Abstract
The article analyses the role of Buenos Aires as a ‘gateway city’ for the oil and gas sector, in particular its impact on development in the Argentinean hinterland. Two approaches are combined, one from Economic Geography and one from Urban Geography: production networks and global cities. For this, the author proposes five features to characterize cities in production networks. He shows that the concentration of corporate headquarters, the government and public institutions explain the central role of Buenos Aires. Transport and logistics, as well as the transmission of knowledge are also important. Industrial processing is not a relevant element of this gateway city. Peripheral locations are integrated into production networks because they provide labour and, via smes, generic products and services. However, activities that are knowledge-intensive and/or closely linked to value capture, hardly relocate to the periphery.
