Abstract
In recent years, Lima has undergone an accelerated process of privatization of its public spaces, in which the walker has been losing access to the city. In order to analyze this trend, three aspects that manifest this discriminatory character were chosen: the sidewalks as the pathways of the walker; pedestrian crossings as a meeting place for motorcyclists; and access to public toilet services. In each aspect, we present images of how the walker must face an aggressive, hostile and dangerous city, which only denies him adequate access and use of public space, but also lowers his citizen status by violating his rights, especially free transit.
