My review of David Yee’s Informal Metropolis (2024) is now out in @PlanningPersp. A powerful history of how Neza, Mexico City, emerged from land speculation, popular organizing, and state exclusion.

@HealeyParera O como diría Nanni Moretti, "D'Alema, dì qualcosa, reagisci... Dai, dì qualcosa, D'Alema, rispondi, non ti far mettere in mezzo sulla giustizia proprio da Berlusconi... D'Alema, dì una cosa di sinistra. Dì una cosa anche non di sinistra, di civiltà..."

[Leandro Benmergui @leanbenmergui]

@HealeyParera Notable (no tanto) que Grondona defina el "liberal" norteamericano de hace 30 años cómo zurdo. Siendo justos, por esa época donde estudiaba para el grado usabámos "socialdemócratas" cómo sinónimo de facho

[Leandro Benmergui @leanbenmergui]

@Dr_Anna_Rose Pretty much, indeed! 😂😅
It's going to be really good!
