| Sumario: | The following article addresses the conflict over urban territory between the Unión de Palo Alto Cooperative and the real estate capital, located in the area of Santa Fe, Mexico City. The research has a historical perspective; it addresses from the process of appropriation of the right to the city by the cooperative in the seventies to the threat of forcing them to sell their territory in 2021. The research focuses on updating the conflict over the territory that occurred in 2021, under the scenario of shaping and deepening the neoliberal city project, where structural conditions favor the real estate sector, threatening the right to the city of the cooperative. This process has resulted in the siege against the first housing cooperative in the city, which claims collective ownership of the land and its democratization to inhabit the city. |
