Abstract
RAMIREZ SAIZ, Juan Manuel and SAFA BARRAZA, Patricia. Recent trends and challenges in three large Mexican cities: Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey. Cuad. antropol. soc. [online]. 2009, n.30, pp.77-92. ISSN 1850-275X.
In this paper we analyze a series of factors or aspects in three large contemporary Mexican cities: multi-culturality, inequality, social and urban fragmentation, public insecurity and conflicting conceptions of what the city should be. The article offers an overview of the current situation, on the basis of the authors' own research projects and a review of recent literature on the topic. It is therefore primarily a theoretical paper.
Keywords : Multi-culturality; Social and Urban Inequality; Urban Fragmentation; Public Insecurity; Conceptions of City.
