La Ciudad de México entre vaivenes económicos y una postmodernidad desigual

Abstract

Mexico City has assembled a large part of the country’s population and of its economic activities. Industries and services are to be found in its territory, along with corresponding social, administrative and cultural infrastructure. Such condition has been strengthened thanks to the city’s transition throughout modernities, transforming a territory that continues to be essential. However, in spite of these features, the city shows a series of social problems, especially in the outskirts of the city. Whereas certain areas have adequate livable conditions, others develop without the very basic services. Despite important urban planning projects, proper atmospheres to favor their development have not been found. All of this is the product of a neoliberalism privileging a few people and giving way to unequal postmodernity.
