| Sumario: | The city of Mexicali, Mexico, has been one of the final stops of the migrant caravans –registered since 2018–, a receptacle for migrants deported from the US and a waiting place for the 'Remain in Mexico' program, characteristics that make it a space of transition. At the same time, this border capital with the state of California has important problems associated with the deficit in equipment and infrastructure, which are reflected in the low quality of public spaces and the precarious state of reception spaces.
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. |
