Políticas empresarialistas en los procesos de gentrificación en la Ciudad de México

Abstract

The urban restructuring in Mexico City since the late 1980s has led to various processes associated with gentrification. Urban entrepreneurial management has facilitated the production of real estate megaprojects, the revitalization of urban neighborhoods, the fragmentation of the social fabric and the displacement of resident population, workers, and some traditional activities of those urban spaces that have been revalued. The complexity of these urban processes leads to a theoretical reflection and debate necessary to understand these profound urban transformations. Therefore, the recent neoliberal urban policies and their relationship to the presence of various processes of gentrification, its forms, intensities and different temporalities are examined herein. The article deals with the analysis of the Historic downtown and other paradigmatic neighborhoods of the inner city
