Summary
Urban transformation strategies in historic centers, driven by tourism goals, significantly alter social dynamics and the relationship between public and private sectors. A longitudinal study of Morelia's Historic Centre reveals that while such interventions aim to boost commercial activity, they often lead to social exclusion by shifting the balance of power toward private entities. The research highlights how these changes not only reshape public space perception but also redefine its role in urban life, emphasizing the need for equitable development approaches.
