Abstract
In this document we examine the spatialization of urban inequality, considering scale as the detonating dynamics of social differentiation, and of phenomena such as violence or insecurity. Based on Neil Smith's proposal, we analyze the spatial unfolding of configurations that give continuity, on different scales, to capitalist overdeterminations under a logic of uneven development. We delve into the way in which capitalist accumulation tendencies favor the conditions of certain areas in the city to the detriment of others, as well as the subordination relationship that links center and periphery. A case study, in the municipality of Chimalhuacán, allows us to realize the way in which these dynamics are lived by the population, how the different scales are configured to sustain the inequality expressed in space, but also how said scalar configuration can be transgressed in an emancipatory sense.
