The Gated City. Planning Practice and the Challenges of Urban Fragmentation in Mexico, de Emma Regina Morales

The book is one of the few academic efforts to understand how urban fragmentation processes are expressed in other parts of the country, specifically in the city of Puebla. It focuses on the issue of exclusive or gated communities. It presents an interpretive framework that allows it to explore how urban fragmentation has manifested itself in Mexican cities, from a perspective that prioritizes multiscale and multidimensional reflection, placing at the center of the academic debate the forms and mechanisms that have allowed for the consolidation of the political, cultural, social, and economic networks that enable the emergence of these forms of urbanization.
