Mexico City and its difficulties with water scarcity, Addressing air quality and environmental justice in Lima, Santiago de Chile's energy consumption and carbon footprint, Buenos Aires and the issue of urban agriculture and food security, Connectivity as a social transformation device in Medell?. The book goes beyond simply identify the challenges and explains some of the practical day-to-day planning efforts, including interviews with staff from those municipalities, illustrations, and strategies that have been successful. As a result, this book will be helpful to planners in the region, as well as outside Latin America, because it demonstrates how fruitful results can be achieved in areas typically perceived as underdeveloped Although based on research and data, this book offers a positive perspective on the possibilities rather than the limitations, hoping to inspire new generations of planners to pursue the career in the search of social change--
