      abstract = {This book examines the dynamics of neoliberal urban  governance through a comparative analysis of Buenos Aires  and Chicago, with a special focus on gentrification  processes in both cities from 2011 to 2021. This work  argues that neoliberal principles, rationales and  institutions, along with the elaborate rhetoric that has  contributed to their success, are forever present in the US  and Latin American region, particularly in global cities  like Buenos Aires and Chicago. The year of 2011 marks the  (almost) simultaneous election of new executive authorities  in each city, and finalizes in 2021a sufficient time span  to observe key patterns, narratives and developments of  each neoliberal urban governance. First, this book  chronicles the evolving urban neoliberal policies  implemented since 2011 in both cities, with special  attention to the systematic reduction of affordable housing  and privatization of public land that have paved the way  for gentrification to advance at a fast pace. Second, it  also exposes readers to the prominent rhetoric crafted by  local boards, developers, architects, and real estate  agents in both cities. Third, this study chronicles how  these contemporary neoliberal urban governances currently  operate, a critical aspect that remains vastly unexplored.  Lastly, until now these governances have been scantly  explored from a comparative perspective in Latin American  and North American urban settings, and so this book offers  a rich new approach.
