Sumario:This article addresses three sites in Mexicali, Mexico, chained not only terri- torially, but by the threads of history: The New River, the Monte Albán hous- ing complex, and La Chinesca neighborhood. Each of these places show not only the conformation of a hybrid landscape, but as it is argued in the text, certain founding places inscribed in it that have been transformed by diverse forms of speculation. Thus, the changes in the territory are de ned by a succession of failed montages and uncertain moves.
