| Sumario: | The emotional connection between people and the places they inhabit is crucial in the design, intervention, and understanding of urban spaces. This article aims to capture Foucault's notions of heterotopia as a theoretical framework to address attachment to place in the material and symbolic reality of postmodern cities. The article investigates the theoretical and conceptual interconnections between the dimensions of attachment to place and heterotopias and and its implications at the city scale. The problem addressed stems from the scarce research on the construction of attachment to place in heterotopic spaces. The characterization of an urban park in the city of Monterrey as a heterotopia is presented, along with its significance for studying attachment to place in this environment. The results highlight the importance of an analysis from heterotopic spaces as a strategy to understand the functioning of attachment to place in the complexity of postmodern cities. A valuable contribution is provided in the considerations for studying the role of attachment to place as a dynamic and multiscale phenomenon in today's society. |
