Sumario:This paper seeks to investigate and reconstruct the forced circulation of Cono Sur architecture and urbanism professionals to Mexico during the last civil-military dictatorships. Exile was a form of subsistence and resistance for professionals involved in the ousted governments and/or in various political-revolutionary organizations in the face of the repressive policies deployed in their countries. In Mexico, one of the main receiving countries -together with Venezuela, France, Spain and other European countries-, professionals with diverse backgrounds and experiences in public policies and work with residents' organizations in relation to popular habitat converged. The latter was presented in a context where the Mexican government sought to expand its policies of habitat improvement and regularization in popular neighborhoods, so that several of the exiles came to work and collaborate with public institutions. We seek to reflect on the role of exile in the survival and circulation of certain experiences and ideas to address the popular habitat, which had been generated in countries such as Chile, Uruguay and Argentina, in the late sixties and early seventies.
