Architecture and Politics addresses a key issue in contemporary architecture: its responsibility to society. Over the course of five chapters, the essays in this book examine the social role that architects and planners have played in history and up through the current era of globalization. With its focus on issues such as community life, participation, gender equality, and sustainability, Architecture and Politics establishes both contemporary vulnerabilities and alternatives that have already been tried. Arquitectura y política afronta una cuestión clave de la arquitectura contemporánea: su responsabilidad en relación a la sociedad. Para ello, a partir de una recopilación de textos agrupados en cinco capítulos ?Historias, Mundos, Metrópolis, Vulnerabilidades y Alternativas? la obra lleva a cabo un recorrido histórico que narra el papel social de los arquitectos y los urbanistas hasta la actual era de la globalización. A partir de temas como la vida comunitaria, la participación, la igualdad de género y la sostenibilidad, este libro establece tanto las vulnerabilidades contemporáneas como aquellas alternativas ya experimentadas, de ahí su subtítulo Ensayos para mundos alternativos.
