Is Mexico City gentrifying?

Anders 1w geleden 2 answers • jarrah_mexico

I've visited Mexico City several times and really enjoy it, but this time I noticed a lot of foreigners on the streets. Almost every restaurant I went to was run by foreigners, and I couldn't find any traditional fondas. I'm not sure if it's just the area I was in or if the city is generally changing.

Gentrification is a complex issue, and it's not just about the number of foreigners in a neighborhood. The city's population is over 9 million people, so it's not surprising that you saw some foreigners. However, gentrification can still have negative effects on local communities, especially if it leads to the displacement of long-time residents.

Yes, Mexico City is gentrifying, but it's not just because of foreigners. The city's central neighborhoods, such as Cuahutémoc, Benito Juárez, and Miguel Hidalgo, have been gentrifying since the 1990s. This process is driven by urban change and can be exclusionary, pushing out long-time residents and small businesses.
