Abstract: In the last two decades, the towns of Funes and Roldán were the ones with the greatest demographic and construction growth in the Rosario Metropolitan Area, consolidating the northwest residential-garden axis. The process consumed much of the rural land for the urban and suburban land market. The weekend housing lots were transformed into permanent housing, incorporating new typologies, usually with incomplete infrastructure and services, but with larger dimensions, level of security and landscape value. The evolution of the real estate market shows the marked difference in prices for land with a more exclusive profile in Funes than in Roldán. This is possible given that the cities lack a territorial strategy at the metropolitan level since they did not participate in the “26 Local Strategies Program, a Metropolitan Plan”, having weak local regulations that favor developers. The article analyzes the diffuse urbanization process (population and urban plan) and the state of regulation, as well as the evolution of land prices. The aim is to consider elements for a more balanced, inclusive, and sustainable future planning approach that addresses the dynamic urban challenges.
Key words: Rosario Metropolitan Area, urban expansion, territorial regulation, lands prices
