Overview

Take a street-level tour of Mexico's capital and learn how one of the world's most extraordinary cities has transformed over the centuries.

Walking a City shistory is both a richly documented panoramic view of Mexico City's long history and an intimate essay on its social and cultural fabric. In this book, Mauricio Tenorio-Trillo uses his expertise as a historian and his talents as a storyteller to bring the city to life.

Using influential moments in Mexico City's history from the Battle of Tenochtitlán in 1521 to post-COVID times, Tenorio-Trillo illustrates the capital's transformations against a national and global background. Walking a City's History offers an original, unique perspective on the social, architectural, artistic, and political dimensions of Mexico City, guided by chronicles, literary works, historical accounts, and the author s own lifetime of walks through the city.
