NEW PERSPECTIVES ON THE CITY AND ITS ANTHROPIC CONTEXT
Synopsis
In 2012, the UAA Publishing House published the first volume of the collection Convergences of design and construction: Architecture, Civil Engineering and Urbanism, with the aim of bringing together in a single electronic book the knowledge that was beginning to yield results, thanks to the collaboration of the three disciplines involved. By then, the modality of electronic books was beginning to gain strength in the publishing world. The publication, in fact, represented a conceptual genesis based on anthropic environments, which synthesizes the human habitat as the artificialization of existence (on nature). In this vein, lines of research and scientific production began to develop, in line with specialists concerned about this impact on nature and environmental changes.
The second and third digital books of the collection appeared in 2013: The anthropic environment, experiences in Mexico and Spain and Vol. III of the Convergences collection. The fourth book in the collection (Vol. IV) was published in 2015, and it began to address specific contemporary issues, such as society, urban heritage and sustainability. In volume V of the collection, an effort was made to write about the future of the city, sustainability and conservation, and finally, the Convergences collection was closed with Vol. VI, continuing with the concern for conservation and sustainable elements, but adding the ingredient of interdisciplinarity. It was decided to close this editorial collection because the gestation cycle of the anthropic sphere concept was beginning to mature. However, a new book was published in 2020 with the title Habitat and Contemporary City, resulting in a good product focused on the study of heritage, territory and interdisciplinarity. In the same year, a new book was published, thanks to the joint participation of the Interinstitutional Doctorate Program in Architecture (PIDA) and the UAA: Architecture and Contemporary City. Heritage, territory and environment, emphasizing the three lines of research developed by PIDA.
This is how the eight digital books that precede this one demonstrate investigative peculiarities, related to architecture, urban planning and infrastructure, artificial components of a city. However, how to repair the damage inflicted on nature and improve the coexistence between buildings, infrastructure and their environment remains pending on the agenda. For this book, called New perspectives on the city and its anthropic context, a call was launched in 2021 and 33 chapter proposals were received. However, due to the qualitative demands of Conacyt, especially due to the rigorous parameters of the National System of Researchers (SNI) in Mexico, it was decided to make the peer review system carried out for each document received more severe. As a final result of this process, only 21 proposals were accepted (of the 33 available). The call for the book contained three main axes: habitability, infrastructure and territory, in addition to the 34 sub-axes that group the lines of research available at that time, in terms of anthropic areas.
Therefore, the research and science addressed in this book have their origins in two major areas: architectural-urban and urban/territorial planning. In these, the phenomena related to habitability and territory are protagonists, especially due to the lines of research involved. To achieve the focus on convergences, anthropic areas and new contemporary perspectives, the authors participating in this editorial edition worked successfully on specific sub-axes and problems: Historical studies of architectural spaces, with the study of microhistory and architecture; Built heritage and conservation, with materials, legislation and culture; Technology and educational spaces, with digital environments, COVID-19, teaching-learning; Industrial and intangible heritage, with society and work culture; Urban territorial studies, with public space and quality of life; Urban sociology, with housing and tourist use; Urban morphology, with land value and urban facilities; Design, urban management and sustainability, with gender violence and spaces, citizen participation and models and infrastructure; Urban and regional development, with urban regeneration and social inclusion; and finally Neoliberalism and urban planning, with globalization and socio-spatial transformation.
