Abstract
Local endowment of priority housing developments in the peripheral areas is a crucial element to market the houses. In addition, it improves the dweller’s standard of living. Therefore, some actors are seeking to control this endowment through different strategies of power. With a qualitative approach, this work analyzes the strategies in three neighborhoods in Ciudad Satélite, a residential development located in a peripheral area of San Luis Potosí, Mexico.
These cases evince how the public sector uses a flamboyant discursive power while the private sector uses the power to control the dwellers without being coercive. On the other hand, the dwellers question these forms of power through some practices whereby they appropriate and produce spaces in order to adapt them to their needs. The findings will serve to support the design of public policies as long as they bridge the gap between daily needs and the planning and production of priority housing.
