Urban Transformation in Mexico City and Bogotá: A Comparative Analysis of 1979 and 2007

This presentation explores the urban evolution of Mexico City and Bogotá by comparing maps and photographs from 1979 and 2007. It highlights significant changes in the built environment, focusing on areas like Isidro Fabela in Mexico City where former squatter settlements have transformed into consolidated neighborhoods. The study utilizes visual aids, including maps and photographs, to illustrate the expansion of urban areas and the development of community spaces. Observations reveal the dynamic nature of urban living and the sociocultural implications of these transformations.
