SANCHEZ RUIZ, Gerardo G.. La modernidad urbana en México. Fuentes teóricas y prácticas de la primera mitad del siglo XX. Secuencia [online]. 2006, n.64, pp.80-108. ISSN 2395-8464. https://doi.org/10.18234/secuencia.v0i64.952.
During the 1920s, on the basis of the planning ideas that were transforming the world's main cities, a group of Mexican professionals devised a theoretical, legislative and instrumental body to deal with the shortages of a society that was striving to progress in the wake of the revolution. Nevertheless, as the years went by and in the midst of social contradictions, these ideas and practices, grouped together under the concept of planning, were separated from the sphere of the city, region and nation, reduced to the mere opening up of streets and, notwithstanding, regarded as town planning. History contributed to this minimization by failing to recover these ideas or prejudging them. That is why the article seeks to reconstruct this history from its sources, and in this section, from the situations conceived of by Mexican professionals living abroad.
