(Un)sustainable Metropolises

Metrópoles (In)Sustentáveis, by Peruvian architect and urbanist Eduardo Neira Alva, presents a global vision of the complex and contradictory reality of Latin American metropolises. Published in 1997, the work also shows his main current concerns: unemployment, the lack of housing, pollution and violence. the author seeks to evoke a collective imaginary to construct the model of a city in which everyone would want to live.

The book is the result of a joint project by Odebrecht and the publisher Editora Relume-Dumará.
