註釋This work is a survey of the urban history in viceregal Mexico chronicling the creation and development of Puebla de los Ángeles through the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. Puebla de los Ángeles was the second most important city in viceregal Mexico during this period and was an outstanding artistic and cultural centre. Using architecture and urbanism as a method for delving into the sophisticated social, political and cultural factors that shaped Puebla de los Ángeles's society, these themes are closely interwoven with important social and cultural issues such as the rise of Humanism in the city, religious festivities, environmental stewardship, racial and ethnic relations, as well as the history of science, amongst others.Written for a diverse audience, both knowledgeable in the subject or approaching it for the first time, Urbanism in Viceregal Mexico fills an important gap concerning urban biographies in the exciting field of colonial Mexico.
