Urban empty spaces can be understood as those vacant lands waiting to be built. In legal terms, its regime can vary between public and private. This article analyzes the nature of its geospatial distribution, examining the correlation between this urban phenomenon and the socioeconomic inequality of the population of three border cities in northern Mexico (Mexicali, San Luis Río Colorado, and Nuevo Laredo). A descriptive-comparative methodology was implemented based on statistical techniques and digital and physical surveys of the vacant lands in these cities. The results indicate that poverty levels and the number of empty urban spaces are directly related (positively correlated). In conclusion, a comparative discussion is presented between the three cities is presented. Also, the main differences and coincidences identified are pointed out.

Palabras llave : empty urban spaces; socio-spatial segregation; geospatial analysis; poverty; border cities.
