Abstract

Our research, at master's level, focuses on the study of new forms of consumption, taking as a reference the articulations between the lower and upper circuits of the urban economy (Santos, 2004). The study focuses on the commercial area, which is spatially organized in the form of Camelódromo and is located in the main center of the cities under analysis. The objective of this project is to identify new elements that are capable of contributing to the analysis of the updating of the variables of the current contemporary dynamics for the understanding of Urban Economy Circuit Theory. The way to get the moving comprehension of the Argentine reality and the different cities in Latin America, regarding this theory.
