Abstract

Domestic contemporary living and Mexico City’s large housing developments have seen postponed their housing pourposes behind political and economical agendas. Developments from the period of history know as "Milagro mexicano" (1940-1970), were political propaganda of the Stae´s modernizing project. Those from the twentieth-first century have mainly favored real-estate developers’ profits. Outcomes, specially for recent experiences, contradict the pourpose of promoting equity through housing production.
