The New Era of Latino Urbanism

“The first part of the 21st century will be dominated by cities. It will be urban. For the first time in the history of the humanity, more than the half of the population of the planet will live in cities.

In that historic context, urban development is more important than ever. Urban development involves diverse disciplines, from urban design to urban planning to urban management. All of these define how cities are planned and how those plans are executed.

Antonio Villaraigosa, the Mayor of Los Angeles, and Enrique Peñalosa, the former-Mayor of Bogota, Colombia, are Latin American leaders in North America and South America that are recognized as leading the new urban movement and they are developing new solutions to problems that confront the largest cities of the world. “
