The Urban Center, Monumental and Archaeological Heritage of Tepeaca De Negrete, Puebla Mexico in the Face of the Loss of the Landscape and the Values of the Whole

The city of Tepeaca de Negrete, in the Mexican state of Puebla, is a site with numerous publications, despite the existence of several studies that have emphasized its history and archaeology from different periods, primarily the Toltec-Chichimec era and data on viceregal architecture and urban planning. However, the central problem is the need to protect a fundamental aspect of the site, which is currently undergoing degradation of its cultural and natural landscape problem applicable to all urban and rural areas. The objective is to highlight the importance of conserving the often-overlooked aspects of this site, as studies generally focus on the historical, aesthetic, or religious aspects of the monuments rather than their broader contribution to the cultural and natural landscape. The findings will provide new tools for understanding this broad topic, applicable to any town or city. The methodology is based on observation of the site's various conditions, as well as on studies in other contexts that provide arguments for its application to this topic. The conclusions will offer arguments for understanding the importance of this issue in all settlements.
