The aim of this paper is to rethink the metropolitan spatial practices not only as forms of reproduction, but also as forms of gender social innovation. The spatial analysis will be done on the basis of daily mobility practices in the everyday spatial experience of women in a popular neighborhood of downtown Mexico City. Practices that express ruptures and continuities, and that are not necessarily significant by their persistence, but by their importance in shaping the everyday life and the construction of an urban collective imaginary that occasionally shows increasing quests for breaking the continuity.
