Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the decade between 1998-2008, Spain became the main destination for Ecuadorian migrants, and Madrid, Spain's capital, became the city with the largest Ecuadorian population outside of Ecuador. Through a combination of ethnographic research and cultural analysis, this book addresses the interconnections between spatial practices, cultural production, and definitions of citizenship in migration dynamics between Ecuador and Spain, showing how Ecuadorians are key actors in Madrid's recent urban history. Looking at the city as form and content, constitutive and constituting of ideological processes, each chapter analyzes the spatial practices of Madrid's Ecuadorian residents through various forms: the body, the home, public and leisure spaces, the city, the nation, and transnational circuits. Rather than addressing migrants as a general human type marked by (dis)placement, each chapter offers an illustration of how Ecuadorian migrants forge transnational processes through their everyday lives in specific time and place, and how these processes manifest culturally on both sides of the Atlantic.

Book excerpt: Ya en época de relativa modernidad, el Metro continuó siendo un servicio público a los madrileños más allá de su prestación de transporte público, pues sus estaciones fueron cobijo caliente para los sin techo, para los indigentes que pernoctaban a cielo raso en las asesinas madrugadas del invierno, y que salvaron tiritonas, quien sabe si la vida, gracias al estómago caliente de la ciudad que eran las estaciones del Metro. Llegaron los años ochenta y los noventa y con ellos la década prodigiosa en la historia de este popular medio de transporte. El Metro salía de vía muerta y llegaba a todos los confines de la periferia, pero no se quedaba en el territorio capitalino, sino que comenzó un proceso, hasta entonces impensable, de extensión hacia la periferia metropolitana, hacia las ciudades vecinas, a otros territorios. Así nació Metro-Sur, y después, Metro-Este, Metro-Norte, y Metro Ligero para que los madrileños tuvieran este medio a un “metro” de sus posibilidades de acceso. Paralelamente, los andenes, los pasillos, los vestíbulos del Metro se han configurado como una auténtica ciudad subterránea, con sus calles, sus plazas, sus comercios, sus músicos ambulantes y sus ladronzuelos de alcantarilla; sus escaleras mecánicas y la accesibilidad correspondiente para los minusválidos; las exposiciones culturales, los actos artísticos, las celebraciones lúdicas y hasta la pasarela de moda. El diseño de la parte nueva de la red corresponde a las tendencias arquitectónicas y artísticas más vanguardistas, como corresponde a la estética de la ciudad que vive en el piso de arriba. Metro con biblioteca, cobertura de móvil y televisión; Metro con sus incidencias diarias, con sus inevitables retrasos, con, en algunos casos, la pérdida de paciencia de sus viajeros. Nada distinto a lo que ocurre en superficie. Parodiando al viejo tango podríamos decir que: “Noventa años no son nada”. Pero sí, son muchos. Es el tiempo que separa a un “poblachón manchego” con vocación de gran ciudad, de una urbe cosmopolita, vanguardista, moderna. Es el tiempo que separa una ilusión bajo tierra, el nacimiento del Metro, de una realidad situada a la cabeza de este tipo de transporte público en todo el mundo. Metro de Madrid, la ciudad por dentro.

Download or read book Trains Culture and Mobility written by Benjamin Fraser and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2012 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trains, Culture and Mobility: Riding the Rails goes beyond textual representations of rail travel to engage an impressive range of political, sociological and urban theory. Taken together, these essays highlight the complexity of the modern experience of train mobility, and its salient relation to a number of cultural discourses. Incorporating traditionally marginal areas of cultural production such as graffiti, museums, architecture or even plunging into the social experience of travel inside the traincar itself, each essay constitutes an attempt to work from the act of riding the train toward questions of much larger significance. Crisscrossing cultures from the New World and Old, from East and West, these essays share a common preoccupation with the way in which trains and railway networks have mapped and re-mapped the contours of both cities and states in the modern period. Bringing together individual and large-scale social practices, this volume traces out the cultural implications of "Riding the Rails."

Download or read book Old Europe New Suburbanization written by Nicholas A. Phelps and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The youthful vigour of urbanization in North America has promulgated a dominant perspective on urban theory, specifically on suburbs, that establishes the United States as the norm against which all other contexts are measured. However, much of the vocabulary surrounding the American experience isn’t applicable to the wider world. Old Europe, New Suburbanization? takes us on a journey of rediscovery into some of Europe’s oldest metropolises. The volume’s contributors reveal the great variety of patterns and processes of urbanization that make Europe a fruitful ground for furthering the diversity of global suburbanisms. The effects of urban history found in such cities as Athens, London, Madrid, Montpellier, and Sofia, varies greatly due to the sheer variety of economic, industrial, land, and expansionist policies at play on the continent. This collection highlights the varied historical and geographical manifestations that have shaped urban areas and provides evidence for new processes of suburbanization.

Download or read book Manual para el desarrollo de ferrocarriles urbanos written by Daniel Pulido and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2020-11-09 with total page 814 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A nivel global, ciudades buscan desarrollar soluciones de transporte asequibles, ecológicas y socialmente responsables que puedan satisfacer las necesidades de conectividad de las crecientes poblaciones metropolitanas y respaldar el futuro desarrollo económico y urbano. Cuando los sistemas ferroviarios urbanos se planifican e implementan adecuadamente como parte de una red de transporte público más amplia, éstis pueden brindar vías rápidas de movilidad y acceso vital a los centros urbanos desde la periferias. Los servicios ferroviarios urbanos de alto rendimiento, cuando se abordan cuidadosamente en el contexto de un proyecto de desarrollo, pueden ayudar a mejorar la calidad de vida de los ciudadanos brindándoles acceso a oportunidades laborales y servicios esenciales, tanto del entorno urbano inmediato como de comunidades vecinas. Este manual sintetiza y difunde conocimientos sobre planificación, implementación y operación de los proyectos ferroviarios urbanos para: i) destacar la necesidad de realizar estudios tempranos y planificar los proyectos, ii) contribuir a que los proyectos sean más sostenibles (desde el punto de vista económico, social y ambiental); iii) mejorar los beneficios socioeconómicos de los usuarios y el acceso de estos a distintas oportunidades; iv) maximizar el valor de la participación privada, cuando corresponda, y v) fortalecer la capacidad de las instituciones encargadas de la gestión e implementación de los proyectos. Se ofrece experiencia para lidiar con los desafíos técnicos, institucionales y financieros a los que se enfrentan los tomadores de decisiones de proyectos ferroviarios urbanos. Se reúnen los conocimientos especializados del personal del Banco Mundial y el aporte de numerosos especialistas para sintetizar buenas prácticas y recomendaciones basadas en experiencia global que no responden a intereses comerciales, financieros ni políticos, entre otros. El material presentado tiene como objetivo servir de guía imparcial para maximizar el impacto y afrontar los desafíos que conllevan los sistemas ferroviarios urbanos en las ciudades de países desarrollados y en desarrollo. No se brinda un enfoque único, sino que se reconocen las complejidades y los distintos contextos existentes cuando se aborda un proyecto de desarrollo ferroviario urbano; de ese modo, se apoya a las autoridades a prepararse para formular las preguntas adecuadas, analizar las cuestiones clave, llevar a cabo los estudios necesarios, aplicar las herramientas apropiadas y aprender de las buenas prácticas internacionales, todo ello en el oportuno momento del proceso de desarrollo del proyecto.
