Constructing Mexico City: Colonial Conflicts over Culture, Space, and Authority examines the spatial, material, and cultural dimensions of life in eighteenth-century Mexico City, through programs that colonial leaders created to renovate and reshape urban environments.

In an effort to understand the reasons for and consequences of the political backlash to the U.S. Supreme Court decision, Kelo v. New London, this book brings together a diverse group of scholars and practitioners who explore the uses and abuses of eminent domain and regulatory takings. Two authors propose additional constraints on eminent-domain powers, one chapter considers compensation determination theoretically, another describes compensation determination in practice, three authors explore the politics of takings including post-Kelo legislation, four chapters examine unintended consequences of takings, and the concluding chapter explains the inherent political instability and economic inefficiency resulting from land-use regulation.
