Abstract

MARCADET, Yann. "Dwelling" in Mexico City's center: Spatial practices in Santa Maria La Ribera. Alteridades [online]. 2007, vol.17, n.34, pp.39-55. ISSN 2448-850X.

The article examines the daily spatial practices of the inhabitants of a socially heterogeneous Mexico City's central neighborhood. This sector has more and more middle class population. The goal is to understand what the role of the social class is and the role of the other criteria such as sex, age and residential trajectory within the definition of the way of life of the people who live in the same neighborhood. The study offers some contribution to the conclusions of some publications on middle class and it also aims to participate in the debate on segregation in the Mexican capital.

Keywords : daily spatial practices; segregation; middle class; Santa Maria La Ribera.
