Ambulantage et services à la mobilité: les carrefours commerciaux à Mexico
Résumé
STREET TRADE AND MOBILITY SERVICES: THE CROSSROADS IN MEXICO CITY.
Among various urban changes, the intensification of intra-urban mobility is characteristic of the contemporary phenomenon known as metropolization. In this context, we examine here the services brought to everyday urban travellers, through the study of the so-called informal commerce or street vending, in selected crossroads in Mexico City's metropolitan area. We established a classification that, in spite of the fluidity and fuzziness of activities, allows us to understand how the retail offer is precisely adapted to urban life paces, to traffic modes and to the social and geographical features of connecting places.

L'intensification des mobilités intra-urbaines est caractéristique des mutations contemporaines regroupées sous le terme métropolisation. Il s'agit ici d'étudier les formes prises dans ce contexte par les services aux voyageurs du quotidien, au travers de l'observation du commerce dit " ambulant " ou " informel ", dans une sélection de carrefours de l'agglomération de Mexico. Nous avons établi une typologie qui rend compte, au-delà de la fluidité et du flou des activités, de la structuration d'une offre commerciale adaptée aux rythmes de la vie urbaine, aux modalités de déplacement et aux caractéristiques sociales et géographiques des lieux de croisement ou de correspondance
