The objective of this research project is to know and reflect on the conception and perception of this border city from the perspective of the population in transit, through the collection of information from observation tours, in order to identify the manifestations of integration and appreciation of the urban and social context, taking into account the assumption that migrants, deportees and displaced people live differently from the inhabitants settled in the cities they arrive in and trying to answer how they do so. La ciudad de Mexicali, México, ha sido una de las escalas finales de las caravanas migrantes –registradas desde 2018–, receptáculo de migrantes deportados desde EUA y lugar de espera del programa ‘Remain in Mexico’, características que la convierten en un espacio de transición. Al mismo tiempo, esta capital fronteriza con el estado de California cuenta con importantes problemas asociados con el déficit en equipamiento e infraestructura, las cuales se reflejan en la baja calidad de los espacios públicos y el estado precario de los espacios de acogida.  El objetivo de la presente investigación es conocer y reflexionar acerca de la concepción y percepción de esta ciudad fronteriza desde la perspectiva de la población en tránsito, mediante la recopilación de información a partir de recorridos de observación, con el fin de identificar las manifestaciones de integración y valoración del contexto tanto urbano como social, atendiendo el supuesto de que los migrantes, deportados y desplazados habitan de manera distinta a los habitantes asentados en las ciudades a las que arriban y procurando responder cómo es que lo hacen.   Facultad de Arquitectura, Urbanismo y Diseño 2022-12-29 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf text/html application/epub+zip https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/pensu/article/view/38252 10.59047/2469.0724.v8.n9.38252 PENSUM; Vol. 8 Núm. 9 (2022); 87-104 2469-0724 10.59047/2469.0724.v8.n9 spa https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/pensu/article/view/38252/40101 https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/pensu/article/view/38252/40102 https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/pensu/article/view/38252/40103 Derechos de autor 2022 Berenice Vizcarra https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0
