The paper sets out to analyze two urban development proposals from a comparative point of view. Based on a literature review of the Nueva Costa del Plata project and the data collected for my doctoral research on Puerto Madero, it traces both lines of continuity and emergent tendencies in the urban expansion of the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area. From that basis, it proposes a conceptual revision of urban renewal through 'waterfront revitalization', and goes on to put in context the relationship of the city of Buenos Aires and its metropolitan area with the Río de la Plata. Finally, it deploys each of the contrasting proposals, in order to arrive at a comparative analysis that allows reflection on urban renovations of the waterfront of the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area.
