Gomez-Palacio del Rio, Antonio Ignacio2012-10-052012-10-052000FES Outstanding Graduate Student Paper Series1702-3548http://hdl.handle.net/10315/18110This study questions the view that privileges planning professionals with the right and responsibility of building the city. Instead, it brings social movements, everyday practices and a cultural politics to the foreground of a study of architecture understood simultaneously as a profession, a built form and a way of life. The study of spatial practices in Mexico City, in conjunction with a reading of Lefebvre, presents the concept of space as a potential site for articulating a social/ecological project through planning and architecture in light of a democratisation of the planning process and a politicisation of urban spaces.enOtherhttp://www.yorku.ca/fes/research/students/outstanding/index.htm
