Description

In A Town on a Lake Matthew Vitz tracks the environmental and political history of Mexico Town and explains its transformation from a forested, water-wealthy environment into a smog-infested megacity plagued by environmental issues and social inequality. Vitz presentations how Mexico Town’s unequal urbanization and environmental decline stemmed from a large number of scientific and social disputes over water policy, housing, forestry, and sanitary engineering. From the prerevolutionary efforts to create a hygienic Town supportive of capitalist growth, thru revolutionary demands for a more democratic distribution of resources, to the mid-twentieth-century emergence of a technocratic bureaucracy that served the interests of urban elites, Mexico Town’s environmental history is helping us better bear in mind how urban power has been exercised, reproduced, and challenged during Latin The usa.
