Social relations in the urban space in the pueblo de santa fe, mexico city

Abstract

This research refers to two main tasks: the first is a theoretical discussion of space in the city as a molder of social relations from urban sociology and, second, on the observations and results of a study in a neighborhood of Mexico City that accounts for the change of relational dynamics in the city. The methodology used was qualitative in-depth interviews that were used in addition to obtaining visual evidence. The main result of this discussion is that the present city shapes relationships between individuals, especially in the urban space, in which the same individual does not have the capacity to intervene physically, but only in a symbolic way.
