DUCHARME, Eliott. Pedestrian Mobility, Senses of Place and (De)Territorialization in a Mexico City's Popular Periphery. Territ. [online]. 2023, n.49spe, 12927.  Epub 06-Fev-2024. ISSN 0123-8418.  https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/territorios/a.12927.

This work focuses on the representations of local space by inhabitants of a Mexico City's popular periphery from their practices of pedestrian mobility. It is based on the observation of five mental mapping workshops, oriented on pedestrian mobility's conditions, in which inhabitants of the "pueblo originario" of the San Gregorio Atlapulco, located in the southern fringe of Mexico City's urban area, participated. The inhabitants report the impossibility of walking freely and decently in San Gregorio, which gives rise to a feeling of deterritorialization. The analysis of the workshops uses pedestrian mobility as an approach to understand the modes of "appropriation of space", starting from the idea that when the potential for space appropriation is undermined, the inhabitants highlight certain elements of a "sense of place" which they wish to preserve.

Palavras-chave : Place; territorialization; popular periphery; pedestrian mobility; space.
