Much of the modern city was built on the principles of functionalist planning, through which it was intended to have an order of functions located in different urban land areas supplied by highways and mass transit systems, which together achieved greater productivity and efficiency, urban coercive structure space control through which the hegemonic classes are assured of obtaining greater economic gains, with the city to serve the capital. Through this structure of a modern city, which favored the movement of the working class purchasing power historically men, however not take into account that a city isn't a conglomerate formed by homogeneous population, but constitutes one of its characteristics essentially urban diversity of its population, in which a large group it is women who are socio-culturally assigned to historical form, through their gender role of housewives, which takes place in the housing and its immediate surroundings domestic urban space. Domestic urban space of some neighborhood, is characterized by being formed originally to be a residential area, where the predominant use is housing (for the rest of the working class) and appropriate urban areas used more intensively by housewife, due to their daily practice socially bounded on gender, which in turn are a factor in the process of “barrialización” of several neighborhoods, as well as possible evidence of spatial effects in cultural practices and in another sense impact of cultural and gender issues to "urbanizacion sociocultural” these environments.
