| description | In this article we present some clues to understand the dynamics of the urbanization promoted by the neoliberalism in Puebla, the centre area of Mexico, based on some recent policies, such as 1) the privatization of the water service; 2) land stripping and territory restructuring in the area of Angelopolis in order to build new real estate developments and; 3) the commodification of the Historic Centre patrimony due to tourism. Such processes have taken place as part of a group of transformations in the city economy, the role of the State and its relationship with the private capitals involved in certain urbanization projects; these have also generated a series of social struggles that have tried to resist such measures. |
