Abstract

The question of spatial segregation has a differentiated facet in the peri-urban context, related to other dimensions of urban and rural habitat. The case of Morelia, Mexico, exposes different situations of tension between the real estate development over rural areas, and the relational perspective of the original communities. The methodology includes interviews and a photographic archive, bought antecedents allow us to discuss the current situation of peri-urbanization in Latin American and the effects of the territorial advance of the financialization in the region. In this sense, both property and modernity emerge as capital reproduction strategies in relation to the productive and social relations of the study-area. As a final reflection, a perspective about the right to the city is proposed which is opposite to the spatial and social fabric of the Morelia peri-urban area.
