Abstract:
Com a crise do fordismo urbano regulamentar, o mercado imobiliário voltou a ter um papel determinante no processo de coordenação social do uso do solo e de produção da estruturação intra-urbana. A mão inoxidável do mercado de solo está de volta. O trabalho apresenta uma leitura sobre a relação entre a produção da estrutura urbana e as formas de funcionamento dos mercados formais e informais de solo na América Latina. Propomos como hipótese que as cidades latino-americanas apresentam uma estrutura urbana particular quando comparada aos dois modelos tradicionais (cidade mediterrânea compacta e cidade anglo-difusa). O funcionamento do mercado de solo nas metrópoles latino-americanas produz simultaneamente uma estrutura urbana compacta e difusa. Essa estrutura urbana característica das grandes urbes latino-americanas nominamos “cidade COM-FUSA”.Palavras-chave: cidade informal; produção da estrutura urbana; mercado imobiliário informal e formal; mobilidade residencial. Abstract: With the crisis of regulatory urban Fordism, the real estate market has reemerged as a determining force in the social coordination process of land use and in the production of intra-urban structure. The steel hand of the market returned. This paper presents an analysis of the relation between the production of urban structure and the functioning modes of formal and informal land markets in Latin America. It proposes the hypothesis that, compared to the two traditional models: (compact mediterranean cities and the anglo saxon diffused cities), Latin American cities exhibit a particular urban structure. In these cities, the functioning of land markets produces simultaneously a compact and a diffused urban structure. This urban structure, characteristic of large Latin American cities, we designate as the "COM-FUSED" City. Keywords: informal and formal city; urban structure; informal and formal urban real estate; segregation; residential mobility.

Abstract:
This article introduces the Americas in the Great Divergence debate by measuring real wages in various North and South American cities between colonization and independence, and comparing them to Europe and Asia. We find that for much of the period, North America was the most prosperous region of the world, while Latin America was much poorer. We then discuss a series of hypotheses that can explain these results, including migration, the demography of the American Indian populations, and the various labor systems implemented in the continent.

Abstract:
Um dos temas mais sutis presente no panorama da cultura em tempos de globalização versa sobre o impacto da América Latina como polo gerador de conhecimento autêntico, com contornos próprios. Tal enunciado remete ao prestígio dos argumentos originais que caracterizariam a cultura local, latino-americana, lato sensu, pois afinal pergunta-se: pode-se falar de um modo cultural latino-americano? Caso afirmativo, de que matéria teria se constituído? Haveria unidade nas manifestações expressas pela cultura cunhada pelo padrão europeu? Nesta linha, situações específicas, como o caso colombiano, teriam relação direta com dinâmicas culturais vizinhas, mais amplas? Pensando nas sementes que fertilizam tais questionamentos - esboçados no passado, desde o peruano José Carlos Mariategui (1894-1930) - chega-se a Leopoldo Zea (1912-2004), pensador mexicano que mexeu de maneira decisiva com ideias estabelecidas sobre a projeção das antigas metrópoles europeias “criadas” nas colônias da América Latina. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: história; memória; oralidade; cultura. ABSTRACTOne of the most subtle present in the cultural panorama in times of globalization is about the impact of Latin America as polo authentic knowledge generator issues with its own contours. This statement refers to the prestige of the original arguments that characterize the local culture, Latin American, in the broad sense, because after all we ask: can one speak of a cultural mode Latin American? If so, the matter would have made? Would there be unity in the demonstrations expressed by culture coined by European standard? Along these lines, specific situations, such as the Colombian case, would have a direct relationship with neighboring cultural dynamics, wider? Thinking about the seed that fertilizes such questions - outlined in the past, since the Peruvian Jose Carlos Mariategui (1894-1930) - one comes to Leopoldo Zea (1912-2004), Mexican thinker who moved decisively to established ideas about projection of the ancient European cities "created" in the colonies in Latin America.

Abstract:
O processo de globalização implicou o ressurgimento da cidade-região como unidade geográfica chave no desenvolvimento econômico e o nascimento de um novo período de transformação urbana. A reorganização da economia mundial requereu, ao lado de novas formas de governo local, a reformulação das bases econômicas e também da infra-estrutura, de equipamentos e da própria imagem das cidades. Este processo, que se iniciou nos Estados Unidos e nos países da Europa Ocidental no começo dos anos 1980, levou uma década ou mais para se fazer sentir na América Latina. Enquanto as políticas urbanas avançavam neste sentido, a investigação acadêmica e a reflexão teórica, circunscrevendo-se essencialmente às pautas analíticas e interpretativas estabelecidas em contextos radicalmente distintos do sul-americano, permaneceram na retaguarda, limitadas aos aspectos operacionais da competitividade urbana e marcadas por velhas preocupações com a consolidação da democracia local. Este trabalho examina a cidade latino-americana à luz do debate sobre o “re-escalamento” como produto da globalização, ao mesmo tempo em que explora a contribuição representada por dito debate para a compreensão das estratégias de desenvolvimento urbano. Neste sentido, analisa-se a experiência de algumas cidades colombianas, com ênfase especial para o tema da relação com o Estado nacional e as questões que dizem respeito às políticas de planejamento, às práticas de governo urbano e à reconstrução urbanística. Pretende-se também, aqui, contribuir com algumas idéias que sirvam à elaboração de uma agenda de investigação para a América Latina.Palavras-chave: globalização; “re-escalamento” geográfico; neoliberalismo; desenvolvimento urbano; América Latina. Abstract: An integral part of the globalization process has been the resurgence of the city-region as a key geographical unit for economic development, with the consequent birth of a new period of urban transformation. The reorganization of the global economy and the global redistribution of industry required the restructuring of urban economies, infrastructures and images, as well as new forms of urban governance. This process, which began in the United States and Western Europe in the early 80s, took a decade or so to have a significant effect on Latin America cities. While urban policy has since consolidated considerably in this sense in Latin America, academic research and theoretical reflection has somewhat lagged behind, frequently circumscribed by analytic and interpretative frameworks imported from outside the Latin American context, limited to operative aspects of ‘urban competitiveness’ or dominated by regional concerns over local democracy. This paper examines the Latin American city in the light of the theoretical debate on the reconfiguration of scalar hierarchies and interrelations produced by globalization. It then goes on to review the recent experience of some Colombian cities, with special reference to the themes of state reorganization, planning policy, urban governance and spatial restructuring. The paper concludes with some suggestions concerning a research agenda.Keywords: globalization; geographic re-scaling; neoliberalism; urban development; Latin America.

Abstract:
AbstractVirtual audits using Google Street View are an increasingly popular method of assessing neighborhood environments for health and urban planning research. However, the validity of these studies may be threatened by issues of image availability, image age, and variance of image age, particularly in the Global South. This study identifies patterns of Street View image availability, image age, and image age variance across cities in Latin America and assesses relationships between these measures and measures of resident socioeconomic conditions. Image availability was assessed at 530,308 near-road points within the boundaries of 371 Latin American cities described by the SALURBAL (Salud Urbana en America Latina) project. At the subcity level, mixed-effect linear and logistic models were used to assess relationships between measures of socioeconomic conditions and image availability, average image age, and the standard deviation of image age. Street View imagery was available at 239,394 points (45.1%) of the total sampled, and rates of image availability varied widely between cities and countries. Subcity units with higher scores on measures of socioeconomic conditions had higher rates of image availability (OR = 1.11 per point increase of combined index, p < 0.001) and the imagery was newer on average (− 1.15 months per point increase of combined index, p < 0.001), but image capture date within these areas varied more (0.59-month increase in standard deviation of image age per point increase of combined index, p < 0.001). All three assessed threats to the validity of Street View virtual audit studies spatially covary with measures of socioeconomic conditions in Latin American cities. Researchers should be attentive to these issues when using Street View imagery.

Abstract:
“Latino urbanism” describes the myriad ways that immigrants from Latin America are remaking American cities to feel more like the places from which they came. It describes a culture in many ways the opposite of the “intensely private” city Leon Whiteson described, with an emphasis much more on sociability and extending private and commercial realms outside and onto the street. Perhaps there’s no better example of this than LA’s CicLAvia-modeled on Bogotá’s Ciclovía-the open streets festival that brings tens of thousands of pedestrians and cyclists out onto temporarily closed streets. Latino urbanism is remaking California by adapting what already exists. David Butow’s photo essay captures this dynamic in action in California.

Abstract:
While the first half of the 20th century was mainly characterized by the importation of urban planning models from Europe and the USA to Latin America, the 1960s represent a turning point: In the context of different development theories, local planners first started to emphasize the supposed structural similarities of Latin American cities and then their parallels with other cities of the Global South. Social theorists, economists and urbanists of the time conceptualized cities not only as litmus tests of the developmental stage of the individual country, but also as motors to enable economic progress. Analyzing different Latin American architectural and urban planning publications, the article traces references toother Latin American and “Third-World” countries that grew in size in the course of the 1960s. In some cases, this even led to South-South contacts in the field of urban planning to the research of which this article is a start.

Abstract:
The LGBTQ+ movement has been advocating for their rights all over Latin America, thus each country had faced and still faces particular characteristics (legal, cultural, political and social) in order to advocate for the movement rights leading to different methodologies and theories, from anthropological narratives, to analyse it. For instance, Globalized Gayborhoods -as a typology- describe the LGBTQ+ rights status all over the world, specifically in capital cities, and therefore including some Latin-American cities. Regarding this typology, and by questioning it, we ask: How gayborhoods can be characterised in Latin America under Queer IR, internationalization, and narratives under the scope of Staller Education? Thus, we propose Gayborhoods Lat (Latin America) as places that characterise the status of the LGBTQ+ rights in the region based on Queer International Relations, internationalization, and some oral narratives from Stellar Education.

Abstract:
We summarize the history of Latin American urbanization with a focus on the evolution of cities from the colonial and post-colonial eras to the adoption of the import-substitution model of development and its subsequent replacement by a neoliberal adjustment model. Consequences for the urban system of both import-substitution and neoliberal policies are examined, with a focus on the evolution of the urban population and trends in several strategic areas. We examine indicators of unemployment and informal employment; poverty and inequality; and urban crime and victimization rates as they evolved from the import-substitution era to the implosion of the neoliberal model that replaced it in the early twenty-first century. The consequences for cities of the disastrous application of this model are summarized as a prelude to the analysis of more recent trends. Based on the latest statistical indicators available, we document a significant decline in unemployment and economic inequality in six Latin American nations that jointly comprise 80 percent of the population of the region. Employment in the informal sector also declined steadily, although it still comprises a large proportion of Latin American labor markets. Consequences of this situation for the citizenry and alternative government policies to address it are discussed.

Full text
Abstract:
The aim of the thesis Development of Smart Cities in the region of Latin America applied on the case of Mexico City and Rio de Janeiro stands on their comparison provided according to application of six axes smart city concept. Both cities provide their individual approach in their formulation and implementation of smart city initiative. According to this comparison this paper will prove that even though that there is not yet a uniform smart city definition there are indicators according to which it is possible to form a general a framework to identify smart cities. This framework will be important to prove several things about smart cities. They will be necessary for the future growth of humanity as cities become more and more important. This will happen by allowing for better functioning of cities and better use of existing resources. These cities will start to operate for their citizens in ways that lessen the impact of the environment while allowing cities to grow across multiple sectors while improving quality of life among a city s residents. This implementation of ITC technologies will prove a rising tide that will lift the city s poor by empowering their economic lives by improving quality of life and giving better access to resources. The comparison of the two cities will also prove that Rio de Janeiro through its many smart initiatives is further along in its path to becoming a smart city than Mexico City. The difference between the two will also prove just how important smart cities are to the region s future. Mexico City s projects have not been as holistic as those taken in Brazil s largest city. Rio de Janeiro s implementation of projects like COR have transformed the city allowing it to become one of the smartest cities in the region and the world. The COR has implemented ITC technologies and initiatives that have transformed every sector of the six-axes approach model.

Abstract:
Globalization has affected decentralization and greater centralized control and management within governments traditionally unconstrained by international change, city governments. City governments must be increasingly active internationally to survive in a politically decentralized global environment, especially in international trade. Trade is important to cities because it affects growth, jobs and standard of living among other contributors to local economies. The effects of globalization at the local level are manifested in three Southern U.S. cities with business-generating ports linked to Latin American and world markets: New Orleans, Houston, and Miami. This comparative case study considers the competition among New Orleans, Houston and Miami to capitalize on their complex transportation networks and increase trade with Latin America. Several variables contribute to increased trade and investment between the cities and Latin America, including local autonomy from state governments, business influence on local government policy, size of firms, and international trade policy and investment.

Full text
Abstract:
The high rates of urban growth in Latin America during the 1960s and 1970s produced rapid urbanisation and housing problems. Planning policies as well as the research community have approached urban growth as a static problem rather than as a spatial form that emerges from the urban development process and that is part of a constant dynamic process. This thesis focuses on a specific kind of urban growth that happens in Latin American cities, called 'peripherisation'. This is characterised by the formation of low-income residential areas in the peripheral ring of the city and a perpetuation of a dynamic core-periphery spatial pattern. The dynamics of growth and change in Latin American cities are explored using agent-based simulation. The objective is to increase the understanding of urban spatial phenomena in Latin American cities, which is essential to providing a basis for future planning actions and policies. The thesis consists of two parts. The first part presents an overview of urban growth and dynamics in Latin American cities, drawing on previous work on urbanisation in Latin American cities, spontaneous settlements and inner city dynamic processes. The second part focuses on the development of a simulation model based on the theoretical framework established in the first part. A brief review of the literature of automata models is presented, with particular reference to agent-based simulation for land-use dynamics. The Peripherisation Model is introduced, its computer implementation described, and sensitivity analysis tests reported. Simulation exercises were used to revisit assumptions about urbanisation issues in Latin American cities and investigate important aspects of growth and change in these cities. These exercises allowed the problem of urban growth in Latin American cities to be unfolded through their dynamics, relating these dynamics to urban morphology, and thus presenting a new and important perspective on the phenomenon.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis explores how the relationship between urban space and dissident sexualities has been represented in recent Latin American cinema. More specifically, it considers how this representation disturbs, remaps and relocates broader (hegemonic) imagined geographies of sexuality and the problematic sets of binaries around which they have been constructed. The study argues that the films in question are characterised by overtly queer urban geographies, in which sexual identity, transgression and liberation appear as highly contingent phenomena that can never wholly assume a position of exteriority in relation to hegemonic power structures. The General Introduction begins by outlining the broad conceptual framework in which my discussion is situated, tracing the relationship between cities, cinema and dissident sexuality. It then outlines the scope of the thesis as a specifically critical intervention, proposing a queer methodology with regards to the analysis of the films which follows. The chapters comprising Part One examine metropolitan spaces of dissident sexuality pertaining to the cities of Buenos Aires and Medellin as they are imagined in Un ano sin amor (Anahi Berneri, 2005) and La virgen de los sicarios (Barbet Schroder, 2000) respectively. It explores how these cities are (de)constructed as centres of (de )regulation with regards to dissident sexualities, bodies and desires. In this respect, Chapter One argues SIM as it appears in Berneri' s film to be both antithetical to and yet also highly reliant on local/global economic structures. Chapter Two, in turn, suggests that the economy of violence envisaged in Schroeder's film is both conducive and detrimental to the construction of gay identity and political consciousness. The chapters comprising Part Two progress to focus on the representation of marginal sexualised spaces in filmic depictions of Recife and Rio de Janeiro in Claudio Assis's Amarelo Manga (2002) and Karim Alnouz's Madame Sata (2002), respectively, investigating how they appear both as peripheral to and yet also highly integrated into the wider urban/global fabric. Chapter Three, in this respect, proposes the misogyny and homophobia present amongst the male characters of Assis's film to be products of 'modern' Brazil as opposed to a 'sexual hinterland' still steeped in tradition. Chapter Four, takes this discussion forward in relation to Alnouz's rendering of 1920s/30s Lapa, considering how the queer discourse I associate with the protagonist disrupts understandings of sexual emancipation as an entirely contemporary and 'foreign' phenomenon issuing solely from North Atlantic domains. Diverse in approach, the films selected, unlike the frequently polarised debates occurring in the academe, do not assume inflexible subjective positions or seek to provide coherent, fully-legible accounts of highly complex issues which defy totalising explanations. In this respect, by offering a specifically queer perspective on the way in which urban space and dissident sexualities (re )produce each other in these films, this thesis seeks to decentre current debates occurring within the domain of film studies, cultural geography, sexuality politics and urban studies, and relocate them into a Latin American context.

Abstract:
The complex nature of urban space within Latin America’s major cities limits the applicability of many empirical measures of segregation. However, the development of integrated spatial measures allows for the measurement of highly localised patterns of segregation between multiple groups across multiple dimensions. This paper presents a methodology for integrating spatial analysis and GIS tools as an explicit part of investigating the nature and patterns urban segregation. Using Lima, Peru and an example, the related processes of segregation and fragmentation are unpacked across multiple social dimensions and spatial scales. Additionally, this paper empirically tests the theoretical proposition that social groups in Latin America are becoming increasingly fragmented rather than segregated.

El estudio de la ciudad latinoamericana usualmente se hace desde sus problemáticas y no desde sus potencialidades. Este artículo sintetiza la tesina que bajo el mismo título pretende poner de relieve la particularidad de la ciudad anónima latinoamericana mediante la caracterización de sus componentes desde un enfoque positivo que permita formular estrategias para ponerla en valor dentro de su misma lógica. Studies about Latin American cities are usually carried out from standpoint of their issues, but not from their possibilities. This paper summarizes a broader research that aims to highlight the singularity of the anonymous city concept in Latin America by means of the characterization of its components. Such characterization is performed from a positive perspective that allows formulating strategies to vindicate the anonymous city within its own logic.

Abstract:
O artigo parte de uma revisão teórico-conceitual dos elementos que compõem a interpretação contemporânea do urbanismo, de forma a introduzir a discussão seus aportes teóricos – forma urbana – e metodológicos – desenho urbano e projeto urbano. Tem como objetivo a elaboração de figuras conceituais que representem e expliquem a materialização das cidades latino-americanas, que, como apontou Waisman (2013), carecem de aportes teóricos próprios, recorrendo aos aportes do Hemisfério Norte, muitas vezes inadequados ao lidar com nossa peculiar realidade sociocultural e material, baseada na figura da Espontaneidade. Inicialmente, recorre-se às diferentes interpretações acerca da disciplina, através da revisão da Historia, Teoria e Critica. Posteriormente, apresentam-se figuras conceituais, propostas como elementos mediadores entre a teoria e a prática do urbanismo em sua origem – aqui europeia – e a realidade da materialização das cidades brasileiras. The paper revises the contemporary urbanism´s theory and concepts as means of introducing its theoretical and practical approaches – urban morphology and urban projects. The main goal is to construct new concepts which represent and explain the latin-american cities´s materialization, which as pointed by Waisman (2013), lack of theorization of their own, relying on Northern Theory, many times not appropriated to the peculiar urban conditions socio cultural and materiality faced by southern cities. First we discuss the different interpretation of the discipline by means of Historic, theoretical and critical revision. In the conclusion, some conceptual figures are proposed, as mediating elements between theory and practice of urbanism in its European origin and the reality of Latin American cities.

Abstract:
This paper presents an overview of how health outcomes vary across cities in Latin America and discusses some of the known drivers of this variation. There are large disparities in outcomes across cities and across neighborhoods of the same city. Because health is closely related to the socioeconomic conditions of individuals, part of the spatial variation reflects residential segregation by income. Local characteristics also have a direct effect on health outcomes, shaping individuals' access to health services and the prevalence of unhealthy lifestyles. In addition, urban environments affect health through natural atmospheric conditions, through local infrastructure in particular water, sanitation, and urban transit and through the presence of urban externalities such as traffic congestion, pollution, crime, and the spread of transmissible diseases. The COVID-19 pandemic illustrates many of these patterns, since the impact of the disease has differed sharply across cities, and much of this variation can be explained by observable local characteristics particularly population, connectivity with other cities and countries, income levels, and residential overcrowding.

Abstract:
Cities are important drivers of productivity, innovation, and economic growth. To achieve their full economic potential, cities must deliver high-quality public services to their residents and businesses. This is very important for Latin American cities given rapid urbanization and the deepening of decentralization reforms in many countries. The extent to which they can carry out all of these responsibilities depends at least partially on their fiscal health, ability to meet their service, infrastructure, and financial obligations with the revenue available to them. This study assesses the fiscal health of 80 main cities in Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru, from 2010 to 2017, and explores the factors that drive it. A primary purpose is to provide a methodology for cities to assess their own fiscal health, given available data. As such, it helps to determine whether fiscal distress is building up in selected large cities across the region and to understand whether and how financial solvency, public service delivery, and the maintenance and expansion of urban infrastructure may be compromised.

Abstract:
This publication reports on some of the health challenges facing cities. It aims to serve as a guide for public managers and decision makers optimize the great potential of cities to improve the well-being of those who reside in the cities of Latin America and the Caribbean. It is organized in two parts. The first part, Health Inequalities in Latin American Cities, focuses on identifying the ways in which social inequality has led to negative health outcomes, in order to make visible the relevance of the challenge of inequality and the urgency to grapple with it. The second part, Urban Policies for Healthy Cities, focuses on how cities can contribute to improving the health standards in their population. The publication addresses critical issues for urban health, such as the interdependence between physical-social factors and health, the relationship between urban characteristics and the incidence of COVID-19, the connections between social inequality and exposure to pollution environment, the relationship between urban planning and gender violence, the power of urban interventions -such as public transport and social housing- to improve health indicators, and the relevance of having good data to improve the accessibility of health systems. All the contributions in this book are based on data and rigorous research, and present real cases of the cities of the region.

Gómez-Lobo, Andrés, Santiago Sánchez González, and Vileydy González Mejia. Means-tested transit subsidies in Latin America. Inter-American Development Bank, November 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0004532.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper reviews three targeted transit subsidies applied in Latin America. The Vale Transporte scheme in Brazil is the oldest, having been introduced in 1985. Household survey data for 26 metropolitan areas were used to estimate the distributional impact of the Vale Transporte. The results indicate that this program is badly targeted to low-income individuals. In 19 of the 26 cities, this subsidy is regressive. The reason is that only formal sector workers are eligible for this benefit while many low-income individuals work in the informal sector in Brazil. In addition, since this subsidy is paid by employers it is reasonable to expect compensating equilibrium effects in wages or unemployment. We present evidence that suggests that this may have occurred with wages. In contrast, Bogota and Buenos Aires have implemented demand side means-tested subsidies during the last decade. In these cases, criteria from the general welfare system are used to determine eligibility and both have been implemented using smartcard payment technology. We review the available information on the design, operation, and distributional outcomes for each case. This review provides useful information for policymakers interested in the design and implementation of targeted transit subsidies.

Full text
Abstract:
This report is the second output of the Decarbonising Transport in Latin American Cities project (DTLA), developed jointly by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and the International Transport Forum (ITF-OECD). DTLA supports transport decarbonisation in Bogota (Colombia), Buenos Aires (Argentina), and Mexico City (Mexico). These cities were selected based on their data availability about urban transport activity. As a result of this initiative, the first report describes a review of policies and key mobility challenges to deliver on a sustainable transport system. This second report presents the development and provision of a quantitative assessment tool that allows assessing the impact of transport CO2 reduction actions and respective scenarios to 2050. Both reports facilitate policy dialogue across all relevant stakeholders and supports peer learning and best practice exchange between the case study cities and beyond. Moreover, the reports bring out the need for rethinking decarbonization policies to consider their potential for achieving other benefits related with improving the quality of the transport services, closing gender equality gaps, and improving financial sustainability of current business models.

Citizen-Led Urbanism in Latin America: Superbook of civic actions for transforming cities. Inter-American Development Bank, November 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0004582.

Full text
Abstract:
This is a publication about citizen-led urbanism processes in Latin America. It follows the recent life of a movement originating from, and driven by and for citizens, who out of a compelling love for their cities, have brought together actors from all fields to co-create new, more inclusive and equitable public space models. By using tools such as innovation, creativity and co-responsible solidarity, citizen-led urbanism has been able to complement the traditional approaches to urban planning and city governance. This publication also invites us to move from the theory and concepts that provide the rationale for citizen-led urbanism to the actual practical experiences which are helping to shape it and consolidate it as a regional movement. It thus takes us on a journey through successful projects developed in different places and contexts of Latin America and looks at the experience of the first urban innovation labs, as a means to consider the paths that may lead to new horizons of an inclusive future, in view of the challenges, both known and yet to be known, of the first half of the 21st century. In less than one decade, with their impressive diversity and vigorous urban activity, members of the citizen-led urbanism movement have brought about changes in the streets, neighborhoods and cities where they live: changes in the way of thinking of authorities and fellow citizens; changes in public policies, which have an impact not only on the urban landscape, but also on how we relate to each other through our relationship with what we call “the urban” and with ecosystems, with our individual needs and with the urgency of organizing ourselves collectively to identify solutions for the common good. This is why this book became a superbook, i.e., an extensive compilation about a fabulous collective adventure, undertaken by thousands of people whose common denominator is creativity and their will to think and do things differently. We hope it may serve as an inspiration to its readers so that they, too, may take a leading role in this story.

Full text
Abstract:
In this paper we explore the possible impact of urban congestion on agglomeration economies for a cross-section set of cities in Latin America. We use travel time data from Tom Tom to estimate wage regressions equations controlling for city size and congestion. We use population in each city in the 19th and early 20th century as instruments for current city size (measures by population). In our baseline estimates, we find an elasticity of wages to city size of 0.05, very similar to previous research in the region. When congestion is included in the estimation, we find that agglomeration economies are reduced. This holds even after using rain-days and average yearly as an instrument for congestion. Our results imply that congestion is a drag on economic productivity. This indirect cost of congestion is considerably larger economically than the direct cost measured as the loss of valuable time for citizens.
