ABSTRACT
Mexico City’s urban mobility landscape has radically changed over the last two decades. This chapter offers an anthropological analysis of how such reshaping of infrastructures, regulations and practices has come about. Using an urban ethics framework, it argues that through a combination of interests and aspirations, individuals and organizations have helped outline novel possibilities of technical and normative configurations. These in turn have allowed for unprecedented practices and discourses of governance among urban dwellers. Negotiations and conflicts about what is best for the city and its dwellers have produced what is termed ‘governance flows.’ In the process, novel conceptions of belonging and ownership of the city have arisen, which are here termed ‘political becomings.’
