Hidden in plain sight: design approaches to Midwestern Mexican-American landscapes
While increasing numbers of new immigrants from Mexico, recruited for meatpacking, food-processing, and light-manufacturing jobs, have been joining Mexican-origin people resident in the Midwest since the early twentieth century, both established and new Mexican-American communities remain virtually invisible to those shaping the built environment. To learn to “see” these Latina/o communities and make appropriate decisions regarding them, designers require information. This article provides descriptions of Mexican-American landscape types found in small cities across the region and discusses their landscape characteristics, constraints, and opportunities in various land uses, as well as their implications for work beyond these small Midwestern cities.
