The Rehabilitation of Consolidated Irregular Settlements in Latin American Cities: Towards a Third Generation of Public Policy Housing Analysis and Development
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper – ideas in progress – reports on new research that I am developing that is intended to build and extend upon some of my early work in the field of Latin American low-income housing and urban policy development, and which also looks head-on at the issue of urban rehabilitation. However, unlike most of that genre of work which focuses upon the historic core of cities, this research examines the need housing rehabilitation of older “consolidated” informally produced settlements. In many cases these formed informally some 25-30 years ago and were successfully upgraded, but now, after intense usage they are often highly dilapidated and deteriorated. The proposed study locations are: Buenos Aires (Argentina), Bogotá (Colombia), Caracas (Venezuela), Lima (Peru), Mexico City (Mexico), Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), and Santiago (Chile).
