Download or read book Housing and Belonging in Latin America written by Christien Klaufus and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intricacies of living in contemporary Latin American cities include cases of both empowerment and restriction. In Lima, residents built their own homes and formed community organizations, while in Rio de Janeiro inhabitants of the favelas needed to be “pacified” in anticipation of international sporting events. Aspirations to “get ahead in life” abound in the region, but so do multiple limitations to realizing the dream of upward mobility. This volume captures the paradoxical histories and experiences of urban life in Latin America, offering new empirical and theoretical insights to scholars.

Key issues addressed include: policy, regulation and governance of street food and vendors; production and trade patterns ranging from informal subsistence to modern forms of enterprise; the key role played by female vendors; historical roots and cultural meanings of selling and eating food in the street; food safety and nutrition issues. Many chapters provide case studies from specific cities in different regions of the world. These include North America (Atlanta, Philadelphia, Portland, Toronto, Vancouver), Central and South America (Bogota, Buenos Aires, La Paz, Lima, Mexico City, Montevideo, Santiago, Salvador da Bahia), Asia (Bangkok, Dhaka, Penang), Africa (Accra, Abidjan, Bamako, Freetown, Mozambique) and Europe (Amsterdam).

Download or read book The Punitive City written by Markus-Michael Müller and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-06-15 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the eyes of the global media, modern Mexico has become synonymous with crime, violence and insecurity. But while media fascination and academic engagement has focussed on the drug war, an equally dangerous phenomenon has taken root. In The Punitive City, Markus-Michael Müller argues that what has emerged in Mexico is not just a punitive urban democracy, in which those at the social and political margins face growing violence and exclusion. More alarmingly, it would seem that clientelism in the region is morphing into a private, political protection racket. Vital reading for anyone seeking to understand the implications of a phenomenon that is becoming increasingly widespread across Latin America.

Download or read book Social Strategies Building the City written by Marielly Casanova and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2019-03 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social housing is a complex system integrated by social, economic, political and city making processes. Social practices in the called social production of the habitat provide clues to understand an alternative way to approach housing solutions in which several dimensions coexist. Through the rationalization of social (self-management), economic (social economy) and urban principles, it was possible the construction of typologies to document and evaluate 3 case studies in Latin America. This book provides a foundation for future research and conception of social housing policies and programs.

Download or read book The Andes written by Axel Borsdorf and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-03-12 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Andes are attracting global interest again: they hold valuable mineral resources, tourists appreciate their great natural beauty and the diversity of indigenous cultures, climbers scale rock and ice faces, while many others are intrigued by regional political developments, such as the Bolivarian revolution in Venezuela or the almost unfettered hegemony of the neoliberal economic model in Chile. This volume is the first attempt for decades to present a complete overview of the longest mountain chain on the planet – a region of remarkable climatic, floristic and geologic diversity, where advanced civilization developed well before the arrival of the Spanish. Today the Andes continue to be characterized by their ethnic, demographic, cultural and economic diversity, as well as by the disparity of local socioeconomic groups. The Andean countries pursue a wide range of approaches to tackle the challenges of making the best use of their natural and cultural potential without damaging their ecological basis, as well as to overcome economic disparity and foster social cohesion. This book provides insights into this unique region and its most pressing issues, complemented by a wealth of pictures and comprehensive diagrams, which, in sum, help to better understand these fascinating mountains.

Download or read book Decentralized Development in Latin America written by Paul Lindert and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-03-02 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of the scholarly and professional literature on development focuses either on the ‘macro’ level of national policies and politics or on the ‘micro’ level of devel- ment projects and household or community socio-economic dynamics. By contrast, this collection pitches itself at the ‘meso’ level with a comparative exploration of the ways in which local institutions – municipalities, local governments, city authorities, civil society networks and others – have demanded, and taken on, a greater role in planning and managing development in the Latin American region. The book’s rich empirical studies reveal that local institutions have engaged upwards, with central authorities, to shape their policy and resource environments and in turn, been pressured from ‘below’ by local actors contesting the ways in which the structures and processes of local governance are framed. The examples covered in this volume range from global cities, such as Mexico and Santiago, to remote rural areas of the Bolivian and Brazilian Amazon. As a result the book provides a deep understanding of the diversity and complexity of local governance and local development in Latin America, while avoiding the stereotyped claims about the impact of globalisation or the potential benefits of decentralisation, as frequently stated in less empirically grounded analysis.

Download or read book Gated Communities written by Rowland Atkinson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This informative volume gathers contemporary accounts of the growth, influences on, and impacts of so-called gated communities, developments with walls, gates, guards and other forms of surveillance. While gated communities have become a common feature of the urban landscape in South Africa, Latin and North America, it is also clear that there is now significant interest in gated living in the European and East Asian urban context. The chapters in this book investigate issues and communities such as: gated communities in the metropolitan area of Buenos Aires, Argentina planning responses to gated communities in Canada who segregates whom? The analysis of a gated community in Mendoza, Argentina sprawl and social segregation in southern California. These illustrative chapters enable the reader to understand more about the social and economic forces that have lead to gating, the ways in which gated communities are managed, and their wider effects on both residents and those living outside the gates. This book was previously published as a special issue of the journal Housing Studies.

Download or read book Vocabularies for an Urbanising Planet: Theory Building through Comparison written by Christian Schmid and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2023-10-04 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cartography as an instrument for the analysis of urbanisation processes The speed, scale and scope of urbanisation have increased dramatically in recent decades. To decipher the rapidly changing urban territories across the planet, we need a radical shift in the analytical perspective on urbanisation. In this book, a transdisciplinary international research team presents an expanded vocabulary of urbanisation processes through a comparison of Tokyo, Hong Kong – Shenzhen – Dongguan, Kolkata, Istanbul, Lagos, Paris, Mexico City and Los Angeles. Based on a novel cartography and on detailed ethnographic and historical explorations, this book systematically analyses the diversity of responses to urgent contemporary urban challenges. It proposes a series of new concepts that allow us to assess the practical consequences of different urban strategies in everyday life. Essential book on urbanism New evaluation models for urbanisation processes Comprehensive analyses and illustrations of the urban patterns of international metropolises Comparison of urbanisation processes in eight metropolises around the world

This book was released on 2010 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich Geowissenschaften / Geographie - Bevölkerungsgeographie, Stadt- u. Raumplanung, Note: 1,0, Europa-Universität Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die zum Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts einsetzenden Prozesse "wirtschaftlicher Globalisierung" verursachten überregionale Machtverschiebungen, aus denen sich im Laufe der Zeit die Städte als bedeutende wirtschaftliche Zentren herauskristallisierten. Auf der Basis einer umfassenden Technologisierung von Produktions- und Arbeitsverfahren auf internationaler Ebene entwickelten sich dabei Unternehmen zu internationalen Akteuren, deren Handeln je nach Zielsetzung von jenen Orten gesteuert wird, welcher dafür die geeigneten Voraussetzungen bieten. In Folge eines schrittweisen Rückzugs politischer Entscheidungsträger aus dem schnell wachsenden globalisierter Finanz- und Unternehmensdienstleistungen, nahm der Machtbereich einiger weniger, den Weltmarkt dominierender Konzerne, unermessliche Ausmaße an. Durch die Liberalisierung des Welthandels wuchs auch die Rolle der Städte in einzelnen Sektoren der Wirtschaft. Mit fortschreitender Globalisierung und unter dem Einfluss politischer bzw. struktureller Transformationsprozesse, konnten sich nun auch die urbanen Zentren in "Schwellenländern" innerhalb des Weltmarktgeschehens etablieren. Wenngleich keinerlei Zweifel über die grundlegende Dominanz der Industrienationen im Bereich der Globalwirtschaft besteht, wirft die "neue" Machtkonzentration in den Städten die Frage auf, welche spezifische Rolle die Städte des "Südens"3 im weltumspannenden Verlauf von Informations- und Finanzströmen spielen; dies umso mehr, als dass sich Globalisierung determinatorisch auf die Lebensweise/-fähigkeit eines jeden Individuums auswirkt. In der vorliegenden Arbeit soll daher am Beispiel Lateinamerikas die Integration bzw. Nichtintegration von Städten der Schwellenländer in den Globalisierungsprozess erläutert werden. Ausgehend von der Annahm

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2006 im Fachbereich Geowissenschaften / Geographie - Bevölkerungsgeographie, Stadt- u. Raumplanung, Note: 2,3, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Bevor ich die Frage nach Global Cities in Lateinamerika behandeln werde, möchte ich zuerst den Begriff der Global City, wie er nach seinen „Begründern“ S. Sassen und J. Friedmann definiert wurde, erörtern. Die Global City als Gegenstand wissenschaftlicher Betrachtung wurde erstmals in den 1980er Jahren von J. Friedmann behandelt, da die früheren Werke von Hall (1966) et al. noch keine Theorie der Global City im heutigen Sinne thematisierten, sondern sich mit World Cities etc. und demnach mit einem völlig anderen Kriterienkatalog befassten. Als Definition für eine Global City lassen sich hier die „Auswahlkriterien für Global Cities“ von J. Friedmann1anführen: Wichtiges Finanzzentrum, Headquarters von transnationalen Unternehmen, internationale Institutionen√rapider Anstieg des Dienstleistungssektors√wichtiges Produktionszentrum, wichtiger Transportknotenpunkt, Bevölkerungsgröße. Erweitert wird diese Definition durch S. Sassens „Neue Funktionsweisen von Global Cities“: hoch konzentrierte Kommandozentralen in der Organisation der Weltwirtschaft, Schlüsselstandorte für Finanzwesen und hoch spezialisierte Dienstleistungen, Orte der Produktion einschliesslich Innovationen in führenden Industriezweigen, Märkte für produzierte Güter und Innovationen Nach dieser Hypothese ist eine Global City also ein urbanes Zentrum globaler Bedeutung, das sich durch eine herausragende wirtschaftliche und administrative Stellung sowohl im nationalen als auch im globalen Kontext definiert. Für die Klassifikation von Global Cities werden dementsprechend verschiedenste Daten herangezogen, wie etwa die Summe der ausländischen Direktinvestitionen (ADIs), die Anzahl an Direktflügen in Triadenländer (Europa - Nordamerika - Japan), die Präsenz ausländischer Banken oder auch die Ausprägung des FIRE - Sektors (Finance - Insurance - Real Estate / Finanzdienstleistungen - Versicherungen - Immobilien). Wichtiger für die Einstufung einer Global City ist jedoch vor allem ihre Vernetzung mit anderen Global Cities bzw. ihre Rolle im globalen Wirtschaftssystem.

Download or read book Women and the Roman City in the Latin West written by Emily Hemelrijk and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2013-07-18 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roman Cities, as conventionally studied, seem to be dominated by men. Yet as the contributions to this volume—which deals with the Roman cities of Italy and the western provinces in the late Republic and early Empire—show, women occupied a wide range of civic roles. Women had key roles to play in urban economies, and a few were prominent public figures, celebrated for their generosity and for their priestly eminence, and commemorated with public statues and grand inscriptions. Drawing on archaeology and epigraphy, on law and art as well as on ancient texts, this multidisciplinary study offers a new and more nuanced view of the gendering of civic life. It asks how far the experience of women of the smaller Italian and provincial cities resembled that of women in the capital, how women were represented in sculptural art as well as in inscriptions, and what kinds of power or influence they exercised in the societies of the Latin West.
