Original, action-oriented humanist practices for interpreting and intervening in the city: a new methodology at the intersection of the humanities, design, and urban studies. Urban humanities is an emerging field at the intersection of the humanities, urban planning, and design. It offers a new approach not only for understanding cities in a global context but for intervening in them, interpreting their histories, engaging with them in the present, and speculating about their futures. This book introduces both the theory and practice of urban humanities, tracing the evolution of the concept, presenting methods and practices with a wide range of research applications, describing changes in teaching and curricula, and offering case studies of urban humanities practices in the field. Urban humanities views the city through a lens of spatial justice, and its inquiries are centered on the microsettings of everyday life. The book's case studies report on real-world projects in mega-cities in the Pacific Rim—Tokyo, Shanghai, Mexico City, and Los Angeles—with several projects described in detail, including playful spaces for children in car-oriented Mexico City, a commons in a Tokyo neighborhood, and a rolling story-telling box to promote “literary justice” in Los Angeles.

La novela sugestiva (1930-1931) forma parte de las numerosísimas colecciones de novela corta que enriquecieron el panorama literario español de la primera mitad del siglo XX. Pertenece, además, a ese subgrupo de novela erótica o sicalíptica que, por su temática risqué, murió con la dictadura franquista. La colección La novela sugestiva es un breviario del "sexo de nuestros abuelos", parafraseando el título de Amando de Miguel. Nos cuenta, más que nada, cuáles eran las obsesiones de aquel entonces, entre ellas y en su lado más frívolo, las pantorrillas femeninas, la parte anatómica que más se resalta. Pero no todo son pantorrillas y brazos torneados, no todo son pechos marmóreos y muslos de nieve. Importan tanto o más los variopintos lugares del placer, así como los tipos masculinos y, sobre todo, porque ganan a éstos en complejidad e interés, los tipos femeninos. Por las páginas de La novela sugestiva se pasean cupletistas y cabareteras, cocotas y mantenidas, Lolitas impúberes y jamonas suculentas. Hay condesas, marquesas, campesinas, señoritas provincianas, pequeño burguesas y burguesas de alto postín. Muchas, además (o en vez) de vender sus encantos, trabajan en otra cosa, y son doncellas, modistillas o taquimecas. Y todas aman, furiosa o lánguidamente, pero siempre con cierta inocencia, y con perfecta inconsciencia. En La novela sugestiva el amor nunca es peligroso. El fantasma de la sífilis, tan presente y temido, "sólo existe en la realidad, en los volúmenes médicos y en los manuales de sexología"
