The JUH special section on Latin American Capitals that this piece is part of will be out soon. Many thanks to editors Ernie Capello and Josh Savala and authors Daniela Samur, Leo Prieto, and Alison Bruey for all the great work on this!
Thanks, Rachel! May be some interesting intersections with your work, too (some planners studied at Columbia!).

I took a dive into the archive of unbuilt plans for CU and wrote about them in the Journal of Urban History. Check out "Imagining University City" (open access!): journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
Really enjoyed @renatakeller.bsky.social’s book presentation and a fascinating round table at FLACSO Mexico last month!
Really looking forward to this conversation! @faisdaudau.bsky.social
