Resumen
La bibliotecaria Theodora Kimball (1887-1935) contribuyó significativamente a la consolidación del urbanismo como nuevo ámbito disciplinar con el establecimiento de unos criterios de clasificación de la amalgama de conocimientos, conceptos, utillaje técnico y experiencias que surgieron en las tres primeras décadas del siglo XX. Se favorecía así la formación de una literatura específica que permitiera una mayor presencia del urbanismo tanto en los círculos académicos como en los ámbitos profesionales. Su trabajo, desarrollado en la Biblioteca de la Landscape Architecture School de la Universidad de Harvard, constituye uno de los principales nodos norteamericanos de las redes trasnacionales del urbanismo de su tiempo. Fue clave en ámbitos como la formación universitaria, la divulgación científica, la participación ciudadana, la irrupción del zoning como nueva herramienta de control del desarrollo urbano frente al city planning y el paso del landscape architecture al regional planning.
