SUMMARY With a metropolitan population of more than 21 million people, Mexico City faces distinct challenges in delivering sustainable urban mobility. The city has made considerable strides in improving mobility options by expanding metro lines and creating a BRT system and a public bikesharing program. The city should focus on investing in future transportation, developing regulations, and collaborating with academia and LQGXVWU\WRSURPRWHLQQRYDWLRQ7KHFLW\KDVDQH[WHQVLYHDQGD΍RUGDEOHSXEOLFWUDQVSRUWQHWZRUNEXWLWQHHGVWRDGGUHVVWKHJURZLQJ numbers of private cars, which it does in part through initiatives to restrict their use.

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

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.
