seeking the common in Latin American cityscapes

About this blog...
Latin American Cities in Common looks for shared spatial and cultural practices in, between and beyond particular urban environments.
though it acknowledges that Latin American cities are often dangerous, impoverished and vice-ridden landscapes, it emerges from a positive urban philosophy, a belief in the power of commonality and the common(s) as a means to construct urban communities.
it seeks to celebrate rather than denigrate the city of men that is so often placed in opposition to some implied and unreachable city of god.
