This paper analyzes the emergence of solidarity networks and collective learning spaces as one of the consequences of urban socio-environmental conflicts. It describes the case of the General Assembly of Peoples, Neighborhoods, Communities and Pedregales of Coyoacán, an organization that emerges in a conflict over the environmental damage caused by a real estate project south of Mexico City. It is argued that solidarity networks and collective learning are part of a territorialization process with expectations of environmental justice mobilized in protest.

Keywords : urban conflicts; territory; solidarity; environmental justice.
