Some people think they know all the answers. They know how far you should live from your job. They know how big your backyard should be. They know how cities and forests should grow. Government planners claim to know all of that and more. They say that if you want to live in pleasant communities, enjoy beautiful wilderness, and get to work on time, you should put them in charge. But 30 years of research has convinced Randal O'Toole-one of Newsweek's...

Aunque la refriega política que nos abruma se envuelva en banderas, pugne por el control del territorio y reclame nuevas fronteras, la corriente de fondo que transforma el mundo en el siglo XXI es el fenómeno urbano. J.M. Martí Font dibujó en La España de las ciudades esta clave, el paisaje social y político, que emergía de la gran recesión.

England has a housing crisis. We need to build many more new homes to house our growing population, but house building is controversial, particularly when it involves the loss of countryside. Addressing both sides of this critical debate, Shaun Spires argues that to drive house building on the scale needed, government must strike a contract with civil society: in return for public support and acceptance of the loss of some countryside, it must guarantee...

Georgian London evokes images of elegant mannered buildings, but it was also a city where prostitution was rife and houses of ill repute widespread in a sex trade that employed thousands.
In London's Sinful Secret, Dan Cruickshank explores this erotic Georgian underworld and shows how it affected almost every aspect of life and culture in the city from the smart new streets that sprang up in Marylebone, to the squalid alleys around Charing Cross,...

El 9 de abril de 1948 partió en dos el siglo xx colombiano.
Ese día, en hechos confusos (tan confusos que se ha aceptado la hipótesis más fácil, la del asesino solitario), fue asesinado Jorge Eliécer Gaitán.
