Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La expresión "ciudad latinoamericana" remite hoy con exclusividad a las grandes metrópolis que crecen sin control, escenarios amenazantes de violencia e inseguridad. Este libro reconstruye, en cambio, una historia fulgurante en la que la "ciudad latinoamericana" imantó el pensamiento y la acción, como punto de cruce entre los lenguajes de las ciencias sociales en su momento más experimental, los proyectos planificadores y la imaginación política. De 1940 a 1980 esa figura dio lugar a una "internacional latinoamericana" de increíble potencia, conformada por intelectuales, expertos, instituciones y Estados para quienes estudiar el territorio urbano era el paso indispensable para la transformación regional. A partir de una investigación tan inspirada como ambiciosa, que lo llevó de los archivos europeos y norteamericanos a un recorrido por esa "ciudad latinoamericana" móvil, que se desplaza de La Habana a Santiago de Chile, de Lima a Buenos Aires y Río de Janeiro, de Puerto Rico a San Pablo, de Brasilia a México, de Caracas a Bogotá, Adrián Gorelik traza el ciclo histórico de esa figura, que tiene dos momentos. El primero, hasta fines de los sesenta, está atravesado por el entusiasmo modernizador, con la creencia de que las ciudades son la puerta a ideas y estilos de vida que van a liberar a América Latina de las cadenas del tradicionalismo y el subdesarrollo. Pero a medida que el optimismo reformista cae, el segundo momento mira las ciudades con otra óptica: bajo la clave de la dependencia, empieza a identificarlas con la reproducción de un orden injusto que solo la revolución –venida de aquel polo antagónico, el campo– podrá cambiar. Ambos momentos están marcados por la presencia dominante de los Estados Unidos y la incidencia de sus figuras, ideas e instituciones, en un contexto en el que la Guerra Fría redefine el campo académico-intelectual y el político. Colocando a la ciudad en el centro de la dinámica intelectual, Adrián Gorelik produce una nueva mirada sobre el período en el que con mayor fervor llegó a formularse la idea de Latinoamérica como proyecto, sea en versión desarrollista o revolucionaria. Y, en la senda de grandes clásicos como Richard Morse, José Luis Romero o Ángel Rama, a quienes dedica los últimos capítulos, lo hace desde un prisma original, que funda un campo de exploración y da nueva inteligibilidad a una época.

This book was released on 2022-07-19 with total page 669 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook presents the great contemporary challenges facing cities and urban spaces in Latin America and the Caribbean. The content of this multidisciplinary book is organized into four large sections focusing on the histories and trajectories of urban spatial development, inequality and displacement of urban populations, contemporary debates on urban policies, and the future of the city in this region. Scholars of diverse origins and specializations analyze Latin American and Caribbean cities showing that, despite their diversity, they share many characteristics and challenges and that there is value in systematizing this knowledge to both understand and explain them better and to promote increasing equity and sustainability. The contributions in this handbook enhance the theoretical, empirical and methodological study of urbanization processes and urban policies of Latin America and the Caribbean in a global context, making it an important reference for scholars across the world. The book is designed to meet the interdisciplinary study and consultation needs of undergraduate and graduate students of architecture, urban design, urban planning, sociology, anthropology, political science, public administration, and more.

This book was released on 2016-03-14 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much has been written about globalization as an economic and political concept. The academic debate looks forward for explanations about the historical roots and development of this emerging phenomenon where the Nation-State’s evolved into a system where nations are ruled by the dynamics of global interdependence. Globalization in the new era is characterized as a process where geographical, political and cultural borders tend to dissolve. The Westphalia notion of sovereignty capitulates against the principle of political subordination as integration of local power ensuring national legitimacy.

Book excerpt: The Latin American and Caribbean Regional Plan of Action on Human Settlements was agreed at the Latin American and Caribbean Regional Preparatory Meeting to the United Nations Conference on Human Settlements (Habitat II) in 1995. It was considered that the Plan seems to remain fully valid in its aim of achieving sustainable progress in human settlements by integrating a variety of development dimensions. It was, though, felt that the plans effectiveness was limited due to inherent vagueness. The current text elaborates and attempts to clarify the 5 main thematic areas that the Regional Plan of Action identified. Those 5 areas can be summarised as follows: obstacles posed by poverty; the necessity for human settlements to become more productive; concern for the urban environment and vulnerability; the need to consolidate governance; and the need to enhance the efficiency of housing sector policies

Download or read book Uncertain Regional Urbanism in Venezuela written by Fabio Capra Ribeiro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-02 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uncertain Regional Urbanism in Venezuela explores the changes cities face when they become metropolises, forming expanding regions which create both potential and problems within settlements. To do so, it focuses on three metropolitan areas located in Venezuela’s Center-North region: Caracas, Maracay and Valencia, designated as "Camava." Considering three core topics, government and territorial administration, infrastructure and environment, as well as looking at the reciprocal impact, this book describes and analyzes the determinant variables that characterize the phenomenon of regional urbanization in this area and in the wider Global South. It includes documentary research, semi-structured interviews and Delphi methodology, involving a total of forty experts from different disciplines to build a comprehensive outlook on the situation. This book presents a broader understanding of the region to encourage a more sustainable and knowledge-based development plan, moving away from the exploitation of natural resources, with six future-oriented scenarios to consider. This is a much-needed study in the urban regions of Venezuela, which will be of interest to academics and researchers in Latin American studies, the Global South, architecture and planning.

Download or read book Neoliberalism and Urban Development in Latin America written by Camillo Boano and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-08-15 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1970s and following on from the deposition of Salvador Allende, the Chilean dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet installed a radical political and economic system by force which lent heavy privilege to free market capitalism, reduced the power of the state to its minimum and actively suppressed civil society. Chicago economist Milton Friedman was heavily involved in developing this model, and it would be hard to think of a clearer case where ideology has shaped a country over such a long period. That ideology is still very much with us today and has come to be defined as neoliberalism. This book charts the process as it developed in the Chilean capital Santiago and involves a series of case studies and reflections on the city as a neoliberal construct. The variegated, technocratic and post-authoritarian aspects of the neoliberal turn in Chile serve as a cultural and political milieu. Through the work of urban scholars, architects, activists and artists, a cacophony of voices assemble to illustrate the existing neoliberal urbanism of Santiago and its irreducible tension between polis and civitas in the specific context of omnipresent neoliberalism. Chapters explore multiple aspects of the neoliberal delirium of Santiago: observing the antagonists of this scheme; reviewing the insurgent emergence of alternative and contested practices; and suggesting ways forward in a potential post-neoliberal city. Refusing an essentialist call, Neoliberalism and Urban Development in Latin America offers an alternative understanding of the urban conditions of Santiago. It will be essential reading to students of urban development, neoliberalism and urban theory, and well as architects, urban planners, geographers, anthropologists, economists, philosophers and sociologists.

Download or read book Modernization, Urbanization and Development in Latin America, 1900s - 2000s written by Arturo Almandoz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-10-10 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book Arturo Almandoz places the major episodes of Latin America’s twentieth and early twenty-first century urban history within the changing relationship between industrialization and urbanization, modernization and development. This relationship began in the early twentieth century, when industrialization and urbanization became significant in the region, and ends at the beginning of the twenty-first century, when new tensions between liberal globalization and populist nationalism challenge development in the subcontinent, much of which is still poverty stricken. Latin America’s twentieth-century modernization and development are closely related to nineteenth-century ideals of progress and civilization, and for this reason Almandoz opens with a brief review of that legacy for the different countries that are the focus of his book – Mexico, Chile, Brazil, Argentina and Venezuela – but with references to others. He then explores the regional distortions, which resulted from the interaction between industrialization and urbanization, and how the imbalance between urbanization and the productive system helps to explain why ‘take-off’ was not followed by the ‘drive to maturity’ in Latin American countries. He suggests that the close yet troublesome relationship with the United States, the recurrence of dictatorships and autocratic regimes, and Marxist influences in many domains, are all factors that explain Latin America’s stagnation and underdevelopment up to the so-called ‘lost decade’ of 1980s. He shows how Latin America’s fate changed in the late twentieth and early twenty-first century, when neoliberal programmes, political compromise and constitutional reform dismantled the traditional model of the corporate state and centralized planning. He reveals how economic growth and social improvements have been attained by politically left-wing yet economically open-market countries while others have resumed populism and state intervention. All these trends make up the complex scenario for the new century – especially when considered against the background of vibrant metropolises that are the main actors in the book.
