In the year 2015, we set out to develop a historical and geographical atlas of theArgentine Republic that would cover not only the traditional topics that can befound in an atlas but also new concepts that increasingly have a greater impact in theacademic field and also in the public in general.The basis of this proposal, and withoutbeing the only one, is the study of quality of life from an interdisciplinary perspective.It is a subject that has been analyzed since the early 1990s.
