Urbanism
Urbanism in its latest form is conceived as the planning and design through the implementation of Euclidian zoning practices (design following a straight line), which are the way to gather the variations normally found inside a habituated place. Once the variation is simplified, a new form of living emerges, where factors such as dependence of the automobile, increased consumption of land and social isolation vanish. The way to treat this situations is to incorporate them using an adequate design of spaces, streets and housing. (Christensen, 2012)
When approaching an urbanism design, it is important to consider that the practice comes not after the destruction but to the incorporation of existing places to an optimal space to where to develop and implement the principles of this theory. New Urbanism is the sequel to what was the actual planning of making cities before the birth of the World War I, when a modern movement took over this principles of well thought design. (Galván, 1997)
The obstacles regarding New Urbanism have to be answered in a way which will reduce the static to make modifications.
There is another type of urbanism called the “Ecological Urbanism”. Ecological urbanism has a functional design which “provides the synthetic key to connect ecology with an urbanism that is not in contradiction with its environment”. (Harvard University, 2014)
Urbanism has to distinguish what it creates as a community, not just infrastructure, so a faster and better develop of the cities comes from the active participation between the participation of both designers and citizens. Each block urbanism creates has a proper identity, giving it a special meaning to be proud of and stand for. Examples of urbanism found in Mexico could be found in Monterrey, in a neighborhood called “El Obispado” and “El Mirador” and in Mexico City in the wards “Roma” and “La Condesa”. (Galván, 1997)
