Abstract

This paper analyzes the urban inequality in the Mexican city of Juarez, and how it is a consequence of the unnecessary urban sprawl encouraged by local public and private agents. The analysis makes emphasis on the processes experienced by the locality, since the early 1990s when the private sector became involved in the supply of public goods and services. This research work embraces a qualitative approach and develops a Case Study to provide evidence; it incorporates 23 semi-structured interviews with subjects from 20 different neighborhoods. Research results portray that the urban inequality experienced by local inhabitants in Juarez responds to two major reasons: the local public policy and the manipulation in the production of urban land.
