URBAN LAB:
This laboratory based in Chicago created a web site on the representation of various data on the metropolis of Chicago. What would be the use of such a tool in Guadalajara? Who would be able to create and maintain the information in the case of Guadalajara?

A thesis :

"La urbanización de grandes ejes metropolitanos. Un proyecto de ordenación para la ciudad de baja densidad, Guadalajara, México" by Maria Elena de la Torre Escoto

With a rich iconography, this thesis is a very interesting resource to understand how to map the city of Guadalajara, and a thoughtful document on the urban history of this mexican metropolis.
