The present research aims to analyze the process of urbanization in the Centro Poblado Santa Cruz de Villacurí (known as “Barrio Chino“), within the context of agricultural transformations in the Pampas de Villacurí. To achieve this, it was necessary to undertake a historical reconstruction on two levels: the local (the C.P. in question) and the regional (Pampas de Villacurí). Therefore, two phenomena closely linked to the case study were understood: de-ruralization and urbanization. For that reason, there was an exploration of the theoretical propositions of Lefebvre (1991) and Harvey (1990; 2012) regarding the production of space, as well as those of Wallerstein (2001; 2011) and Martínez Godoy (2020) concerning changes in rural and agricultural spaces. Following the data collection during a five-month fieldwork, the following central finding was obtained: the history of the C.P. experienced a turning point with the entry of agribusiness into the pampas. This led to a rapid urbanization, significantly altering the spatial practices of the various identified social actors: the proletariat, private sector, and the State. That phenomenon, coupled with the increasing land concentration due to agro-export, has led to the disappearance of peasant farming. Therefore, I aim to argue that there is a process of de-ruralization at play, with this region becoming a spatial fix for agribusiness. Despite labor mobilizations emerging since 2020 at Barrio Chino and at other proletarian neighborhoods in Ica, this problematic has not been deeply addressed in the national academia. Thus, this research contributes to agricultural, rural, and urban studies simultaneously.
