“…This highlights the still existing dichotomy between west and east of the city. Moreover, the results obtained in the study are consistent with other studies in different periods of time where, through different approaches, also highlighted the west-east differences [39][40][41][42][43][45][46][47][48].…”

“…Even though the San Juan de Dios River was forced underground in 1896, and the Independencia Causeway was built over it, the planned urban growth continued on the west side of the river, as exemplified by the so-called colonias in the period 1894-1924. The product of foreign capital and inhabited by foreigners and wealthy families from its beginning, colonias were homogeneous subdivisions that responded to commercial interests, which sought to the increase of the value of the land and that accentuated the east-west and poor-rich dichotomy of the city [39,40,[42][43][44][45][46][47][48].…”

Compositional Data Analysis Approach in the Measurement of Social-Spatial Segregation: Towards a Sustainable and Inclusive City

The location and context in which people live influences and conditions their opportunities in life. This becomes relevant in a world subject to rapid urban and demographic growth, in which different economic, social, and political forces generate and accentuate disparities in cities. The foregoing generates an unequal distribution of the different social groups in the territory known as socio-spatial segregation. The study of this phenomenon incorporates a large number of variables belonging to different dimensions. Nonetheless, few studies have addressed socio-spatial segregation with a multivariate analysis approach. In addition, the existing studies may have obtained misleading outcomes by not acknowledging the inherent compositional nature of their variables. The objective of the present study is twofold: (i) To assess whether the phenomenon of socio-spatial segregation in Guadalajara, Mexico exists; and (ii) to introduce and stress the use of compositional techniques for the study of socio-spatial segregation. The study applied principal component analysis and cluster analysis considering the compositional nature of census variables, particularly from economic and educative indicators. In addition, the study used geographical information tools to depict and interpret the results. The results are intended to serve in the fulfillment of the Sustainable Development Goals towards inclusive and sustainable cities.

“…In Mexico, GCs and privately-developed planned communities are not new; there are examples of their existence for high-income groups since the beginning of the twentieth century (García-Peralta and Hofer, 2006;Giglia, 2008;Scheinbaum, 2010). However, in recent decades, these residential fortified enclaves have become more common in Mexican metropolitan areas (Cabrales- Barajas and Canosa-Zamora, 2001). In my research, I focused on middle-class gated communities for two reasons.…”

“…). The most important cities in Mexico, such as Mexico City, Guadalajara and Puebla, have distinctive examples of whatBlakely and Snyder (1997) call 'lifestyle communities' or GCs for the affluent population which have been studied by several authors (Cabrales-Barajas and Canosa-Zamora, 2001; Rodríguez-Chumillas and Mollá Ruiz…”

From macro-level policies to microlevel practices

In recent decades, gated communities for affluent groups have gained academic attention worldwide. However, in nations with large inequalities such as Mexico, which are also affected by issues of insecurity, corruption, and violence, these enclaves have become more common for middle-income groups. Their existence is usually associated with the search for prestige and exclusivity, along with fear of crime and violence. However, this article focuses on other structural conditions that contribute to the proliferation of these fortified spaces, such as the connections between global economic forces and the changes in national planning, financial, and housing policies since the 1990s. Since then, Mexican peripheries have become more fragmented and disconnected and gated communities have proliferated. This discussion takes place in a context of global polarisation, both in the Global North and South, in which planners have been urged to respond to issues of growing fear, inequality, and violence. This article addresses the contradictions of polarisation, because some Mexicans are defending the right to build walls to protect from insecurity, while there is also social condemnation of the proposed wall by President Trump. The discussion about macroeconomic policies in the development of middle-class gated communities in Mexico is helpful in identifying the future risks and challenges that may come from the normalisation of exclusionary places.

“…Nevertheless, Guadalajara is prosperous, albeit this is mostly noticeable on its west side, where most of the city's gated communities, public parks, shopping centers, and other amenities are situated (Cabrales Barajas and Canosa Zamora ). The dividing line on maps that depict the city's population as determined by socioeconomic status (which the population office classifies according to “marginality” levels: see Figure ) is found at Avenue Independencia.…”

“Toma‐La Ciudad”: Intersubjective Activism in Guadalajara's Streets and City Museum

Resumen En el otoño de 2013, una red de activistas en Guadalajara, México, montó una exhibición en un museo, realizó intervenciones en las calles de la ciudad, y organizó eventos para persuadir a los habitantes urbanos y a oficiales de gobierno a remediar los problemas de la metrópolis. En su mayoría miembros de la clase media, los activistas usaron el nombre “Toma‐la Ciudad” para alentar a la población de la ciudad a involucrarse en esfuerzos de la sociedad civil organizada que tendrían el potencial de remodelar Guadalajara. Con base en trabajo etnográfico entre grupos involucrados, este artículo presenta el concepto “activismo intersubjetivo” y lo utiliza como medio para analizar los usos y las referencias a las experiencias sensoriales de la ciudad. Al estimular respuestas empáticas hacia cómo otros viven la ciudad, los activistas buscaron reducir las desigualdades en México. También parecieron aprender lecciones de activistas que les precedieron, cuyas protestas violentas no alcanzaron las metas deseadas.
