Transformation and Fragmentation: The Metropolitan Area of the Mexico Basin - 2004.
20
The aim of this article is to analyse the phenomena referred to as the «fragmentation» of urban space in the Mexico Basin, by studying new architectural forms and practices that have appeared in the peripheries south and west of this metropolitan area in recent decades. An analysis of the pattern of urbanisation in the valley and the spatial distribution of different social groups provides a better understanding of the numerous enclosures springing up in the affluent, residential parts of the metropolitan area. These need to be interpreted in the context of a redefinition of the dividing lines of social segregation on a local, regional and global scale.
