This thesis is a research and architectural landscape proposal for the Ex Hacienda de Santa Mónica and its surroundings. The research work and architectural project are expressed in six chapters and a brief introduction to the subject of study. Chapter number 1, “Conceptual Foundations” is a compendium of useful concepts to understand and base the investigation of the historical landscape of the ExHacienda de Santa Mónica. Chapter 2, “Tlalnepantla / Teocalhueyacan Historic Site” is a historical review that explains the founding of the towns near the study site and the events that occurred before the arrival of the Spanish in Mexico. Chapter 3, "La Hacienda de Santa Mónica 16th to the 20th century" is a historical review that explains the foundation, evolution, expansion and decline of the former Hacienda de Santa Mónica, in the period between the 16th and 20th centuries. Chapter 4, “Current Site: Tlalnepantla / Hacienda de Santa Mónica” is the analysis of the current conditions of the study site, its environment and its context, both in the natural and artificial environments. In this chapter, the methodology of the three elements of the landscape was used, proposed by Master Félix Alfonso Martínez Sánchez, which is an adaptation of the methodology of Master Ian McHarg. Chapter 5 "Problems, potentialities, diagnosis and guidelines" is the landscape analysis of the site, which is based on the research and analysis carried out in the previous chapters. Its objective is to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the site, in order to provide solid guidelines for the realization of a landscape architectural project according to the current needs of the Ex Hacienda de Santa Mónica complex and its surroundings. Chapter 6 "Conclusions" is about the architectural landscape proposal designed for the Ex Hacienda de Santa Mónica complex and its surroundings, as a final result of the study. Concluding in a conceptual proposal, with enough elements to develop an executive project based on the plans, images and plant files developed within this chapter.

This paper seeks to characterize, analyze and diagnose the Teixeira Soares River basin based on the methodology of analysis and diagnosis proposed by Ian McHarg (1992). It is found that the region presents a weakening of rural communities, in addition to difficulty and instability in issues related to food production and environmental conservation. The form of production that was tried to be inserted may be interfering in the local landscape and causing a shortage of natural soil fertility and an imbalance in the fauna, flora, and water of the hydrographic basin. In the end, we understand the need to plan rural areas, as a way to relate all the aspects inserted in it, from the aspects related to the geobiophysical support to the anthropic ones. To enhance rural production and bring local society closer to the natural environment, guidelines are proposed for the qualification of the spaces that comprise the sub-basin.

Development pressures threatening northwestern Baltimore County, Maryland, in the early 1960s led to the creation of the private Valleys Planning Council, which commissioned University of Pennsylvania Professors Ian McHarg and David Wallace to produce The Plan for the Valleys, featuring McHarg’s approach of ecological determinism to locate development and preserve land, with Wallace designing the type and density of development. We analyze The Plan’s development and land protection elements and the County’s subsequent use of an urban growth boundary, agricultural zoning, and conservation easements. Although a catalyst for landscape protection, The Plan’s substantial development elements were never built.
