landmarks for the new development. Following the erection of the public buildings, blocks/Manzanas are engendered around these important landmarks with the introduction of secondary grid of streets. Thus, an informal and organic urban pattern of blocks are induced to the new development. Following the block generation, the relocation and construction of housing is executed block by block in a systematic and sequen-
tial manner. The housing typologies that will densify these blocks are illustrated later in this chapter. The phase - 1 will generate 2230 housing units in 38 acres of YPF land. Similarly, following the demolition of the touch down part of Illia Highway, phase -2 will generate 1100 houses. An astounding total of 600 additional housing units, excluding the requirement of 2730 houses is generated through both the phases.
