Shopping centers at zmcm. The companies, location and production of a neoliberal urban space

Dante-Guillermo Celis-Galindo (2021, [Artículo, Artículo])

This work aims to analyze different aspects of shopping center at the Metropolitan Zone of Mexico City as location, opening year and developer company. Also it will identify diverse characteristics, economic and political phases in the country as well as the role of the development companies and shopping centers as a producers of a neoliberal urban space. This paper presents the way shopping centers importance has growth and how it had become in a neoliberal city characteristic; with this the characteristics of these urban works are visualized and related with their construction companies and local governments which has caused the transformation of the city. After conducting a census, with more than two hundred shopping centers, the study was delimited to those with the greatest significance by size, location and developer. At the beginning of the paper, the characteristics that shopping malls should have for the realization of this work are mentioned. In a first section an approach is made to the theoretical elements of the city and the shopping center and therefore identifying the developers that most  nfluence this process; the second section addresses the characteristics of places by location and the characteristics that urban planners have depending on the area where they are; the third section discusses the years of opening, the squares and relates to government administrations and the economic characteristics of the country; and finally, a tour of the urban regulations in Mexico City and its latest modifications is made.

Urban muralism in cities and towns of Chiapas. Configuring collective experiences and recovering urban spaces

Maria de Lourdes Morales Vargas (2023, [Artículo, Artículo])

This article expresses some reflections on the practice of urban muralism and the result of the approach to urban muralism projects or initiatives that have taken place in some cities, towns and villages in the state of Chiapas. This approach has made it possible to describe the dynamics, forms of participation, processes and agents that participate in the configuration and collective expression of urban murals in these spaces. From descriptive ethnography and its tools it was possible to approach the experiences of urban intervention that coexist with the community, in streets, parks, business walls, houses. This has made it possible to understand the practice of urban muralism as an artistic, collective, community process, a project of regeneration or urban recovery and as a practice of symbolic production of incidence in the space where it is implanted, configuring multiple experiences.

Modificaciones territoriales por procesos de urbanización y aprovechamiento de aguas residuales: Implicaciones socio ambientales en el ejido de Soledad

REBECA ARELLANO MOCTEZUMA (2020, [Tesis de maestría])

"El objetivo de la investigación es identificar y analizar las implicaciones socio ambientales por procesos de urbanización que transforman el territorio, que a su vez generan volúmenes de agua residual fomentando así el aprovechamiento para uso agrícola en el ejido de Soledad. Para ello, se busca responder a la siguiente pregunta, ¿Cuáles han sido las modificaciones territoriales debido a los procesos de urbanización, sus causas y efectos en la pérdida de superficie agrícola y en el aprovechamiento de aguas residuales en el ejido de Soledad? Lo anterior considerando que analizar el proceso de urbanización permite revelar los posibles factores que explican la transformación urbano–rural que se presenta en la zona de estudio."

Socio-spatial segregation of socio-environmental assets of public green spaces in the city of Durango, Mexico

Carlos Alejandro Custodio González Tania Ortiz Patricia Catalina Medina Pérez (2024, [Artículo, Artículo])

The current development model's accumulation logic has resulted in the emergence and consolidation of social processes like segregation, leading to differentiated access and availability of urban goods and services among social groups based on socioeconomic, ethnic, or societal standing. The current development model's accumulation logic has resulted in the emergence and consolidation of social processes like segregation, leading to differentiated access and availability of urban goods and services among social groups based on socioeconomic, ethnic, or societal standing. This disparity impacts employment levels, educational performance, urban decay, and environmental degradation. In this context, the article aims to examine the socio-spatial segregation in the access to socio-environmental amenities provided by public green spaces (EVP) in a medium-sized city, specifically Durango, Mexico. The analysis utilizes spatial analysis and statistical methods that involve five variables associated with EVPs: surface area, percentage, number, density, and the socioeconomic level of the population. A spatial pattern of segregation was identified through these variables, resulting in four clusters that impact how the city of Durango is inhabited, produced, reproduced, lived, and constructed.

The listening in the contemporary city. Theoretical approaches

Gustavo Alfonso Galván Cázares José Guadalupe Rivera González (2021, [Artículo, Artículo])

The present article sets out different theoretical approaches around the sound and the act of listening in the contemporary city as well as the processes of production and significance of the city through the mentioned act. The central goal of this writing is to contribute to the interdisciplinary discussions about the coupling of sound/ listening in the field of urban studies since the aforementioned dissertations are still scarce in the Latin American context. To this effect, firstly, listening as an epistemic means by which the city is learned is discussed. Afterwards, some implications about different global processes in the urbanites’ aural practices are analyzed. Lastly, the necessity of appealing to citizen’s listening as an essential element to consider throughout the planning, construction, remodeling and the plans of territorial restructuring as well as in every physical and symbolic transformation of the city is presented. In this context some theoretical premises about the experimentation of the public space through hearing, being aware of the sound as a component that allows an appropriation and significance of the space as well as an element of social cohesion and generator of identities are analyzed.

Del transporte a la plaza. El desarrollo urbano en Azcapotzalco y la renovación del CETRAM El Rosario

Érick Serna Luna (2023, [Artículo])

Artículo número 4 de la Sección Artículos de investigación

Desde inicios del siglo XX, Azcapotzalco ha sido un referente del desarrollo industrial y económico en la Ciudad de México, donde el transporte es un aspecto clave de estas transformaciones. En las últimas dos décadas, el espacio de la zona noroeste de la alcaldía ha sido objeto de múltiples transformaciones urbanas, producto del cambio de actividades económicas. Una de las últimas transformaciones ha sido la renovación del Centro de Transferencia Modal (CETRAM) El Rosario. Este caso permite mostrar cómo se cruzan las políticas de desarrollo económico con las políticas del transporte, relación que se ha promovido como el último hito del progreso con la conversión de los paraderos en plazas comerciales. Con base en un análisis histórico y etnográfico de este CETRAM, el objetivo del trabajo es describir cómo se han transformado las dinámicassociales del transporte y el consumo en la zona. La premisa del trabajo es destacar que los ritmos del desarrollo urbano no van a la par del progreso de las dinámicas sociales en el espacio. Así, pese a que las renovaciones impactan en la morfología del espacio, no terminan por transformar las dinámicas sociales por completo. Un ejemplo, es la persistencia del comercio informal pese a la renovación que pretendía erradicarlo.

Mapas, territorios y narrativas urbanas

Los mapas nunca se han dibujado solos. Desde Cipango hasta Santafé, pasando por la ciudad de México, la de Michoacán o barrios inadvertidos como Xocotitla, siempre han existido unos ojos para describir o medir los territorios. Entre las varas, millas, cartas de navegación, croquis o fuentes cartográficas no sólo hallamos distancias, sino también abismos culturales. En este libro los planos participan de una historia contextual: revelan tanto el horizonte cultural de quienes los elaboraron como de sus usuarios. Se muestran paisajes narrados, vividos y representados: desde las notas de Marco Polo a las rutas de Cristóbal Colón, hasta los proyectos futuristas irrealizados en Bogotá, pasando por la presencia de las trazas renacentistas en las urbes prehispánicas, la división por cuarteles o por el reparto de tierras comunales indígenas, todo nos invita aquí a compartir una apasionante reflexión sobre cómo se construye el pasado desde el mundo visual de los planos.

SOCIO-SPATIAL TRENDS: A GENERAL READING OF PUBLIC SPACE IN HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS

Mariel Organista Camacho Karen Estrella Martínez-Torres Claudia Rivera-Torres (2023, [Artículo, Artículo])

Human nature implies social interaction in diverse environments, where public space, seen as an essential mediator, becomes disconnected, impersonal, and deteriorated exterior spaces, coupled with a lack of interest in participation, inclusion, and personal development. Therefore, this research aimed to analyze the socio-spatial relationships in public spaces based on the inhabitant perception of two housing developments in Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico. This study used a mixed methodological approach to collect information by applying the following instruments: a questionnaire on public spaces, a series of in situ and aerial photographs, and field observations. A total of 196 surveys were applied from 2016 to 2019; the morphological, typological, and functional characteristics of the public space were also observed. The results evidenced an imminent need to carry out their daily activities on a smaller scale and intensity within the housing complex with a level of spatial satisfaction within a scale of 6.37/10. In this regard, the inhabitants reported a higher attendance of the public space use in Los Encinos in contrast to Villas (62.6% and 39.3%, respectively), even though the travel times were shorter in Villas. Regarding the public space usefulness, both cases weighted spatial understanding followed by access ease to the housing complex with a Pearson correlation coefficient equal to or greater than 0.47. In this sense, spatial relations showed dispersion, disorganization, and fragmentation from the ephemeral. In contrast, social relations were considered impersonal, hurried, and of convenience, subordinated to the conditions of the environment, being that personal well-being is built from relations with the exterior and with the collective itself.

The pedestrian trajectories derived from the barriers of the public space

Amanda Casillas Ana Victoria Casillas Zapata (2023, [Artículo, Artículo])

Walking behavior respond to various factors, both internal and external, the first one is linked to the pedestrian's motivation, and the second one is linked to the opportunity offered by the built environment. The public space in the cities represents the main articulator of pedestrian movements, allowing flexible or fixed types of trips to be carried out. Therefore, those urban spaces that are detached from the network conformed by the pedestrian infrastructure could limit accessibility and alter the paths of travel. This study addresses the cases of three neighborhood parks that in recent years have had their configuration transformed by closing their perimeters in a partial or total way; the main objective of this study is to identify the types of pedestrian trajectories that derive from these barriers, as for those who move from within the neighborhoods and those who move from outside. These trajectories were analyzed under a qualitative approach and a descriptive scope. This allow us to determine that the parks, according to their disposition, have the potential to attract or repel the pedestrian movement, whether they were used as a destination or a connection place for displacement. In this way, it was possible to determine that the pedestrian trajectories are conditioned by the reduced permeability of these spaces.
