During the last decade; the South American continent has seen a strong push for transnational integration; initiated by the former Brazilian president Fernando Henrique Cardoso; who (with the endorsement of eleven other nations) spearheaded the Initiative for the Integration of Regional Infrastructure in South America (IIRSA); a comprehensive energy; transport; and communications network. The most aggressive transcontinental integration project ever planned for South America; the initiative systematically deploys ten east-west infrastructural corridors; enhancing economic development but raising important questions about the polarizing effect of pitting regional needs against the colossal processes of resource extraction. Providing much-needed historical contextualization to IIRSAs agenda; Beyond the City ties together a series of spatial models and offers a survey of regional strategies in five case studies of often overlooked sites built outside the traditional South American urban constructs.Implementing the term "resource extraction urbanism;" the architect and urbanist Felipe Correa takes us from Brazils nineteenth-century regional capital city of Belo Horizonte to the experimental; circular; "temporary" city of Vila Piloto in Trecirc;s Lagoas. In Chile; he surveys the mining town of Mariacute;a Elena. In Venezuela; he explores petrochemical encampments at Judibana and El Tablazo; as well as new industrial frontiers at Ciudad Guayana. The result is both a cautionary tale; bringing to light a history of societies that were "inscribed" and administered; and a perceptive examination of the agency of architecture and urban planning in shaping South American lives.
