Urban Rights And Sustainability In Latinamerica First Steps Towards Urban Justice Operationalization 1st Edition Dr Javier Alonso Gomez Davila by Dr. Javier Alonso Gomez Davila instant download after payment.

The following research is based on the affirmation that urban
sustainability in developing regions, such as Latin America, is an
impossible goal to be totally achieved, due to the circumstances of
poverty, informality (slums), corruption, violence, among others that
exist there. Therefore, the urban sustainability in the cities of this region
has to be reached through survival efforts that seek to balance the existing
inequalities (urban justice). So, the first step to take is to detect and
measure those inequalities, in order to be able to take actions to eradicate
or decrease them. To do that, urban rights were chosen to be used as
measuring tools for those urban injustices. The research presents five
priority urban rights contextualized to the Latin-American spatiality,
called the Latin-American urban rights (right to a living place, right to
the public space, right to alterity, right to mobility and accessibility, and
right to good government practices and public policies), that were
obtained after analyzing urban and social characteristics in different
cities such as Santiago, Chile, Salvador de Bahía, Brazil, and Monterrey,
México. Finally, a first proposal of operationalization of the LatinAmerican urban rights is presented, which was applied to a case study in
the city of Monterrey, México, in order to prove the efficiency of the
model.
