This visual geography study and series of interviews focuses on the boundaries and accesses of the two dominant types of clusters in the municipality of Tigre – MABA (Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires): barrio cerrado (gated community) and barrio sociales or villa miseria (slum). Both realities, with different characteristics, are impenetrable neighborhoods which contribute to a massive ghettoisation of the city.
