” as it appears in metropolitan Rosario (Santa Fe Province, Argentina).

    Globalisation and local development. Opportunities for action in mid-size metropolitan areas in developing milieus
    (International Society of City and Regional Planners (ISOCARP), 2003-10) Floriani, Héctor; Martínez de San Vicente, Isabel
    What may make this work interesting for participants is the fact that it attempts to identify some perspectives of action in favour of a local-development strategy in developing countries. It is intended to contribute to the definition and consolidation of local developing initiatives through the “use” of physical planning, taken as an instrument to serve this kind of development. Particularly, the work focuses on the analysis of two aspects of metropolitan Rosario: a) The transformations in the region’s coastal settlements caused by the local productive system’s behaviour, and b) The challenges posed by changes in the micro region’s natural environment. Afterwards, the analysis is put in relation to jurisdictional issues; that is, the attention goes to the identification of the risks and opportunities faced by the spatial management of this complex phenomenon as a consequence of being “restrained” in a plurality of local administrations. The two dimensions of this metropolitan phenomenon, formerly mentioned and selected to be the “axis” of this work, are not capable of revealing thoroughly the phenomenon itself. However, it is understood that those dimensions can be considered “core matters”, being therefore justified to analyse them specifically. The reasons of that selection and of its value in the context of the project’s objectives are presented next, along with the reasons to consider the “jurisdictional complexity” as a central variable of the problem. i. The analysis of the transformation on coastal settlements in the region caused by the local productive system’s behaviour shows the spatial unfolding of the economic activities that sets metropolitan Rosario in the map of the urban centres with some relevance at a global level: the production and commerce of agriculture-based manufactures. ii. The analysis of the challenges caused by changes in the region’s natural environment becomes essential for the definition of possibilities and limitations of local development. iii. The consideration of the spatial and institutional complexity of an urban phenomenon with metropolitan characteristics as this one, allows us to undertake more efficiently the challenges that emerge when planning action is initiated following objectives of local development.

    Rosario's recent story as regards innovation
    (International Society of City and Regional Planners (ISOCARP), 2005-10) Floriani, Héctor; Martínez de San Vicente, Isabel; Tamburrini, María Cristina
    This paper wants to contribute to the discussion on the Congress theme (“making spaces for the creative economy”) by presenting a particular Case Study: the story of Rosario (Santa Fe Province, Argentina) as regards this problem. The Case will be presented both as an experience already lived by that local community (in political, technical, and cultural terms) and in terms of challenges to be faced. Answers to the following questions are sought through this Case presentation, also: · Which is the value and the meaning of expressions such as “creative economy”, “creative city”, and “innovation” in a developing society? · Which is the concept of “development” from which the problem is faced and the Case is analysed? The general hypothesis that will guide the paper is this: in the developing world major cities, and particularly metropolitan areas, appear to have a special capacity to become innovative milieus. In that type of environments there seems to flourish a synergy that stimulates the existence of innovation, usually greater than that found in settlements specifically created with that purpose. From this standpoint, the Rosario Case fits absolutely. This city, undoubtedly a metropolis, has carried out since the late 1980’s a process of innovation –as regards the public policies- which has allowed it to become a point of reference both at the national and the regional (supra-national) levels. Ultimately, that has generated a particularly attractive environment for the location of a diversity of projects fuelled by private initiative. The paper will try to bring into relief, in the first place, Rosario’s achievements in its attempts (not always conscious or “programmatic”) to produce innovation. In order to do that, the city’s history will be reviewed, identifying the specific modes that the local innovation process –regarding public policies- has adopted, and underlining the role played in that process by those components more directly related to physical planning. After that, and relying on the definition of that “asset” of experiences and on the answers sketched to the questions posed before, an attempt will be made to draw lessons in relation to the challenges faced by Rosario.
