The dissertation aims to analyze the transformation of the city of Ushuaia, from its settlement process and how the city became known today as "Fantasy Island". The dissertation focuses on interviews with people born in Ushuaia, with migrants from other regions of Argentina and immigrants. The purpose of the interviews was to understand the reasons for the wave of people into the city and the existing relations between the old prison, the phenomenon of economic promotion, tourism and the place idealized as the place of enrichment. The main points raised in order to understand the phenomenon occurred are if Ushuaia can really be considered a "Fantasy Island", which is the profile of people who migrated to Ushuaia and with what interests and aspirations. The result of the interviews gives an answer to the questions regarding the real motives which led and still lead people to relocate there and validates the hypothesis raised by the literature review. The dissertation also addresses the major urban problems that arose due to the migratory movement. It also handled the development of urban planning of the city since the late nineteenth century, the attempts of local government in creating the adequate conditions for the occupation of new lands, the results of success and the recurring problems with apparently disordered occupation. It concludes with an analysis of the latest actions of the government, with the records of people from different backgrounds on the degree of awareness and participation in implementing these actions and their importance in maintaining the city development
