Abstract: This article analyzes the law regulating the use of technology for public security in Mexico City and its relevance for urban e-planning. The law establishes a legal framework for the installation of video surveillance systems and equipment, in particular surveillance cameras, with the goal of preventing, inhibiting and combating illegal behavior, as well as guaranteeing order and tranquility of the population. This article explores the relationship between some aspects about video cameras, law, media and urban social control in Mexico City. The idea is to show how the law governing the installation and use of surveillance cameras in the city defines security and safety within a large urban renewal project, while opening the possibility of legitimizing a particular type of city government.
