Title

Mirages of Citizenship: Informal Water Access in Xochimilco's Suelo de Conservación

Subject

Informal Settlements

Description

This thesis explores Xochimilco's status as a conserved delegation in Mexico City and the informal settlements that have arisen in the area. Looking at access to water in conserved land, I analyze how informal residents are subject to an altered status of citizenship, unable to benefit from the government's provision of services like their formal counterparts.
