| Resumo: | The article intends to make a first approach to the limitations and possibilities of the gentrification process in the La Floresta neighborhood (Quito) covering three dimensions: population change, mutations in land uses, and the insertion of new alternative economies. Initially, a brief characterization of the gentrification processes is made in the city of Quito, identifying its particularities. Then the transformations that La Floresta has experienced in the last years in terms of its social composition are identified. Next, emphasis is placed on changes in land uses derived from urban planning and real estate investment. Finally, the dynamics of insertion of creative classes and new economies in the neighborhood whose impact is manifested in changes of its economic structure are explored. It is concluded that from this new class and economies, low-income groups experience new processes of insertion in the labor market, managing to perceive a process not of displacement but, rather, of social hybridization, which allows the renewal and reactivation of your asset portfolio. |
