In this discussion, along with Dalia Milián Bernal we will delve into the fascinating life-stories of three modernist social housing estates in Latin America, starting from their conceptualization and construction, navigating through their state of neglect and partial abandonment, culminating in their re-appropriation and creation of collective urban spaces. Through these stories, we will evidence the complex and contrasting social processes that produce and are manifested in urban space.

Join us, we promise you an exciting and energetic talk on Wednesday the 11th!
