But small pockets of green spaces nestled across the city are bringing neighbours together to share skills and make friends.
STORYLINE :
A group of neighbours are hard to work in a community farm in the Tlajomulco city in the Guadalajara area in Mexico.
This urban farm is part of a project that aims to create a sense of community and help people with living costs, by producing their own food.
Eighteen years ago Georgina Gaspar, a junior high school teacher and community activist set up a garden hoping to reduce crime by using unused spaces in different neighbourhoods.
