Mirar la ciudad

The urban landscape not only generates sensations and perceptions in those who observe the city, but it is also a fundamental aspect that affects the development of human life in cities. Illustrated with photographs of Mexico City, this book provides its readers with a methodology to analyze, enjoy and look at the city. British architect and urban designer Gordon Cullen's work has been studied, consulted and multi-cited in the Anglo-Saxon environment although not so much in the Hispanic American environment. Miguel Ángel Medina reviews, updates and adapts to contemporary reality the theoretical and methodological content of Cullen's book "The Concise Townscape" from a contemporary perspective and in a context that, although geographically and temporarily distant from the context in which Cullen worked, can be defined as qualitative means to reverse, mitigate or alleviate the present socio-urban problems in Latin America
