| description | In the last decades there have been significant changes in Mexico City’s urban core. The hegemonic thought has often interpreted these changes as a process of building upgrading and resettlement. At the same time, some scholars are denouncing a gentrification process and the substitution of the poorer dwellers for more affluent ones. This paper develops a historical review of the urban center devaluation and revaluation and its relation to more recent sociodemographic changes by exploring the Mexican census. As a result, the research highlights a series of sectors in the urban core where strong public or private investment coincides with the social upgrade of its population. |

The hegemonic thought has often interpreted these changes as a process of building upgrading and resettlement. At the same time, some scholars are denouncing a gentrification process and the substitution of the poorer dwellers for more affluent ones. This paper develops a historical review of the urban center devaluation and revaluation and its relation to more recent sociodemographic changes by exploring the Mexican census. As a result, the research highlights a series of sectors in the urban core where strong public or private investment coincides with the social upgrade of its population. El centro urbano de Ciudad de México ha sufrido fuertes transformaciones en las últimas décadas, que en el discurso imperante tienden a interpretarse como una rehabilitación y repoblación. Al mismo tiempo, algunos académicos afirman la existencia de un proceso de gentrificación que implicaría la sustitución de la población más humilde de estos sectores. El presente texto pretende aportar a este debate realizando una interpretación histórica de la desvalorización y revalorización del centro urbano y su relación con los cambios sociodemográficos más recientes, ilustrados a partir de la exploración de los censos de población y vivienda. El resultado es la identificación de una serie de sectores del centro urbano donde coincide una fuerte reinversión de capital público y/o privado con tendencias a la promoción social relativa de su población.
