| Summary: | This thesis addresses the process of uneven spatial development (USD), resulting from territorial expansion of capitalist economic activities (Smith, 2020). As long as new territories are incorporated into the accumulation process, simultaneous dynamics of equalization (of productive forms) and differentiation (of spatial forms) are generated in them. As a result, specific patterns of spatial inequality emerge, acquiring particular characteristics in the different scales and geographies (Smith, 2012; Brenner, 2009). Considering a Latin American approach, urban inequalities remain particular interest, given the fact cities concentrate most of the resources and the population. The State is crucial in defining the precise patterns that USD acquires through its economic and urban-territorial policies. This research frames the study problem in the context of national territory of Tierra del Fuego (TDF), Antarctica, and the South Atlantic Islands, constituted as a province of Argentine Republic in 1991.
