Summary

Urban regeneration projects in Guadalajara's historic center, particularly around the UNESCO-listed Hospicio Cabañas, have increasingly prioritized speculative real estate interests over community needs, leading to cultural and territorial dispossession. This shift, driven by governments and professionals aligned with private sector agendas, marginalizes local populations while promoting large-scale urban transformations that serve financial gains. The study highlights how institutional frameworks facilitate privatization, often at the expense of heritage preservation and social equity, underscoring the need for more inclusive, community-centered approaches to urban development.
