Abstract

A short walk in Buenos Aires reveals a stark contrast: from the self-built homes of Barrio Mujica to the polished towers of Barrio Norte. Life in Villa 31 is sustained by resilience, care, and informal networks, especially the unpaid labour of women. Though recent upgrades have improved infrastructure, deep inequalities persist—overcrowding, precarious work, and limited services. Formalization alone cannot bridge historical and social divides. True integration means valuing local knowledge, investing in care, and ensuring equal rights. Barrio Mujica stands as a space of dignity—and a reminder that the promise of a more just city remains unfinished.
