    History of Exchange Mexico City, Mexico Chicago’s Sister City Since 1991 Co-Chair: Alejandro Silva Co-Chair: Adriana Escarcega 1991 Focus: Signing Agreement Chicago and Mexico City became friendship cities in October 1991, when Mayor Richard M. Daley and Mexico City Mayor Manuel Camacho Solis signed a Friendship Cities Agreement at a reception hosted by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. While in Chicago, Mayor Solis addressed the University of Chicago's Mexican Studies Department, visited the Mexican Fine Arts Center Museum and the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations and toured Chicago's Mexican communities. Prior to the signing, Mexico City officials Hesiquio Aguilar and Xavier Casillas participated in the 1991 Sister Cities International Conference held in July. 1992 Focus: Culture Helen Valdez, Chair of the Mexico City Committee, presented slides and information on the Archaeological Treasures of Tenochitian exhibit. Focus: Culture Chicago poets participated in the Poem for Mexico City contest where the prize for the winner was a trip to Mexico City and the opportunity to perform. Poets from Mexico City, Prague and Shenyang attended the finals. 1993 Focus: Culture The Mexico City Committee sponsored The Art of the Other Mexico: Sources and Meanings. This exhibit, produced by the Mexican Fine Arts Center Museum opened in November 1993 and featured contemporary artwork of 20 artists of Mexican descent from across the U.S. Focus: Culture Artist Monica Castillo participated in the O'Hare International Airport Terminal mural project. The mural representing Ms. Castillo's impression of Chicago, titled El Viento (The Wind), was permanently installed in the arrival corridor of the International Terminal at O'Hare Airport.

  • The Status of Rallus Elegans Tenuirostris in Mexico
    Jan., 1959 49 THE STATUS OF RALLUS ELEGANS TENUIROSTRIS IN MEXICO By DWAIN W. WARNER and ROBERT W. DICKERMAN Except for brief mention of occurrence in the states of Mbico and Tlaxcala and the Federal District and of measurements of a small series of specimens collected a half century or more ago, no additional information has been published on Rallus eleganstenuhstris. This subspecieswas described by Ridgway (1874) as Rallus elegans var. tenuirostris from “City of Mexico.” Oberholser ( 193 7) in his revision of the Clap- per Rails (R. Zongirostris) discusseda series of rails taken by E. W. Nelson and E. A. Goldman in July, 1904, near the headwaters of the Rio Lerma, referring to them as Rallus longirostris tenuirostris. Other, more recent major works have referred to the race of large rails inhabiting the fresh water marshes of the plateau of Mbico, two citing elegans and two citing longirostris as the speciesto which this population belongs. In conjunction with other studies in the marshes of central Mkxico, Dickerman col- lected fifteen specimens of this form between July, 1956, and May, 1958. These, plus two recently taken specimens from San Luis Potosi, extend greatly the known range of tenuirostris and add to the knowledge of its biology. All available material of tenuirostris was obtained on loan, as well as sufficient material of R. Zongirostris,including all speci- mens available from the east coast of MCxico, to give us a better picture of the large Rallus complex in MCxico. Sixteen specimens from various populations of both “species” in the United States were also at hand for comparisons.

Modernism Without Modernity: The Rise of Modernist Architecture in Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina, 1890-1940 Abstract : Why did machine-age modernist architecture diffuse to Latin America so quickly after its rise in Continental Europe during the 1910s and 1920s? Why was it a more successful movement in relatively backward Brazil and Mexico than in more affluent and industrialized Argentina? After reviewing the historical development of architectural modernism in these three countries, several explanations are tested against the comparative evidence. Standards of living, industrialization, sociopolitical upheaval, and the absence of working-class consumerism are found to be limited as explanations. As in Europe, Modernism

  • Chapter Vi Discussion and a Few
    CHAPTER VI DISCUSSION AND A FEW CONCLUSIONS MEXICO, PUEBLA, GUANAJUATO Point Imagery One might expect that topography would dictate at least part of the Guanajuato imagery, a supposition borne out by the linear ordering of ele­ ments along the major thoroughfares. More interesting, however, is another observation: Quanajuato's streets are so irregular as to give no clue to orientation, while Puebla's a~e so regular in both pattern and nomencla­ ture that specific mention of a street or street intersection in direction­ giving is redundant. In neither of the two extremes do paths figure sig­ nificantly as elements of the image. What this suggests is that path sys­ tems figure prominently - as in Lynch (1960) - when they give some, but not totally reliable information concerning orientation to the layout of the city as a whole. This conclusion is borne out in the image maps of Mexico, where paths constitute a much larger proportion of all elements mentioned. Many of the street names are almost landmarks in themselves, commemorative of dates and important figures in Mexican history, and contributors to world history as well. Paths are cu~s to orientation in all parts of the capital, but learning them is no small task for the newcomer. Streets continuing in the same direction ,often change names when crossing a major intersection or going from one colonia into another, while other streets (e.g. Paseo de la Reforma) change direction without changing name. To further complicate the task, some streets have two simult;aneous names: one the newer "official" name and the other an older "popular" name which the inhabitants still use when giving directions.

  • New Trends in Upgrading Rio-De-Janeiro's Favelas

All rights reserved Printed in Great Britain 0197Ð3975/98 $19.00#0.00 PII: S0197-3975(98)00022-8 Alleviating Urban Poverty in a Global City: New Trends in Upgrading Rio-de-Janeiro’s Favelas AYSE PAMUK* and PAULO FERNANDO A. CAVALLIERIs ‡ *ºniversity of »irginia, Campbell Hall, Charlottesville, »A 22903, ºSA sO¦ce of the Municipal Secretary of Housing, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil ABSTRACT In contrast to the ‘‘eradication and resettlement’’ approach of the 1960s and 1970s, and the implementation of isolated public-works projects in the 1980s, the 1990s in Rio have brought a comprehensive upgrading approach to the favelas. Such local innovations in Brazil began to emerge after the enactment of the 1988 Constitution that gave municipali- ties the power to formulate urban policies and laws at the local level. We examine the FavelaÐBairro Program, in particular, highlighting its five central features: (1) projects designed to integrate favelas with planned neighborhoods (bairros), (2) urban redevelop- ment plans that embody a comprehensive approach, (3) an emphasis on coordination among municipal agencies, (4) utilization of a participatory approach, and (5) the use of private sector firms in executing public works projects. ( 1998 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved Keywords: squatters; integrated redevelopment; poverty alleviation; Brazil INTRODUCTION Symbols of universal homogenization delivered by transnational flows of capital, culture, and ideas abound in ‘‘global’’ cities in less developed countries (LDCs). On the surface, the central business districts of LDCs appear more closely connected to the world’s financial centers than to their own immediate surroundings.

We use the contingent valuation method to estimate the costs to Accepted 5 August 2020 drivers of Beijing’s driving restrictions program, one of the world’s largest. Our study Available online 24 August 2020 generates three main findings. First, costs are substantial: RMB 356 to 709 (US $54 to $107) per driver per year, which represents 0.5 to 1 percent of annual income, and RMB 1.6 JEL classification: billion to 3.3 billion (US $247 million to $493 million) per year for all drivers. Second, Q52 fi ’ R48 comparison of our cost estimates with estimates of the bene ts of Beijing s program from other studies suggests that the benefits exceed the costs. Finally, the costs per driver are Keywords: significantly smaller than the costs (estimated using the same methods) of Mexico City’s Contingent valuation program, which by most accounts has had zero benefits.
