Abstract

A panel discussion on “Total occupancy factor and municipal urban policy” was held at the Central Society of Architects (SCA) in July 1971. It was focused on the relevance of incorporating the notion of total occupancy factor (FOT) as an instrument to control the intensity of land use into the new Urban Planning Code (CPU) for Buenos Aires which was about to be approved. Experts and professionals involved in the construction of the city who had been working for the public administration, and, academy and market representatives were invited. Taking as an analysis case the article about the debate on 1971 FOT legislation which was published by SCA Magazine in its issue number 68, this text is intended to approach this meeting so as to reflect on FOT implementation as an instrument of urban planning. It is also discussed the role played by the invited professionals based on their different concerns regarding the professional practice.
