Abstract
How can 21st century cities respond to the challenges of massive urbanization and the dramatic cycles of boom and bust that create abrupt gentrification and growing slums? How can urban growth escape the zero-sum game that turns zip codes into destiny and makes social mobility and integration more challenging and difficult? City Doctors is a Mega planning–based new methodology to transform cities that holds the promise of turning social and human capital into value-adding social performance. This article presents the fundamental concepts and framework for this new approach and reviews the results of City Doctors as applied in the description of four massive, long-term experiences in Argentina, Mexico, and Panama.
