Urban Planning for Social Justice in Latin America explores how
urban planning can be used as a tool for social equity. The book
examines several Latin American cities, each with specific
challenges, and explores how they have gradually overcome these
difficulties through policies, planning, and design, and with
private/public sector coordination. The cases include: The built
environment and social mobility in Bogotá; Mexico City and its
difficulties with water scarcity; Addressing air quality and
environmental justice in Lima; Santiago de Chile’s energy
consumption and carbon footprint; Buenos Aires and the issue of
urban agriculture and food security; Connectivity as a social
transformation device in Medellín. The book goes beyond simply
identifying the challenges and explains some of the practical
day-to-day planning efforts, including interviews with staff from
those municipalities, illustrations, and strategies that have been
successful. As a result, this book will be helpful to planners in
the region, as well as outside Latin America, because it
demonstrates how fruitful results can be achieved in areas
typically perceived as underdeveloped. Although based on research
and data, this book offers a positive perspective on the
possibilities rather than the limitations, hoping to inspire new
generations of planners to pursue careers in search of social
change.
