Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El trabajo de autores europeos y americanos provenientes de un largo número de disciplinas (urbanística, antropología, sociología, historia, derecho, geografía y arquitectura) confluye en este libro que aborda la cuestión del espacio público desde una perspectiva que podríamos calificar de ética: la preocupación por el devenir actual y las perspectivas de futuro de ese bien común que, como sostiene Henri Lefebvre, es esencia misma de la ciudad.Tomando como punto de partida esta concepción lefebvriana del espacio público, resultaba especialmente oportuno no ceñirse a un ámbito geográfico ni disciplinar. De ahí la pluralidad de voces y experiencias que se recogen en este libro en un intento de reflexión trasatlántica que navega entre la ciudad y sus espacios públicos, entre el presente y el futuro imaginado.Esta opción encierra algunos desafíos. En un mismo volumen se reúnen reflexiones referidas a ciudades europeas y americanas que no comparten la misma historia, ni la misma realidad física, política, económica y social; ciudades que además son vistas (vividas y pensadas) con diferentes miradas -con perspectivas distintas- sobre esa realidad poliédrica que es lo público de la ciudad, desde el espacio físico a la fiesta. En este sentido, la obra que se presenta aquí es un compendio de diversidades y complementariedades con algún conflicto o contradicción, como lo es el propio espacio público. Probablemente, ahí radique el valor pero también la desafiante complejidad del 'espacio público en la ciudad contemporánea'.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frecuentemente pensamos en la ciudad como algo estático, acabado, que siempre estuvo y siempre estará más o menos igual. A veces pensamos en la ciudad como algo que siempre fue como la hemos conocido y frecuentemente nos lleva a una seria sensación de pérdida cuando la vemos cambiar y evolucionar hacia unas formas que nos resultan extrañas y nos fuerzan a la adaptación. Curiosa paradoja, por cierto, cuando la ciudad es la mayor creación del ser humano para defenderse de las agresiones que le deparaba el medio natural –el medio que le permite la vida.
Download or read book Public Space Reader written by Miodrag Mitrašinović and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent global appropriations of public spaces through urban activism, public uprising, and political protest have brought back democratic values, beliefs, and practices that have been historically associated with cities. Given the aggressive commodification of public re- sources, public space is critically important due to its capacity to enable forms of public dis- course and social practice which are fundamental for the well-being of democratic societies. Public Space Reader brings together public space scholarship by a cross-disciplinary group of academics and specialists whose essays consider fundamental questions: What is public space and how does it manifest larger cultural, social, and political processes? How are public spaces designed, socially and materially produced, and managed? How does this impact the nature and character of public experience? What roles does it play in the struggles for the just city, and the Right to The City? What critical participatory approaches can be employed to create inclusive public spaces that respond to the diverse needs, desires, and aspirations of individuals and communities alike? What are the critical global and comparative perspectives on public space that can enable further scholarly and professional work? And, what are the futures of public space in the face of global pandemics, such as COVID-19? The readers of this volume will be rewarded with an impressive array of perspectives that are bound to expand critical understanding of public space.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hablamos de la ciudad y de su re-construcción para repensar la importancia del Estado democrático de derecho y de su núcleo constituyente, el Espacio público incluyente generador de simetría humana y justicia a fin de sugerir formas alternativas que lo afiancen y defiendan de los ataques de un sistema mundial económico depredador del tejido social y de la naturaleza. Tal como Hannah Arendt claramente lo plasmara hace más de seis décadas en La condición humana: «La existencia de una esfera pública y la consiguiente transformación del mundo en una comunidad de cosas que agrupa y relaciona a los hombres entre sí, depende por entero de la permanencia. Si el mundo ha de incluir un espacio público no se puede establecerlo para una generación y planearlo solo para los vivos, sino que debe superar el tiempo vital de los hombres mortales… Sin esta trascendencia… ninguna política, estrictamente hablando, ningún mundo común ni esfera pública resultan posibles...Pero tal mundo común sólo puede sobrevivir al paso de las generaciones en la medida en que aparezca en público». «Somos solo nosotros los jardineros del árbol misterioso que ha de crecer» (Ernst Bloch).

Download or read book Locating Right to the City in the Global South written by Tony Roshan Samara and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-04 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the fact that virtually all urban growth is occurring, and will continue to occur, in the cities of the Global South, the conceptual tools used to study cities are distilled disproportionately from research on the highly developed cities of the Global North. With urban inequality widely recognized as central to many of the most pressing challenges facing the world, there is a need for a deeper understanding of cities of the South on their own terms. Locating Right to the City in the Global South marks an innovative and far reaching effort to document and make sense of urban transformations across a range of cities, as well as the conflicts and struggles for social justice these are generating. The volume contains empirically rich, theoretically informed case studies focused on the social, spatial, and political dimensions of urban inequality in the Global South. Drawing from scholars with extensive fieldwork experience, this volume covers sixteen cities in fourteen countries across a belt stretching from Latin America, to Africa and the Middle East, and into Asia. Central to what binds these cities are deeply rooted, complex, and dynamic processes of social and spatial division that are being actively reproduced. These cities are not so much fracturing as they are being divided by governance practices informed by local histories and political contestation, and refracted through or infused by market based approaches to urban development. Through a close examination of these practices and resistance to them, this volume provides perspectives on neoliberalism and right to the city that advance our understanding of urbanism in the Global South. In mapping the relationships between space, politics and populations, the volume draws attention to variations shaped by local circumstances, while simultaneously elaborating a distinctive transnational Southern urbanism. It provides indepth research on a range of practical and policy oriented issues, from housing and slum redevelopment to building democratic cities that include participation by lower income and other marginal groups. It will be of interest to students and practitioners alike studying Urban Studies, Globalization, and Development.
Download or read book Ordinary Places Extraordinary Events written by Clara Irazábal and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-01-17 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clara Irazábal and her contributors explore the urban history of some of Latin America’s great cities through studies of their public spaces and what has taken place there. The avenues and plazas of Mexico City, Havana, Santo Domingo, Caracas, Bogotaì, SaÞo Paulo, Lima, Santiago, and Buenos Aires have been the backdrop for extraordinary, history-making events. While some argue that public spaces are a prerequisite for the expression, representation and reinforcement of democracy, they can equally be used in the pursuit of totalitarianism. Indeed, public spaces, in both the past and present, have been the site for the contestation by ordinary people of various stances on democracy and citizenship. By exploring the use and meaning of public spaces in Latin American cities, this book sheds light on contemporary definitions of citizenship and democracy in the Americas.
Download or read book Temporary Appropriation in Cities written by Alessandro Melis and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-12-12 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book conceptualises and illustrates temporary appropriation as an urban phenomenon, exploring its contributions to citizenship, urban social sustainability and urban health. It explains how some forms of appropriation can be subversive, existing in a grey area between legal and illegal activities in the city. The book explores the complex and the multi-scalar nature of temporary appropriation, and touches on its relationship to issues such as: sustainability and building re-use; culture; inclusivity, including socio-spatial inclusion; streetscape design; homelessness; and regulations controlling the use of public spaces. The book focuses on temporary appropriation as a necessity of adapting human needs in a city, highlighting the flexibility that is needed within urban planning and the further research that should be undertaken in this area. The book utilises case studies of Auckland, Algiers and Mexico City, and other cities with diverse cultural and historical backgrounds, to explore how planning, design and development can occur whilst maintaining community diversity and resilience. Since urban populations are certain to grow further, this is a key topic for understanding urban dynamics, and this book will be of interest to academics and practitioners alike.
