- Summary:
- Architect Carlos Contreras Elizondo, (Aguascalientes, 1892 - Ciudad de México, 1970) was one of the pioneers of scientific urbanism, the discipline based on data, exact coordinates, demographic information and modern statistics as means to resolving the problems of any large city. "This book traces the history of Mexico City during the first half of the 20th century; decades where the modernization of a post-revolutionary Mexico in transformation, growth and recomposition had to be attended. Alejandra Escudero, its author, reconstructs the urban-architectural and political scenario that architect (Carlos Contreras Elizondo) faced." (HKB Translation) --Page 8.
