VEGA CENTENO, Pablo. Invisible Inequality: 'Public Spaces' Everyday Life in the 21st Century's Lima. Territ. [online]. 2017, n.36, pp.23-46. ISSN 0123-8418.  https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/territorios/a.5097.

Abstract The transformation process experienced by Lima in the current era of globalization has led to the intensification of segregation and/or exclusion practices on how to use urban public spaces, although paradoxically, this does not seem to be an issue that preoccupies Lima citizens. The aim of this work is to sustain that everyday life in public spaces expresses the big social inequalities that exist in Lima, which offer multiple sides in conflict, for instance the passerby against motor vehicle driver or the inhabitant-resident against inhabitant-passerby, which often overlap more visible inequalities such as the level of income or place of residence.

Keywords : passerby; public space; Lima; everyday life; urban conflicts; inequality.
