Over the past two decades, large-scale affordable housing complexes (AHCs) have increasingly become a social and material issue within the spheres of urban policy and housing development in Mexico. By means of a "Creating City" global policy, an integral concept of development (CONAVI, 2008a), large-scale AHCs have been regarded as a success by the national government and as an outstanding urban practice that could put Mexico at the forefront of change in the modern urban world. The new housing schemes represent a formula for "good city" growth, a legitimized model for housing production, and a means of laying down the conditions for the social betterment of millions of Mexican families.
