CURZIO, Claudio. Poverty and Abandoned Spaces: An Analysis Focused on Three Border Cities in Northern Mexico. Entrediversidades rev. cienc. soc. humanid. [online]. 2021, vol.8, n.2, pp.119-144.  Epub 26-Fev-2024. ISSN 2007-7610.  https://doi.org/10.31644/ed.v8.n2.2021.a06.

Abandoned spaces can be understood as an urban phenomenon related to those obsolete buildings that have gradually lost their condition of habitability. Thereafter, the objective of this article is to analyze the nature of its geo-spatial distribution, emphasizing the correlation between this phenomenon and the socio-economic inequality of the population. To this end it offers a geospatial analysis focused on three border cities in the north of Mexico -Mexicali, Nuevo Laredo and San Luis Río Colorado-. A descriptive-comparative methodology was carried out based on digital and physical surveys of the abandoned spaces, with which databases were created for each of the cities. Thus, using statistical and spatial analysis techniques it was possible to obtain the models and results. The article closes with a comparative discussion between the three cities, as well as with the differences and coincidences detected.
