Abstract
Informal settlements have been part of the models of urban structure and socio-spatial differentiation of the Latin American city in the last thirty years. However, growth, consolidation and increasing heterogeneity of such settlements make them not just an element of the city but a city in itself. Despite the challenges that such informal cities present in terms of planning and management, there has been no attempt to model their structure and transformation in time. Therefore, in this article we propose the historical perspective as a base to understand the socio-spatial differentiation of the informal city. The case study is Ciudad Nezahualcoyotl, Mexico; a city with an informal origin with more than one million inhabitants and more than fifty years of transformation, where in principle is possible to identify some elements of intraurban differentiation.References
