Abstract

As a contribution to the studies on urban history in Mexico, this article off ers an articulated reading on the main influences, actors and basis that – at least from the 1920s – have permeated the initiatives to build a theoretical framework (conceptual and instrumental) for Urban Planning in Mexico. Historical studies on the evolution of this discipline are scarce and – at least in the case of Mexico – dispersed and fragmented; and for this reason, the contribution of this integral exercise of historical articulation intends to record the evolution of Urban Thought in Mexico during the first decades of the 20th Century, and with that base, to outline a group of critical lines that confirms the fall of the model of Urban Planning in Mexico.
