Abstract: "A very significant contribution to the knowledge of a pioneer in the transition in the architecture and urbanism to modern Mexico: architect Alfonso Pallares del Portillo (b. Mexico 1876). Dr. Drago presents a singularly close examination of her subject, presenting him from different perspectives." --Page 11. The author studied in detail his contributions as a constant formulator of urban proposals, characterized by their innovative nature and his daring and controversial character who constantly questioned urban development and policies especially in the city of Mexico during the first half of the 20th century.
