Spatial Justice and Informal Settlements: Integral Urban Projects
in the Comunas of Medellin links the discourses of informal
urbanism and spatial justice in the context of public space-based
governmental programmes to upgrade informal settlements in Latin
America. It argues for the importance of combining measures for
equity and empowerment with positive recognition, i.e. recognition
which is based on valuing the social and material achievements of
the settlers as a contribution to urban life and culture in its own
right. It presents an inquiry into how public open spaces serve the
goal of increasing spatial justice and the quality of life in
informal settlements. It provides an in-depth study of the Integral
Urban Project (Proyecto Urbano Integral/PUI in Spanish) in Comuna
13, a low-income settlement in Medellin, Colombia. Drawing on
extensive fieldwork to understand people's everyday spaces and
socio-spatial practices, the book assesses the design, production,
use, and management of some of the public open spaces established
under the PUI programme. It thus also offers an account of the
diversity of everyday open spaces and landscapes in this informal
settlement. This book is a valuable contribution to the field of
open spaces in informal settlements and spatial justice, especially
for scholars, researchers, and graduate students with an interest
in urban development and upgrading and related socio-spatial issues
in Latin America.
