This research estimates that the persistency of the urban fabric and damaged housing due to different political-administrative and technical factors including the forced relocation of certain segments of the population promotes gentrification and the destruction of the sociocultural structure, thereby affecting the resilience of the city and the possibility to achieve effective territorial planning.The third paper, entitled “Place-Making and Construction of Informal Settlements in Mexico”, prepared by Lombard, serves as a reflection on the influence of discursive construction on informal settlements within a marginalization context; this is a process that has tangible consequence for dwellers.
A partir de este estudio, se estima que la persistencia de tejido urbano y viviendas en deterioro, debido a distintos factores político-administrativos y técnicos, sumado a la relocalización forzada de determinados grupos sociales, promueve condiciones de gentrificación y destrucción del tejido sociocultural, afectando con ello la resiliencia de la ciudad y la posibilidad de una efectiva planificación territorial.
