The article analyses the identity construction of young people in Nordelta, from
the study of their social trajectories, their lives in a gated community and the
incidence of mobility in their daily socio-cultural practices. This new study
converses to the youth-related research field, focusing on upper-middle class
young people, particularly residents of Nordelta gated community, considered
as a paradigm in the north zone of Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area, Argentina.
Perceptions towards zigzagging trajectories, presence of stigmatizations,
mobility analyses and time usage strategies in relation to long distances are
shown.
