AOA Magazine Nº 34, April 2017, pp.16-23. 3 Romero defined the mass as “that heterogeneous group, marginally situated next to a normalized society, against which it presented itself as an anomic entity. It was an urban complex, although urbanized in different measures, since it was formed by historically urban population and people of rural extraction that started to become urban. But very soon his physiognomy was decidedly urban and so was its behavior: it constituted a congregated and compact society that, in each city, was opposed to the other congregated and compact society that already existed. Thus, the whole of urban society was presented as a split society ... “. Romero, José Luis. Latinoamérica: las ciudades y las ideas. México, D. F. Siglo Veintiuno Editores, 1976, pp.336. 4 Ibid. 5 Romero further advanced the categorization of the historical phenomenon by placing it in the shared space of the urban environment, also showing it as a characteristic of the instability of Latin American societies: “It was clear that the masses did not want to destroy the structure to which it had been thrown into; on the contrary, it had absolute respect for it, as well as for the principles on which it was based; that its plan was not to modify it substantially, as certain entrenched and dissenting groups of traditional society believed, but simply to accept it as it was and to correct it only as necessary to open 7 ”There are several state policies that contributed to the dissemination of small urban property: subsidized loan lines (non-indexed monthly payments) in the official banks, a subsidized tariff policy in nationalized public transportation and, finally, a paradoxical situation regarding the control of urban development: on the one hand, the increasing presence of the state in economic and social development in general (manifested, among other things, by the maintenance of rent control established in 1943) and, on the other hand, a real laissez-faire policy in relation to the control of land use (both in relation to residential use -central and peripheral- and in relation to industrial sites)“.Torres, cit.

It was divided volumetrically in three parts: the block of the typical floors, a unit formed by the ground floor and a mezzanine, and an ending that covers the set-back floor and installations. Each of these elements has its own character, but the relations between the block of typical floors with the other two illustrates the dominant role assigned to the first”.
