Uncertain Regional Urbanism in Venezuela explores the changes
cities face when they become metropolises, forming expanding
regions which create both potential and problems within
settlements. To do so, it focuses on three metropolitan areas
located in Venezuela's Center-North region: Caracas, Maracay and
Valencia, designated as "Camava." Considering three core topics,
government and territorial administration, infrastructure and
environment, as well as looking at the reciprocal impact, this book
describes and analyzes the determinant variables that characterize
the phenomenon of regional urbanization in this area and in the
wider Global South. It includes documentary research,
semi-structured interviews and Delphi methodology, involving a
total of forty experts from different disciplines to build a
comprehensive outlook on the situation. This book presents a
broader understanding of the region to encourage a more sustainable
and knowledge-based development plan, moving away from the
exploitation of natural resources, with six future-oriented
scenarios to consider. This is a much-needed study in the urban
regions of Venezuela, which will be of interest to academics and
researchers in Latin American studies, the Global South,
architecture and planning.
