New link: CIUDAD research center

A new link is available as a result of a recent cooperation agreement between two Ecuadorian institutions, Red EcoSur and Ciudad. Ciudad has been active in the area of urban investigation, social projects and sociological investigations for more than 28 years and enjoys national and international prestige. In fact it is an intellectual reference for the country. From time to time EcoSouth will publish certain information directly in this WebSite.
However, the Ciudad Site is always available through www.ciudad.org.ec
