CABRERA, Lorena  and  DELGADO, Javier. Real Estate Sector and Urban Structure in the City of Puebla, 1900-2010. Secuencia [online]. 2019, n.103, e1512.  Epub Jan 01, 2019. ISSN 2395-8464.  https://doi.org/10.18234/secuencia.v0i103.1512.

The objective of the essay is to offer a simultaneous interpretation of the impact of real estate capital on the urban structure of Puebla between 1900 and 2010 at the metropolitan level. This long-term methodological approach provides a general context, useful for understanding the complexity of a city that has exponentially increased its area and housing stock at the same time. Its originality lies in the analytical approach adopted, making it possible to understand the spatial repercussion of the adjustment to national and local policies, systematize isolated data on the creation of different forms of housing groups, and showed the change from a compact to a scattered urban structure. The main contributions are a synthesis of the territoriality of these processes, some seminal ideas about the role of the real estate market and the relationship of social forces and pressures exerted, as well as an outline of conjectures that may be useful for discussing less successful urban policies.

Keywords : real-estate market; housing; promoter; urban structure; Puebla.
