MEJIA HERNANDEZ, Ismael e PEDROTTI, Carolina Inés. Appropriation and control of resources in urban expansion. The metropolitan periphery as a disputed space among social actors. Estud. demogr. urbanos [online]. 2020, vol.35, n.2, pp.479-516. Epub 30-Jun-2020. ISSN 2448-6515. https://doi.org/10.24201/edu.v35i2.1884.
This article presents the pueblos originarios (indigenous people) and their logics of action as part of the set of actors that influence and shape the urbanization process in the metropolitan periphery of the Valley of Mexico. Those are the ones who have traditionally populated these spaces and have used the territory’s basic resources for their settlement, employment and subsistence. The mentioned characteristics gave them historically some margin of authority and control over such resources, a situation that has been transformed and even lost over time, given the processes of settlement and transformation of their immediate environment, and the consequent intervention of other actors, with whom today they dispute their resources, especially land and water, key elements for urbanization.
