Download or read book Selling EthniCity written by Prof Dr Olaf Kaltmeier and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2012-11-28 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together a multidisciplinary team of scholars, this book explores the importance of ethnicity and cultural economy in the post-Fordist city in the Americas. It argues that cultural, political and economic elites make use of cultural and ethnic elements in city planning and architecture in order to construct a unique image of a particular city and demonstrates how the use of ethnicized cultural production - such as urban branding based on local identities - by the economic elite raises issues of considerable concern in terms of local identities, as it deploys a practical logic of capital exchange that can overcome forms of cultural resistance and strengthen the hegemonic colonization of everyday life. At the same time, it shows how ethnic communities are able to use ethnic labelling of cultural production, ethnic economy or ethno-tourism facilities in order to change living conditions and to empower its members in ways previously impossible. Of wide ranging interest across academic disciplines, this book will be a useful contribution to Inter-American studies.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume focuses on the implementation of the 2011 UNESCO Recommendation on the Historic Urban Landscape (HUL approach), designed to foster the integration of heritage management in regional and urban planning and management, and strengthen the role of heritage in sustainable urban development.Earlier publications and research looked at the underlying theory of why the HUL approach was needed and how this theory was developed and elaborated by UNESCO. A comprehensive analysis was carried out in consultation with a multitude of actors in the twenty-first-century urban scene and with disciplinary approaches that are available to heritage managers and practitioners to implement the HUL approach.This volume aims to be empirical, describing, analyzing, and comparing 28 cities taken as case studies to implement the HUL approach. From those cases, many lessons can be learned and much guidance shared on best practices concerning what can be done to make the HUL approach work.Whereas the previous studies served to illustrate issues and challenges, in this volume the studies point to innovations in regional and urban planning and management that can allow cities to avoid major conflicts and to further develop in competitiveness. These accomplishments have been possible by building partnerships, devising financial strategies, and using heritage as a key resource in sustainable urban development, to name but a few effective strategies.For these reasons, this volume is primarily pragmatic, linked to the daily work and challenges of practitioners and administrators, using specific cases to assess what was and is good about current practices and what can be improved, in accordance with the HUL approach and aims.

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.

This book was released on 2020-12-26 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta obra tiene entre sus objetivos esenciales investigar las funciones que cumplen las categorías financieras en la acumulación de recursos, en los países subdesarrollados. En especial, dilucidar las causas internas y externas que condicionan la insuficiencia de financiamiento para el desarrollo de América Latina y el Caribe; analizar la influencia de la penetración del capital trasnacional en la absorción de las riquezas naturales y explotación laboral nativa y, en la tendencia decreciente de la economía. En consecuencia, mostrar la incompetencia de las variables financieras internas para promover una industrialización sostenida dinámica e integral. Se enfatiza en lo indispensable de la ayuda financiera externa; y lo impostergable de instrumentar un modelo de desarrollo alternativo viable, eficiente, capaz de desencadenar el desarrollo de las fuerzas productivas y viabilizar una distribución equitativa de las riquezas creada por toda la sociedad, con justicia social y, por ende, eliminar la tendencia creciente de la pobreza, para finalmente, librarse de la dependencia externa y, conquistar su segunda independencia económica y política.También realiza una exhaustiva investigación acerca del rol de las funciones que han ejercido el BM, FMI, y las NU en la instrumentación y control de las políticas financieras internacionales y los modelos económicos aplicados bajo los principios del mercado neoliberal. Se evalúa la capacidad de producción e ingresos de estos países y se determinan los factores direccionales estratégicos que han influido en la fuga de capitales y en el comportamiento de la economía e insuficiente desarrollo tecnológico, lo que ha provocado lento crecimiento, incluso estancamiento en los niveles producción y una productividad muy baja, lo que unido a una deficiente gestión productiva, hace que la rentabilidad esté a nivel de subsistencia y que los ahorros sean insuficientes frente a la necesidad de formar altos índices de fondos de acumulación para fomentar las nuevas inversiones que demanda la introducción de tecnologías de avanzada, indispensables para incrementar la productividad, la eficiencia y la competitividad externa. A estos efectos se proyecta una nueva arquitectura financiera para darle una solución racional a las dificultades financieras que impiden el desarrollo e industrialización y eliminar o detener el crecimiento de la pobreza. Esta obra tiene un valor teórico-práctico inestimable para los países atrasados de "Nuestra América" y, en particular, para estudiantes, profesionales y otros miembros de la sociedad preocupados por el incierto futuro que deberá enfrentar la sociedad Latina de inmediato, si con urgencia no se industrializan, dado el impetuoso avance de las ciencias y las tecnologías, a la vez que crecen cada día los índices de pobreza y la tendendencia depredadora de la globalización neoliberal amenazan con absorber las economías de la región y eliminar los Estados-Nación situados en la periferia del capitalismo.
