As of 2003, the creation of Community Centers (CC) in Mexico mainly attemptedto tackle urban poverty challenges, although without losing sight of the necessarystrengthening of communities’ social fabric. The emphasis placed on the first objective,which was mostly addressed through human capital formation, relegated social capitalcreation to the background, causing the latter to not go beyond fostering social ties throughdaily interactions among those attending the centers. The incentive that CCs could provide to any progress in social fabric’s strengthening should translate into greater effectiveness inthe struggle against violence, which has been bleeding Mexico out for a long time.Although this analysis would apply to the whole country to a large extent, we focus on theparticular case of Nuevo Leon. El habitar se vuelve una experiencia enrarecida y difícil en una sociedad con altos índicesde violencia. La aparición de Centros Comunitarios (CC) en México a partir de 2003 tratósobre todo de enfrentar los desafíos de la pobreza urbana, aunque sin perder de vista elnecesario fortalecimiento del tejido social de las comunidades. El énfasis puesto en elprimer objetivo, que se abordó principalmente a través de la formación de capital humano,dejó en segundo plano la cuestión de la creación de capital social, que no ha logrado irmucho más allá del fomento de vínculos sociales a través de la interacción cotidiana entrelos asistentes a los centros. El impulso que pueda darse desde los CC a cualquier avance enel fortalecimiento del tejido social debería traducirse en mayor efectividad en términos decombate a la violencia que viene desangrando al país desde hace tiempo. Aunque el análisisque aquí se hace sería aplicable en buena medida a todo México, lo abordamos desde elcaso particular de Nuevo León.
