Rethinking Suburban Housing

This book documents an urban regeneration strategy for the Donceles neighborhood in Cancún. Conceived as a working-class community under a social housing scheme, Donceles is now isolated and forgotten by the city to which it theoretically belongs. It has a strong architectural identity based on self-construction, as well as a rich urban layout, with a privileged location and very affordable prices. All these conditions are ideal for experimenting with new housing development models, based on participatory schemes, inclusive projects, and a long-term vision of the city we want to have.
