摘要
The historic center of Morelia is one of the most stately and best conserved in Mexico, so much so that in 1991 it was declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO. Notwithstanding such a mark of distinction, the last 25 years have seen the center invaded by a proliferation of street vendors, a problem that until recently seemed insoluble. It generated not only social and environmental problems but also limited the enjoyment of the public spaces by residents and tourists alike. Thanks to consensual political action and multiple negotiations, the more than 1,500 vendors were removed and relocated in more appropriate locations, leaving the city center to better exhibit its pleasant environment and distinguished architectural past. This paper documents the methods used in the relocation process, especially the role played by the Patronato Pro-Rescate del Centro Historico which, for Mexico, appears most encouraging and has generated a climate of optimism.
