PRIETO GONZALEZ, José Manuel. Social security architects (as doctors): Feasibility or utopia?. Estud. demogr. urbanos [online]. 2017, vol.32, n.2, pp.379-413. ISSN 2448-6515.  https://doi.org/10.24201/edu.v32i2.1629.

The conditions of poverty and inequality that beset Mexico, well attested by recent studies, require us to rethink the priority assessment that should be made by guilds of professionals such as the architects – thus, encouraging the social commitment of its members, especially in relation to urban peripheries and the informal city. What is outlined through this paper is the possibility that Mexico may have a public service squad of architects mainly at the service of the most disadvantaged social groups. Given the circumstances, such a proposal should not even be seen in terms of choice since it should be a moral obligation.
