At the same time, the lower classes were eradicated from old city districts and deported to the outskirts. \u003ci\u003eThe Metropolis in Latin America, 1830-1930 \u003c\/i\u003esurveys this expansion, focusing on six capital cities--Havana, Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Santiago de Chile, and Lima--as it examines sociopolitical histories, town planning, art and architecture, photography, and film in relation to the metropolis. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Drawing from the Getty Research Institute's vast collection of books, prints, and photographs from this period, largely unpublished until now, this volume reveals the cities' changes through urban panoramas, plans depicting new neighborhoods, and photographs of novel transportation systems, public amenities, civic spaces, and more. It illustrates the transformation of colonial cities into the monumental modern metropolises that, by the end of the 1920s, provided fertile ground for the emergence of today's Latin American megalopolis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Idurre Alonso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1606066943\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781606066942\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Getty Research Institute\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/31\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 324\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.26h x 10.79w x 1.26d","brand":"Idurre Alonso","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44042542481663,"sku":"9781606066942","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fb31c886-b60d-4614-865f-52f8f10dcfce.jpg?v=1684962136","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-metropolis-in-latin-america-idurre-alonso-9781606066942","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
