Summary
The book presents for the first time a study on the history of children's games in our country. In addition to a recount of the origins of children's urban furniture in Europe and the United States, this book offers an extensive review of the contact points between playgrounds and the national socio-political context: its close relationship with the post-revolutionary nation project, as well as with the modern movement of plastic integration, in which architects, designers, and artists worked together to conceive urban spaces that served as the starting point for a better society. This publication, which opens the collection "México Moderno), directed by Inbal Miller Gurfinkel, is also an archive that brings together invaluable bibliographic and illustrated material for the history of Mexican art and design.
