Engaged Urban Pedagogy presents a participatoryapproach to teaching built environment subjects by exploring 12examples of real-world engagement in urban planning involvingpeople within and beyond the university. Starting with curriculumreview, course content is analysed in light of urban pasts, race,queer identity, lived experiences and concerns of urbanprofessionals. Case studies then shift to focus on techniques forparticipatory critical pedagogy, including expanding the'classroom' with links to live place-making processes, connectionsmade through digital co-design exercises and student-led podcastingassignments. Finally, the book turns to activities beyond formaluniversity teaching, such as where school-age children learn abouttheir own participation in urban processes alongside universitystudents and researchers. The last cases show how academics haveenabled co-production in local urban developments, trainedcommunity co-researchers and acted as part of a city-to-citylearning network. Throughout the book, editorial commentaryhighlights how these activities are a critical source of supportfor higher education.

Together, the 12 examples demonstrate the power and range of anengaged urban pedagogy. They are written by academics, universitystudents and those working in urban planning and place-making.Drawing on foundational works of critical pedagogy, they present adistinctly urban praxis that will help those in universitiesrespond to the built environment challenges of today.

Since its publication in Spanish in 1998, The Grid and the Park not only revitalized studies on the history of Buenos Aires, but also laid the foundation for a specific type of cultural work on the city -an urban perspective for cultural history, as its author would describe it- that has had a sustained impact in Latin America. Public space, embodied in the grid of city blocks and the park system, here appears as a particularly productive category because it encompasses dimensions of the material city, politics, and culture, which are usually studied separately. From Domingo Faustino Sarmiento's figurations of Palermo Park in the mid-nineteenth century to Jorge Luis Borges's discovery of the suburb in the 1920s; from the modernization of the traditional center carried out by Mayor Torcuato de Alvear in the 1880s to the questioning of that centrality by the emergence of the suburban barrio, the book weaves the changing ideas on public space with urban culture to produce a new history of the metropolitan expansion of Buenos Aires, one of the most extensive and dynamic urban centers of the early twentieth century.
