How did people imagine UNAM's Ciudad Universitaria in Mexico City before it was built? ¿Cómo se imaginaba la Ciudad Universitaria de México antes de que se construyera? I wrote about unbuilt plans for CU in the Journal of Urban History (open access!): journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00…

Out today, a special issue of the Journal of Urban History I co-edited with Ernesto Capello! "Capital Cities of Latin America: New Approaches and Scales" includes a co-written introduction and four articles. 1/4 tinyurl.com/3bbjw269
