El análisis de la intervención urbanística en Cartolandia a través del método de la foto-voz

This paper addresses the irregular settlement of Cartolandia in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico in1955, until its eviction in 1972. Using the Photo-voice methodology it allows the interviewees to give voice to the selected photographs. This method helps to rescue studies of oral memory, detecting emotions, events, anecdotes and feedback from the experiences of the actors. It is concluded that the process of gentrification helped the city to redesign its urban fabric, but for the locals, the social stigma and the breakdown of social cohesion and community identity persist.
