| Sammanfattning: | In the last decades, the process of economic globalization has initiated in urban planning policies which have disregarded the public interest, privileging private interests. This territorial ordering at the service of economic interests and politicians is nothing new: according to Foucault (1977), it came into view in the end of the eighteenth century. However, today this trend is acquiring new characteristics under the effects of globalization. In this article, we analyze the consequences of globalization in urban development through the analysis of social and territorial impacts of these megaprojects, particularly those that have been implemented in Mexico City. We also address some theoretical approaches that contribute to the conceptualization of the city as a common good. From these premises, we analyze the ways that the megaprojects, as products of globalization and of the new urban development paradigm, go against the construction of a collective urban project. Finally, we reflect on the current forms of production of the city and of public space. |
