This book was released on 2007 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to increased urbanization in the global south during the later half of the 20th century, a severe lack of suitable housing and related infrastructure in low-income communities has developed. In order to address housing deficit issues, particularly in large metropolitan areas, national and local governments have implemented various policies and programs intended to improve housing conditions of residents living in poverty-stricken communities. To determine what types of programs provide housing for low-income residents, this thesis will examine select housing programs implemented in the South American cities of Caracas, Venezuela, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and Sao Paulo. Brazil from the 1990s through the early 21st century. This study will provide an overview of urban housing in Latin America during the 20th century, including housing policies that contributed to the growth of housing settlements for low-income residents. The impact of the proliferation of low-income housing in urban areas will be discussed. This study will then present a narrative on select urban housing improvement and upgrading programs implemented in the low-income neighborhoods in the study cities. Data and other pertinent information regarding these initiatives were obtained from urban housing policy reports and briefs and program evaluations. The overarching goal of this assessment is to establish if programmatic outcomes were successful and to examine the impacts of such programs in the social and economic realms.-- Abstract.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents multidisciplinary analyses of the historical trajectories of social and economic inequalities in Brazil over the last 50 years. As one of the most unequal countries in the world, Brazil has always been an important case study for scholars interested in inequality research, but in the last few decades has brought a new phenomenon to renew researchers’ interest in the country. While the majority of democracies in the developed world have witnessed an increase in income inequality from the 1970s on, Brazil has followed the opposite path, registering a significant reduction of income inequality over the last 30 years. Bringing together studies carried out by experts from different areas, such as economists, sociologists, demographers and political scientists, this volume presents insights based on rigorous analyses of statistical data in an effort to explain the long term changes in social and economic inequalities in Brazil. The book adopts a multidisciplinary approach, analyzing the relations between income inequality and different dimensions of social life, such as education, health, political participation, public policies, demographics and labor market. All of this makes Paths of Inequality in Brazil – A Half-Century of Change a very valuable resource for social scientists interested in inequality research in general, and especially for sociologists, political scientists and economists interested in the social and economic changes that Brazil went through over the last two decades.

Download or read book Determinants of City Growth in Brazil written by Daniel Da Mata and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, we examine the determinants of Brazilian city growth between 1970 and 2000. We consider a model of a city, which combines aspects of standard urban economics and the new economic geography literatures. For the empirical analysis, we constructed a dataset of 123 Brazilian agglomerations, and estimate aspects of the demand and supply side as well as a reduced form specification that describes city sizes and their growth. Our main findings are that increases in rural population supply, improvements in inter-regional transport connectivity and education attainment of the labor force have strong impacts on city growth. We also find that local crime and violence, measured by homicide rates impinge on growth. In contrast, a higher share of private sector industrial capital in the local economy stimulates growth. Using the residuals from the growth estimation, we also find that cities who better administer local land use and zoning laws have higher growth. Finally, our policy simulations show that diverting transport investments from large cities towards secondary cities do not provide significant gains in terms of national urban performance.

Download or read book The Routledge Handbook on Informal Urbanization written by Roberto Rocco and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-01-02 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Handbook on Informal Urbanization investigates the mutual relationship between the struggle for political inclusion and processes of informal urbanization in different socio-political and cultural settings. It seeks a middle ground between two opposing perspectives on the political meaning of urban informality. The first, the ‘emancipatory perspective’, frames urban informality as a practice that fosters autonomy, entrepreneurship and social mobility. The other perspective, more critical, sees informality predominantly as a result of political exclusion, inequality, and poverty. Do we see urban informality as a fertile breeding ground for bottom-up democracy and more political participation? Or is urban informality indeed merely the result of a democratic deficit caused by governing autocratic elites and ineffective bureaucracies? This book displays a wide variety of political practices and narratives around these positions based on narratives conceived upon specific case cities. It investigates how processes of urbanization are politicized in countries in the Global South and in transition economies. The handbook explores 24 cities in the Global South, as well as examples from Eastern Europe and East Asia, with contributions written by a global group of scholars familiar with the cases (often local scholars working in the cities analyzed) who offer unique insight on how informal urbanization can be interpreted in different contexts. These contributions engage the extreme urban environments under scrutiny which are likely to be the new laboratories of 21st-century democracy. It is vital reading for scholars, practitioners, and activists engaged in informal urbanization.

Download or read book Minha Casa, Nossa Cidade ! written by Marc Angélil and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2009, Brazil launched the mass housing program "Minha Casa, Minha Vida" ("My House, My Life"), which aims to build 3.4 million housing units by the end of 2014. By reexamining the program at a critical time, Minha Casa-Nossa Cidade ("My House, Our City") attempts to hack the production of mass housing and tackle the profound social changes currently underway in Brazil. In three chapters, the book reviews the history and implementation of the government program, highlights the ingenuity of "Popular Brazilian Architecture," and presents design proposals by MAS Urban Design for low-cost housing. Building on the program's success in broadening access to housing, Minha Casa-Nossa Cidade puts forth a vision for the city as a common project and the transformation of monotonous urban areas into popular neighborhoods-living environments that can be appropriated according to individual as well as collective needs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Brazilian Constitution provides a remarkable set of social rights, including the right to housing. Despite this fact, struggles for decent living conditions have become key issues in the daily urban lives of many people in Brazil. Contesting the differentiated access to housing, social movements occupy empty buildings in the cities to challenge historically-rooted and excluding urban politics. Exploring the occupants' agency, Bea Wittger draws attention to the important role of female actors within the buildings. Through oral histories of participants of two squats in Rio de Janeiro, the book delivers a deep insight "from below" into their own perspectives on citizenship and gender.
