Abstract

The promotion of the neo-liberal economic model in Mexico City has stimulated capital investment, as works and interventions, which trigger conflicts between the social actors involved. This article proposes an analysis of the situation surrounding the public nature of the Reforma Social Park, located in the Miguel Hidalgo Mayor's Office. We show the confrontation of interests between the neighbors, which are mobilized to conserve the park and a group of business actors who plans to develop a real estate project. In the framework of the territorial struggles that cross the metropolis, we analyze the conflicts under the assumption that they modify the power relations before the outbreak of the confrontation. After delimiting the conflict as a situation, we will introduce the voice of the actors, their arguments and positions. Also, we will propose a dynamic reading that analyzes alliances, and the neighbors' capacity to offer new territorial defense strategies. Throughout the analysis, we see how, at the same time as the cohesion of the neighbors increased, the leading role that cartography has played is recognized, particularly about the process of appropriation and territorial projection, which the inhabitants experience.
