Abstract

This work is a summary of that long process by which the CEPA Foundation sucessfully carried through their Southern Coastal Park Project. The present day characteristics, types of landscape and historical-cum- cultural features of the park's placement are here described as its relevance not only as a vast recreation zone for near-by Buenos Aires but as one of the ecological and cultural reserves of a continental standing as well. Among the other benefits of the future park, its being conceptualized as an "open reserve" as against a "closed" ditto is worth underlining as this allows for the running in tandem of such demands inherant upon the preservation of natural ecological systems with those social-cum- economic requirements imposed upon it by the need to maintain the viability of the agricultural and fishing assets of the area. The article ends by acknowledging the support the project received at all levels, support that was crowned by the park's being scheduled by the UNESCO as a World Cultural and Natural Biosphere Reserve.
