A study that highlights the territorial and demographic growth of Merida, Yucatan, and its metropolitan area, emphasizing the recent forms of neoliberal urbanization with its concomitant social and spatial impact. It looks at some of its most serious current problems product of an anarchic urbanization, such as a diffuse expansion and the conflicts of mobility and urban transportation. The main contribution of this book is the characterization of the impacts and trends of the neoliberal policies based in the fragmentation of "ejidal" rural land and expressed in large peripheral divided and subdivided parcels that threaten the permanence and reproduction of the still surviving native people in an environment in total transformation.
