Estructura ecológica urbana: planeamiento y gestión urbana en la ciudad de México

Abstract

Sustainability, green and ecological modernization, is concepts that have acquired great importance in international political discourses and that have figured in programs and policies at the national level. To some extent the explosion of these terms reflects the success of capitalism in a neoliberal space-time domain, becoming a smokescreen to hide the socio-spatial fragmentation of the urban landscape from global discourses that conceal the transformation of natural resources In commodities, the capitalization of nature, the transformation of politics into management and planning into ideology. The text seeks to reflect on the production and reproduction of urban space based on three axes of analysis: in the first, we analyze the postmodern "form" of ecological capitalism and the neoliberal conformation of the new environmental paradigm; In the second one, the ideological and practical bases that define the political legitimacies of urban planning in Mexico City will be identified, and finally the last one will analyze the importance of new planning paradigms through urban networks that can contribute to the union of different territorial systems such as the Urban Ecological Structure.
