El presente artículo desarrolla la conformación histórica y social de Tijuana, Baja California, México. Abarca desde 1829, cuando le otorgan la concesión al Sr. Arguello, hasta la Tijuana de 2010, aquella ciudad que cambio dramáticamente su espacio social tras la firma del Tratado de Libre Comercio con América del Norte, para consolidarse en 'la ciudad multicultural' de México. El artículo incluye además del pasaje histórico, un análisis multifactorial de la ciudad, abarcando los ejes temáticos: desarrollo poblacional, desarrollo urbano, economía local-regional, trafico de sustancias ilícitas, y su intrínseca relación con California (Estados Unidos) y su influencia a lo largo del tiempo.
The article reviews how organized crime is structured in Tijuana, Mexico, and produced a geography of criminal power through the local real estate. Criminals seep illicit money into the real estate sector in its whole, and more specifically to residential and non-residential buildings, concealing the origin of the resource and, at the same time, increasing wealth and criminal means of production. Therefore, this manuscript analyzes some of the characteristics of the properties bought by transnational organized crime members through money laundering. The research-based mix methods through qualitative, quantitative, cartographic, and historical techniques provide a comprehensive analysis of the situation.
