The Road to El Dorado
Octubre 2016, inglés
This month, like conquistadors of centuries past, tens of thousands of us will ascend the Andes to Quito, Ecuador, in search of El Dorado. But, unlike our brutal and greedy predecessors, we are not pursuing metallic wealth beyond our wildest dreams. The golden city we seek promises a sustainable urban future. Our map—the New Urban […]

The 2016 Atlas of Urban Expansion Indicates Global De-Densification
By John Wihbey
Octubre 2016, inglés
Cities around the world seem to be stretching out physically and consuming land at a rate that exceeds population growth. As populations double, land use triples.
