Session Submission Type: Panel
This panel resumes our conversation focused on `Dialogo de Saberes' as the basis of its interdisciplinary hermeneutical urban research. By disentangling international and national intertwined narratives in the urban space, we explore case studies throughout the twentieth and twentieth first centuries to discuss the place of a transnational exchange within urban planning policies, public works, and private initiatives. Such practices molded discourses of modernity, change, and development in the Americas. Among the different study cases presented are comparative works related to the work of foreign professionals working in the U.S., Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela.
