AGUILAR DIAZ, Miguel Ángel  and  CAPRON, Guénola. The unsafe sidewalk in a gentrifying neighborhood: The construction of the others from local relationships. Estud. demogr. urbanos [online]. 2022, vol.37, n.3, pp.977-1005.  Epub Nov 21, 2022. ISSN 2448-6515.  https://doi.org/10.24201/edu.v37i3.2096.

The analysis of the use and meaning of the sidewalks allows the understanding of social relations among neighbors and their formal and informal management. In the well-being of a local environment, the quality, walkability and use of the sidewalks are an important issue. Here is presented a research experience about the social life around the sidewalks in a middle class central neighborhood in Mexico City that is undergoing a gentrification process. Also are ana- lyzed the conflicts that arise among neighbors, the atmosphere of insecurity and different strategies to cope with it.

Keywords : sidewalks; neighborhoods; gentrification; insecurity; Mexico City.
