Who lived and worked in Pedregal before Ciudad Universitaria was built?

In my new article in @HAHR21 I trace the expropriation of four ejidos to build CU using documents from the agrarian archive and letters from the displaced ejidatarios themselves: https://t.co/yyCBwx7dUk

How did people imagine UNAM's Ciudad Universitaria in Mexico City before it was built?

¿Cómo se imaginaba la Ciudad Universitaria de México antes de que se construyera?

I wrote about unbuilt plans for CU in the Journal of Urban History (open access!): https://t.co/67HIEP6saW
