PEREZ LOPEZ, Ruth  y  BARRAGAN RODRIGUEZ, Lucía. Construcción social de un espacio público en la ciudad de México: la plaza Zarco y sus jóvenes. Nueva antropol [online]. 2012, vol.25, n.76, pp.13-32. ISSN 0185-0636.

The authors of this article present the study of a public space as a starting point for the analysis of the social dynamics of young adults living in the street. The authors examine the urban experience of these groups and the difficulties they face in a place where inequality, urban segregation and social injustice are visible. From their vulnerable situation, what are the possibilities of their participation in the social construction of the urban space they inhabit? How do they participate in this construction? These are some of the questions the article tries to answer.

Palabras llave : young adults living in the street; spatial practices; identity; social construction of space; urban anthropology.
