Rome: a strategy of urban and metropolitan re-balance
Keywords:
Modernity, planning, models, transfer, Latin AmericaAbstract
This article explores the catalytic role of the town planner Carlos Contreras in the
transfer of avant-garde urban models for Mexico City at the beginning of the twentieth
century. After a long stay in the city of New York, this town planner would go on to
institutionalise town planning in the country through the introduction of regulatory
frameworks and standards, as well as operational structures within federal and state
governments and through tireless promotional work through magazines and associations.
Considered the first modern town planner in Mexico, Contreras developed urban proposals
which would crystallise in the emblematic 1933 Regulatory Plan for the Federal District, on
the basis of which the foundations of planning in Mexico were laid. This event is still considered a compulsory reference both as a sustainable model of urban development and for understanding the development of one of the great metropolises of the 20th century.
