It would be interesting to know what was measured, how, where and when. Based on partial personal lived experience and lots of additional impressions (no doubt biased through filters and preselective social bubbles at distance), I find Mexico above Australia, UK or Germany surprising.

Siguen los de #Kanasin y #Komchen brevemente

Entregamos los resultados del programa Haciendo el #PaisajeUrbano de #Merida Viable por la comisaría de #Caucel para una vida #urbana #socioecologica

First analyses of our day in #Kanasin #Yucatan working on #urbanmorphology #vernaculararchitecture #landscape #urbanism #urbanecology and #urban #heritage for #sustainable #planning taking cue from #Maya #traditions & #adaptation. Some areas still show characteristics of productive #solares #huertos

Hoy estamos trabajando en la #ciudad de #Kanasin #Yucatán con un apoyo significante del equipo del #ayuntamiento y muy buenas aportaciones de la población. Vamos hacia buenos resultados para la #planeacion #sostenible!

Today, meeting the #comisaria de #Komchen a growing town north of #Merida. Three teams working on the #mapping and sampling of #urbanfabric from edge to edge, a team on #urban #ethnography and #vernaculararchitecture and a team on #publicparticipation with interviews. Working on #sustainableplanning

Fieldwork days with the Haciendo el #PaisajeUrbano de #Mérida Viable team. We're in Mérida #Yucatan for the #charrette on #sustainable #urban #planming and #design from a #landscapebased #landscapearchitecture and #naturebasedsolutions perspective informaled by #Maya #heritage & urban #archaeology .

Announcement of collaborative sustainable urban planning workshop in Mérida, Yucatán running from 18 to 28 June taking a multiscalar landscape-based approach informed by long-term indigenous Maya urban landuse patterns.

Extensive collaborative workshop taking a #landscapebased perspective on #sustainable #urbandevelopment of the #region of #Merida #Yucatan informed by the long history of #indigenous #Maya #urbanism and #vernacular #landuse. Focus on #Caucel #Komchen & #Kanasin with local partners in #urbanplanning

Precolonial Maya urbanism on the dry tropical karstic plains of northwest Yucatán. Often precolonial Maya urban landscapes are perceived as low density, however this changes perspective when considering the intensity of using and managing land resources within the urban built environment, maintaining productive and co-dependent relationships with the environment. Examples of vernacular architecture and cultivatable plots remain in satellite cities and the periurban landscape.

The historical urbanism based on urban form introduced with Spanish colonial occupation on the dry tropical karstic plains of northwest Yucatán (with examples of vernacular architectural appropriation in colonial times)

The historical city and colonial forms become adapted into cosmopolitan contemporary Mérida on the dry tropical karstic plains of northwestern Yucatán. New architectural forms are often inspired by colonial rather than indigenous practices, except for the reintroduction of local materials.

Short description of the week's programme.

Spent the week introducing northwestern Yucatan lowland #Maya agro-urban landscapes from #archaeology to current #urbanism to ULB #landscapearchitecture using #gis #hgis #urbandata #maps on the #builtenvironment focusing on #landuse patterns. Proud how far they've come. @ulbrecherche.bsky.social
