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.

Book excerpt: En toda la historia de la humanidad ningún país del mundo ha fundado tantos pueblos, villas y ciudades en un territorio tan grande, en un período de tiempo tan corto, y en una forma tan regular y ordenada como lo hizo España en América durante los siglos XVI y XVII.La ciudad ordenada colonial hispanoamericana fue la gran creación y legado cultural urbano español en el Nuevo Continente, materializada en un modelo urbano caracterizado por su forma general reticular, desarrollado siempre partiendo del trazado de una plaza mayor o central dispuesta a cordel y regla, de la cual paulatinamente fueron saliendo calles trazadas en línea recta, formando una trama urbana en manzanas o cuadras generalmente iguales, como un damero, tal y como todavía hoy se aprecia en todos los centros o cascos históricos de los pueblos y ciudades latinoamericanas.Estas conferencias tienen por objeto, precisamente, tratar de explicar el origen de esa forma urbana ortogonal y de cómo la misma se implantó con una regularidad, formalidad y continuidad pasmosas en el vasto continente americano, desde la Nueva España (México) y la Florida en el Norte, hasta el extremo Sur en Chile y el Río de la Plata.La ciudad ordenada colonial hispanoamericana fue la gran creación y legado cultural urbano español en el Nuevo Continente, materializada en un modelo urbano caracterizado por su forma general reticular, desarrollado siempre partiendo del trazado de una plaza mayor o central dispuesta a cordel y regla, de la cual paulatinamente fueron saliendo calles trazadas en línea recta, formando una trama urbana en manzanas o cuadras generalmente iguales, como un damero, tal y como todavía hoy se aprecia en todos los centros o cascos históricos de los pueblos y ciudades latinoamericanas.Estas conferencias tienen por objeto, precisamente, tratar de explicar el origen de esa forma urbana ortogonal y de cómo la misma se implantó con una regularidad, formalidad y continuidad pasmosas en el vasto continente americano, desde la Nueva España (México) y la Florida en el Norte, hasta el extremo Sur en Chile y el Río de la Plata.Estas conferencias tienen por objeto, precisamente, tratar de explicar el origen de esa forma urbana ortogonal y de cómo la misma se implantó con una regularidad, formalidad y continuidad pasmosas en el vasto continente americano, desde la Nueva España (México) y la Florida en el Norte, hasta el extremo Sur en Chile y el Río de la Plata.

Download or read book A Historical Archaeology of Early Spanish Colonial Urbanism in Central America written by William R. Fowler and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2022-01-04 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this milestone work, William Fowler uses archaeology, history, and social theory to show that the establishment of cities was essential to Spanish colonialism. Fowler draws upon decades of archaeological research on the landscape, built environment, and architecture of Ciudad Vieja, a sixteenth-century site located in present-day El Salvador and the best-preserved Spanish colonial city in Latin America. Fowler compares Ciudad Vieja to other urban sites in the region and to the tradition of urbanism in early modern Spain to determine how the Spanish grid-plan layout was modified and implemented in the Americas. Using extensive archival material, Fowler describes how this layout reflected and perpetuated power structures that benefited the Spanish although the city’s Indigenous population was greater in number. Fowler analyzes recorded interactions between colonists, Indigenous peoples, and enslaved Africans to demonstrate the ways the cityscape affected the relationships among individuals and cultural groups. Offering an unparalleled view into a critical moment in Latin American history, this book offers new ways of looking at urbanism and colonialism as intertwined forces in the emergence of the early modern world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines the unprecedented growth of several cities in Latin America from 1830 to 1930, observing how sociopolitical changes and upheavals created the conditions for the birth of the metropolis. In the century between 1830 and 1930, following independence from Spain and Portugal, major cities in Latin America experienced large-scale growth, with the development of a new urban bourgeois elite interested in projects of modernization and rapid industrialization. At the same time, the lower classes were eradicated from old city districts and deported to the outskirts. The Metropolis in Latin America, 1830–1930 surveys this expansion, focusing on six capital cities—Havana, Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Santiago de Chile, and Lima—as it examines sociopolitical histories, town planning, art and architecture, photography, and film in relation to the metropolis. Drawing from the Getty Research Institute’s vast collection of books, prints, and photographs from this period, largely unpublished until now, this volume reveals the cities’ changes through urban panoramas, plans depicting new neighborhoods, and photographs of novel transportation systems, public amenities, civic spaces, and more. It illustrates the transformation of colonial cities into the monumental modern metropolises that, by the end of the 1920s, provided fertile ground for the emergence of today’s Latin American megalopolis.

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 315 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.

Download or read book Manual de Urbanismo (Bogota, 1939) written by Karl Brunner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-09-25 with total page 571 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike European countries where the consolidation of town planning was based on legislative reforms, Latin America’s urbanismo mainly stemmed from urban plans for national capitals and metropolises. Austrian academic and planner Karl Brunner was hired in Chile, Colombia and Panama from the late 1920s to advise in the professional and academic domains, marking a shift from the so-called École Française d’Urbanisme (EFU) of Haussmannesque descent towards the Austrian-German Städtebau, While coordinating the municipal office and plan for Bogotá, Brunner translated his Manual de Urbanismo – the first textbook published in Latin America about the new discipline and the first to incorporate examples from local cities. Based on his 1924 course at Vienna’s National Faculty of Architecture Brunner’s Manual emphasized the ‘scientific system’ of the discipline. Brunner was the most influential figure of his time in the urban planning of the region, but has become overshadowed by Le Corbusier's and CIAM’s prevailing influence after the Second World War. Complete with a supporting introduction written by Arturo Almandoz, this volume includes the full copy of the original Manual de Urbanismo with an English translation of the synthesis. Further materials, including an extract of Karl Brunner's "Problemas actuales de urbanización" and an accompanying English translation of the text can be accessed at www.routledge.com/9781138778573
