A Century of Change for Latin American Metropolises, 18301930
b'\\u201cThe metropolis is not just the city; it\\u2019s the mother city. It has a fundamental role in defining the history of these countries that we discussed in the book.\\u201d\\n\\n\\n\\nThe period between 1830 and 1930 was one of global change, particularly in Latin America. Emerging from Spanish and Portuguese colonial rule at the start of the century, cities from Buenos Aires to Havana faced explosive population growth and rapid modernization, which reshaped the urban landscape and sociopolitical structures. These changes were captured triumphantly in photographs and film, planning maps, and theoretical treatises. However, the poor or disadvantaged were often erased from these records, and were often physically relocated to the outskirts of the urban core, reducing their visibility in cities.\\n\\n\\n\\nIn this episode, Getty Research Institute curators Idurre Alonso and Maristella Casciato discuss this consequential century of development for Latin American cities. Their research into this topic formed the basis of a 2017\\u201318 exhibition at the GRI titled\\xa0The Metropolis in Latin America, 1830\\u20131930. The exhibition\\u2019s materials, most held in the GRI\\u2019s collections, have been expanded in the recent Getty Publications volume\\xa0The Metropolis in Latin America, 1830\\u20131930: Cityscapes, Photographs, Debates, edited by Alonso and Casciato.\\n\\n\\n\\nFor images, transcripts, and more, visit https://blogs.getty.edu/iris/podcast-a-century-of-change-for-latin-american-metropolises-1830-1930/ or http://www.getty.edu/podcasts/\\n\\n\\n\\nTo explore the exhibition The Metropolis in Latin America, 1830\\u20131930, visit https://www.getty.edu/research/exhibitions_events/exhibitions/metropolis/index.html\\n\\n\\n\\nTo buy the book The Metropolis in Latin America, 1830\\u20131930: Cityscapes, Photographs, Debates, visit, https://shop.getty.edu/products/fluxus-means-change-jean-brown-s-avant-garde-archive-978-1606066621'
