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.

Download or read book Urban Policy in Latin America written by Michael Cohen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-26 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book evaluates the impact of 20 years of urban policies in six Latin American countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Mexico. It argues that evaluating the fulfillment of past commitments is essential for framing and meeting the new commitments that were taken in Habitat III over the next 20 years. Taken as a whole, the book provides a critical assessment of the economic, social and environmental consequences of urban interventions during Habitat II. The country-level chapters have been written by recognized experts in urban issues, with first-hand knowledge of the Habitat process, and deep familiarity with the problems, statistics, actors and political contexts of their nations. The latter part of the volume considers wider topics such as the Habitat Commitment Index, the New Urban Agenda and the regional and global-scale lessons that can be extracted from this group of countries. Urban Policy in Latin America will be of interest to advanced students, researchers and policymakers across development economics, urban studies and Latin American studies.

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.

This book was released on 2018-08-30 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How have immigration and diversity shaped urban life and local governance? The Routledge Handbook to the Governance of Migration and Diversity in Cities focuses on the ways migration and diversity have transformed cities, and how cities have responded to the challenges and opportunities offered. Strengthening the relevance of the city as a crucial category for the study of migration policy and migration flows, the book is divided into five parts: • Migration, history and urban life • Local politics and political participation • Local policies of migration and diversity • Superdiverse cities • Divided cities and border cities. Grounded in the European debate on "the local turn" in the study of migration policy, as contrasted to the more traditional focus on the nation-state, the handbook also brings together contributions from North America, South America, Asia and the Middle East and contributors from a wide range of disciplines. It is a valuable resource for students and scholars working in political science, policy studies, history, sociology, urban studies and geography.

Download or read book Urbicide written by Fernando Carrión Mena and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-03-23 with total page 930 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uses the reflection of academics specialized in the urban area of Latin America, Europe and the United States, to initiate a comparative debate of the different dynamics in which Urbicidio expresses itself. The field or focal point of analysis that this publication approaches is the city, but under a new critical perspective of inverse methodology to that has been traditional used. It is about understanding the structural causes of self-destruction to finally thinking better and then going from pessimism to optimism. It is a deep look at the city from an unconventional entrance, because it is about knowing and analyzing what the city loses by the action deployed by own urbanites, both in the field of its production and in the field of its consumption. This suppose that the city does not have an ascending linear sequential evolution in its development but neither in each of its parts in the improvement process, showing the face that commonly not seen but others live. The category used for this purpose is that of Urbicidio or the death of the city, which contributes theoretically and methodologically to the knowledge of the city, as well as to the design of urban policies that neutralize it. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the book has an inclusive view of the authors. For this reason, gender parity, territorial representation and the presence of age groups have been sought.

Download or read book Urban Segregation and Governance in the Americas written by B. Roberts and published by Springer. This book was released on 2009-04-27 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Residential segregation is a key issue for good governance in Latin American cities. The isolation of people of different social classes or ethnicities has potential political and social consequences, including differential access to and quality of education, health and other services. This volume uses the recent availability of geo-coded census data and techniques of spatial analysis to conduct the first detailed comparative examination of residential segregation in six major Latin American metropolises, with Austin, Texas, as a US comparison. It demonstrates the high degree of residential segregation of contemporary Latin American cities and discusses implications for the welfare of urban residents.

Download or read book Gentrification around the World, Volume II written by Jerome Krase and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-07-09 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together scholarly but readable essays on the process of gentrification, this two-volume collection addresses the broad question: In what ways does gentrification affect cities, neighborhoods, and the everyday experiences of ordinary people? In this second volume of Gentrification around the World, contributors contemplate different ways of thinking about gentrification and displacement in the abstract and “on-the-ground.” Chapters examine, among other topics, social class, development, im/migration, housing, race relations, political economy, power dynamics, inequality, displacement, social segregation, homogenization, urban policy, planning, and design. The qualitative methodologies used in each chapter—which emphasize ethnographic, participatory, and visual approaches that interrogate the representation of gentrification in the arts, film, and other mass media—are themselves a unique and pioneering way of studying gentrification and its consequences worldwide.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume sheds new light on the use of quantitative, qualitative and synthetic indicators for the measurement of quality of life in different countries of Latin America.

The book focuses on the social, economic, political, geographical and demographic dimensions. It covers a wide range of topics, including the ways to measure social, political and spatial inequalities, the changes in urban quality of life, the construction of a synthetic indicator for the assessment of habitability, the measuring of spatial segregation in midsize and smaller cities by using thematic cartography and synthesis maps, and the concept of habitability. It includes research conducted on the quality of life of different population groups: working boys and girls, high-school students, and older people.
