Guadalajara: Revisiting Public Space Interventions through the Via RecreActiva
The Via RecreActiva in Guadalajara, Mexico, is a weekly street-closure event that has evolved from a recreational bike path into a catalyst for political and social change. Since 2004, it has fostered civil society activism that successfully blocked car-centric infrastructure (the Via Express) and influenced the 2015 municipal election. This shift led to the institutionalization of participatory governance tools and new planning entities, although the city still struggles with gentrification, displacement, and the imbalance between private and public investment.
