This book presents a case study of one of Latin America's most
important and symbolic spaces, the Zocalo in Mexico City, weaving
together historic events and corresponding morphological changes in
the urban environment. It poses questions about how the identity of
a place emerges, how it evolves and, why does it change? Mexico
City's Zocalo: A History of a Constructed Spatial Identity utilizes
the history of a specific place, the Zocalo (Plaza de la
Constitucion), to explain the emergence and evolution of Mexican
identities over time. Starting from the pre-Hispanic period to
present day, the work illustrates how the Zocalo reveals spatial
manifestations as part of the larger socio-cultural zeitgeist. By
focusing on the history of changes in spatial production - what
Henri Lefebvre calls society's "secretions" - Bross traces how
cultural, social, economic, and political forces shaped the
Zocalo's spatial identity and, in turn, how the Zocalo shaped and
fostered new identities in return. It will be a fascinating read
for architectural and urban historians investigating Latin America.
