This article develops a theoretical-methodological proposal that incorporates various discourse analysis strategies to explain the public policy process in discursive terms. Based on this approach, the production of urban green area policies implemented in Mexico City during the period 2006-2012 is examined. The case analyzed shows how the interdisciplinary and interscale approach enhances the understanding of urban and environmental discourses in their complexity, evidencing the mechanisms from which the concepts, categories and narratives that give legitimacy to public action are constructed.
