A través de tres figuras creativas y relevantes, aunque no siempre bien conocidas, de tres imágenes y de tres ideas arquitectónicas planteadas por ellas pensando en el futuro urbano, se desarrollan en este escrito unas notas o apuntes que quieren ser útiles hoy, aunque permanezcan en los márgenes del imaginario urbano contemporáneo dominante. A pesar de sus limitaciones coyunturales, Bel Geddes, Fuller y Kurokawa siguen ofreciendo una reflexión valiosa sobre la relación entre la ciudad y su medio y, a la vez, sobre la ciudad-artefacto como medio. Si dichas propuestas pueden parecen exageradas, ello se debe a las condiciones históricas de un futuro que cuando se define quizás envejece. Pero no son proyectos utópicos, se plantean en contextos precisos y se consideran viables, confiando en la capacidad de la ciencia y de la tecnología para mejorar el hábitat del hombre.Through three creative and important figures, perhaps not well known, trough three images and three architectural ideas raised by them for thinking the urban future, this writing develops some notes useful nowadays, in spite of they remain in the edges of the contemporary dominant urban imaginary. Despite its occasional constraints, Bel Geddes, Fuller and Kurokawa still offer a valuable reflection on the relationship between the city and its environment and, at the same time, about the man-made city as a medium. If these proposals could be seen excessive, this is due to the historical restrictions of a future when defined, gets older. But them are not utopian projects, are raised in precise contexts and are considered viable, trustful in the ability of science and technology for improving the habitat of man.

This article focuses on the process of the design of airports and how in particular the urban context has shaped their specific histories. Far from being merely pure technical or functional equipment, they have been mirrors for contemporary expectations, just as they informed the modern urban imaginary. According to this perspective, an urban history of airports can be traced from the first aerodromes dedicated to large urban publics to the development of spectacular airports driven by the massive recent routinization of air transport so intricately bound up with globalization. Based on research on specific cases of the design and building of New York and Paris airports, this article aims to resist the temptations to dehistoricize the airport topic, and to introduce a narrative mode of thinking about these specific and concrete spaces.

ResumenEs innegable la importancia y la fuerza que el estudio de los imaginarios urbanosha cobrado en los últimos años en las disciplinas espaciales, incluyendola sociología urbana. Este trabajo analiza el origen, los significados y lasconsecuencias de uno de los imaginarios urbanos más latentes y poderososen las ciudades latinoamericanas: el imaginario del miedo, el cual, con sumezcla de violencia real y percepción subjetiva de la sociedad, se ha convertidoen la forma de habitar de la ciudad contemporánea latinoamericana, volviéndolaun espacio de miedo e inseguridad, situación potencializada por elmercado inmobiliario y los medios de comunicación. Este trabajo toma comocasos de estudio las ciudades de Salvador de Bahía, en Brasil, y Monterrey, enMéxico, para analizar las manifestaciones sociales y urbanísticas de este imaginario,encontrando que el imaginario del miedo no es solamente un miedoa la violencia e inseguridad, sino también a mezclarse con el otro, una negaciónde la heterogeneidad, la diversidad y la sociabilidad que siempre hancaracterizado a las ciudades, provocando así manifestaciones de aislamientoy segregación arquitectónicas, que hacen cada vez más difícil alcanzar unconcepto de sustentabilidad urbana real.Palabras clave: imaginarios sociales, miedo, segregación, América Latina. The Latin-American urban imaginary of fear:evidence from studies in Salvador, Brazil, andMonterrey, MexicoAbstractThe importance and strength that the study of urban imaginary has gainedin recent years in space disciplines is undeniable, including urban sociology.This paper analyzes the origin, meaning and consequences of one ofthe most latent and powerful urban imaginary in Latin American cities:the imagination of fear, which, with a mix of real violence and subjectiveperception of society, has become the way of living of Latin American contemporarycity, as a place of fear and insecurity, a situation potentiated bythe housing market and the media. This work takes cities of Salvador deBahia in Brazil and Monterrey, Mexico, as case studies to analyze social andurban manifestations of this imaginary, finding that the imaginary of fear isnot just about violence and insecurity but also about relating with others,a denial of heterogeneity, diversity and sociability that have always characterizedthe cities, causing manifestations of insulation and architecturalsegregation. This makes that reaching a concept of real urban sustainabilityis increasingly difficult.Keywords: social imaginary, fear, segregation, Latin America.O imaginário urbano do medo na América Latina:evidências de estudos em Salvador de Bahía,Brasil e Monterrey, MéxicoResumoÉ inegável a importância e força que o estudo dos imaginários urbanos temganhado nos últimos anos nas disciplinas espaciais, incluindo a sociologiaurbana.

Este trabalho temcomo estudos de caso as cidades de Salvador de Bahia, no Brasil, e Monterrey,no México, para analisar manifestações sociais e urbanas deste imaginário,encontrando que o imaginário do medo não é apenas um medo deviolência e insegurança, mas também, se misturar com outro, uma negaçãoda heterogeneidade, a diversidade e sociabilidade que sempre tem caracterizadoas cidades, causando manifestações de isolamento e segregação daarquitetura, o que torna cada vez mais difícil de lograr um conceito de sustentabilidadeurbano real.Palavras – chave: imaginários sociais, medo, segregação, América Latina.
