Abstract

The transformations of historic areas of Latin American cities in recent decades, and its effects on society, is one of the axes of the debate in contemporary urbanization; this research examines correspondences and contradictions between the use promoted by urban planners and the actual function, given by inhabitants. Through a theoretical and methodological approach, which emphasizes the critical view of the processes of intervention in public spaces, urbanization is understood as a process generated by the elites to consolidate the capitalist system, and the built forms as communication channels of hegemonic accepted use of spaces, which citizens consume and also, act upon it.
