If These Walls Could Talk: Urban Cultural Patrimony and Spatialized Social Exclusion in the Colonial Centro Historic of Campeche

• Author / Creator

• The construction of colonial cities manifests itself as a Eurocentric projection onto the spatial and human environment of the Americas. The built environment was expressly designed to serve the colonial hegemony, each feature with a purpose and signification. The Historical Center of the city of Campeche, conserved as a World Heritage Site, provides us with a living testimony of this colonial construction of urban space. Through an analysis that parallels the city’s legitimized historical narrative with the design features, monuments, and policy that produces its urban space, this work offers the beginnings of an understanding of the ways Campeche’s urban cultural patrimony is lived today.
