This book was released on 2007 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation examines the relationship between the process of residential segregation, the social isolation it produces, and the erosion of resources in households dwelling in poor urban areas. My main question is how and why living in contexts of socioeconomic segregation affects the resources poor households live on. I resorted to a combination of qualitative and quantitative research techniques. The data sources are: 1. A semi-structured questionnaire applied to 100 households of four Greater Buenos Aries settlements randomly selected. 2. Life histories applied to a fifth of my household sample. 3. Self-processed data from the 2001 Permanent Household Survey of Buenos Aires Agglomerate. And, 4. Self-processed data from Argentina's last two Population Census. Contrary to mainstream approach to survival strategies in Latin America, I found that the more poor and segregated an area is the worst quality of their resources. Moreover I found that segregated areas are related to a process of households' resources exhaustion that worsens their chances of overcoming poverty. I show that this process goes beyond households' members' backgrounds. My analysis demonstrates that neighborhoods, and not only background characteristics matter and do influence individual behaviors and achievements. Living in poor segregated areas increases both risk behavior and labor achievement. Finally, I argue that territorial concentration of poverty favors the formation of "circuits for the satisfaction of basic needs", consolidating particular and specific ways in which poor people obtain the resources they need to deal with the requirements of daily life. I assert that these "circuits" consolidate poor peoples' marginality. My research is situated in contemporary urban Buenos Aires with special reference to Greater Buenos Aires (Argentinean's largest urban agglomerate). Yet my arguments about the erosion of resources in contexts of increase socioeconomic segregation is, to some extent, applicable to other countries, given that different world regions are undergoing similar profound economic and social reorganization processes. The approach I use helps to understand some of the most negative effects of the increasing social fragmentation. It contributes to enrich our understanding of urban poverty and some of the mechanisms that support its perpetuation and rigidity in Latin American countries.

This book was released on 2022-07-19 with total page 669 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook presents the great contemporary challenges facing cities and urban spaces in Latin America and the Caribbean. The content of this multidisciplinary book is organized into four large sections focusing on the histories and trajectories of urban spatial development, inequality and displacement of urban populations, contemporary debates on urban policies, and the future of the city in this region. 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 open access book revisits the theoretical foundations of urban planning and the application of these concepts and methods in the context of Southern countries by examining several case studies from different regions of the world. For instance, the case of Koudougou, a medium-sized city in one of the poorest countries in the world, Burkina Faso, with a population of 115.000 inhabitants, allows us to understand concretely which and how these deficiencies are translated in an African urban context. In contrast, the case of Nueve de Julio, intermediate city of 50.000 dwellers in the pampa Argentina, addresses the new forms of spatial fragmentation and social exclusion linked with agro export and crisis of the international markets. Case studies are also included for cities in Asia and Latin America. Differences and similarities between cases allow us to foresee alternative models of urban planning better adapted to tackle poverty and find efficient ways for more inclusive cities in developing and emerging countries, interacting several dimensions linked with high rates of urbanization: territorial fragmentation; environmental contamination; social disparities and exclusion, informal economy and habitat, urban governance and democracy.

Download or read book Urban Socio Economic Segregation and Income Inequality written by Maarten van Ham and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-03-29 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book investigates the link between income inequality and socio-economic residential segregation in 24 large urban regions in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America. It offers a unique global overview of segregation trends based on case studies by local author teams. The book shows important global trends in segregation, and proposes a Global Segregation Thesis. Rising inequalities lead to rising levels of socio-economic segregation almost everywhere in the world. Levels of inequality and segregation are higher in cities in lower income countries, but the growth in inequality and segregation is faster in cities in high-income countries. This is causing convergence of segregation trends. Professionalisation of the workforce is leading to changing residential patterns. High-income workers are moving to city centres or to attractive coastal areas and gated communities, while poverty is increasingly suburbanising. As a result, the urban geography of inequality changes faster and is more pronounced than changes in segregation levels. Rising levels of inequality and segregation pose huge challenges for the future social sustainability of cities, as cities are no longer places of opportunities for all.
