| Spanish abstract | La política de vivienda en la Zona Metropolitana del Valle de México se caracteriza por un tránsito entre la construcción masiva de vivienda en la periferia urbana y la redensificación en las áreas centrales. Retomando el concepto de desarrollo geográfico desigual se realiza una revisión sobre la modificación en las políticas habitacionales y los subsidios públicos para la adquisición de vivienda, tanto en la periferia como en áreas centrales. Desde los argumentos propuestos por la geografía crítica se establece que las dinámicas residenciales presentan una tendencia a la concentración de población de bajos ingresos en la periferia metropolitana, mientras a la par, se revalorizan espacios de uso habitacional de las áreas centrales destinados a sectores de población de mayores ingresos. Con ello se aprecia una diferenciación espacial promovida por el mercado formal de vivienda |
| English abstract | The housing policy in Mexico is characterized by transiting between promoting the massive construction of housing in the urban periphery and the redensification in central areas. In the case of the Mexico City Metropolitan Area (MCMA), this has resulted in the confinement of low-income inhabitants in northern and eastern peripheral suburbs, characterized by poor urban equipment, infrastructure, and services, while various selected spaces in the central area are intended for middle-and high-income populations. In the early twenty-first century, the conditions of the “facilitator State” (Puebla, 1999 and 2006), which set favorable conditions for the reproduction of capital, made of the real estate and financial sectors the primary agents in housing construction. The housing sector was considered as a major component of economic activity in the construction industry; therefore, the mass production model was given a significant boost. In the period 2000-2006, support for the real estate offer was stimulated by increasing the number of credits for the purchase of new houses. At that time, more households were built than in any other period, with nearly 1.8 million houses (Iracheta, 2015). In the period 2006-2012, the credit system was maintained, and even strengthened, evidencing the growing importance given to housing construction as a catalyst of the national economy from the beginning of this century. This situation led to the expansion and excessive growth of the urban periphery in medium and large cities, resulting in various issues in the construction of housing areas. Many issues relate to poor infrastructure and urban equipment, few employment sources, and problems related to the quality of basic services such as education and healthcare (Arango, 2013; Cervantes and Maya, 2017; Linares, 2013). This has translated into an increase in abandoned houses. To face this expansion and excessive growth at the periphery of Mexican cities, the discourse of go |
