| Summary: | The morphological characteristics of public spaces are of central concern for the generation of wealth at the neighbourhood level. This thesis explores how these characteristics might be formed so as to increase the potential for Mexican housing estates to overcome their current conditions of economic marginalisation. The economic systems currently established in these estates seem not to support property values or the profitability of businesses located there, nor to offer reasonable economic support for residents; in part because of the morphological characteristics of the residential environments in which trading relationships take place. |
