Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La creciente intensidad de las contradicciones urbanas ha creado, a su vez, una crisis de la propia sociología urbana, que se revela incapaz de dar cuenta de los nuevos problemas, y más aún de ofrecerles solución. El autor ya ha desarrollado en obras anteriores una rigurosa crítica tanto de la sociología urbana tradicional como del análisis neoliberal que ha pretendido ofrecer una alternativa a aquélla a partir de los planteamientos de la ciencia política norteamericana. Por ello, en esta nueva obra se hace mayor hincapié en las limitaciones de los trabajos de la propia escuela marxista, cuyo acento en la lógica del capital, y en la función de lo urbano para la reproducción de la fuerza de trabajo, puede ocultar la importancia de los fenómenos específicamente políticos, de los valores culturales y de los movimientos sociales en la producción y gestión de la ciudad. Crisis urbana y cambio social se ocupa así de cuatro tipos de experiencia urbana bien distintos: las grandes ciudades norteamericanas, donde la lógica del capital aparece como plenamente dominante; Francia, donde el Estado posee amplia autonomía y capacidad de intervención en la política urbana; Madrid, donde los movimientos sociales urbanos han sido determinantes en la modificación del modelo de desarrollo; y las sociedades latinoamericanas en las que la dependencia condiciona la interrelación entre los tres elementos citados (capital, Estado y movimientos sociales). De Manuel Castells, Siglo XXI ha publicado: Problemas de investigación en sociología urbana; La cuestión urbana, Movimientos sociales urbanos, Ciudad, democracia y socialismo. La teoría marxista de las crisis económicas y las transformaciones del capitalismo, Capital multinacional, Estados nacionales y comunidades locales.

Book excerpt: A study of urbanization in five countries—Costa Rica, Haiti, Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, and Jamaica—during the 1980s and 1990s when the region's economy shifted from one heavily dependent on imports to one directed more to producing exports. The Urban Caribbean studies urbanization in five countries—Costa Rica, Haiti, Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, and Jamaica—during the 1980s and 1990s when the region's economy shifted from one heavily dependent on imports to one directed more to producing exports. This shift caused producers and entrepreneurs to rely more on microenterprises, thus challenging the informal economy networks of the central cities. Sociologist Alejandro Portes and the other contributors use rich, in-depth data to examine both qualitative and quantitative changes in these five countries. Their research method allows them to make generalizations applicable to all five economies while retaining the concreteness of the similarities and differences that make each country unique. "This volume is an incentive to other collaborative efforts to chart the paths taken by the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean as they seek to accommodate to the new global political and economic context . . . .The message of the volume is a convincing one. Because of similarities in the trends affecting countries of the region and policy debates, each country can benefit from the experiences of the others. However, the differences in political structure and in the nature of citizenship mean that social and economic policy debates must take into account the national context."—from the Foreword, by Bryan Roberts, University of Texas-Austin
Download or read book Urbanismo Regenerativo written by Landlab and published by Actar D, Inc.. This book was released on 2024-01-23 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are living in a critical moment, a reality marked by environmental and socio-economic limits that requires innovative and realistic forms of action and planning. This is what regenerative urbanism proposes, a new approach based on utopian pragmatism that seeks to restore balance to the urban territory by designing systems that allow it to adapt and transform. It is a methodology that defines models that do not consume available resources, but rather generate new ones that ensure compatibility between economic and social prosperity and nature. Santander, Hábitat Futuro (Santander, Future Habitat) is the city model created from this methodology, a proposal for the transformation of this city for the year 2055. It is an open model based on innovation and citizen participation that prepares and adapts the territory for the different scenarios to come. Santander, Habitat Futuro is a guide that directs the commitment of the different social, economic and political agents towards a common goal: to achieve a circular, sustainable, resilient, vertebrate, prosperous, vital and inclusive city. A model that, due to its innovative nature, can serve as an example to other intermediate cities around the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an analysis of contemporary Central American from a social perspective and, more specifically, from that of one of its main components: the world of labor. Despite undeniable changes, this world is still made up of three basic logics. Labor markets reflect an inability to generate sufficient employment. Labor relations remain precarious. And labor subjects and actors solid enough for their voice to be heard have not managed to establish themselves. The result is that the world of labor in Central America is still marked by vulnerability. }The oligarchic crises in Central America has provoked a variety of responses at different levels during the last decades. The development of new agroexports in the 1950s, the import substitution industrialization of the 1960s, and the current opening up of trade along with the development of new tradables sectors under the influence of globalization, represent attempts to modernize the regions economies. The same has occurred at the political level with the current democratization processes that have meant competitive elections taking place in all the countries. It is at the social level that responses have been most weak and levels of poverty remain extremely high. This book presents an analysis of contemporary Central American history from a social perspective and, more specifically, from that of one of its main components: the world of labor. Despite undeniable changes, this world is still made up of three basic logics. Labor markets reflect an inability to generate sufficient employment. Labor relations remain precarious. And labor subjects and actors solid enough for their voice to be heard have not managed to establish themselves. The result is that the world of labor in Central America is still marked by vulnerability. }
