Mexico City's Real Estate Boom Fuels Environmental Crisis for Urban Poor
Cities like Mexico City are growing rapidly, but this growth is causing environmental problems, especially for the urban poor. The real estate industry plays a big role in this growth, leading to uneven development and negative impacts on the environment. A study looked at how the real estate industry in Mexico City has expanded from 2012 to 2018 and found that it has led to ecological issues and social conflicts. This research used a mix of economic, ecological, and political tools to understand how urbanization affects the environment and society. The findings show that urban development in Mexico City is driven by profit, causing problems for both people and the environment.
