Description
Summary:This essay presents the influence of the Garden City urban concept in the Mexican context, as it was applied in the first decades of the twentieth century in new housing developments in cities and even rural areas, associating it with a political discourse of economic progress, urban and architectural avant-garde and promotion of social equity, modernization and progress. The cases here reviewed show the adaptation of a foreign model to a local context and its national interpretation, as well as its modification to offer a kind of spatial social vindication of the 1910 revolutionary movement.
