Este viaje por lugares extremos en América Latina empieza en México, a la sombra de una inmensa barriada de viviendas sociales de la década de 1960, cuando las colmenas de pisos baratos parecían la solución a la escasez de vivienda. Sigue visitando las villas miseria de Buenos Aires, los cerros de Caracas, las favelas de Río, las casas ampliables de Chile, las laderas de Medellín ahora salvadas por el Metrocable y diversas iniciativas de vivienda social planteadas con espíritu práctico, creatividad y una mirada al futuro. Desde mediados del siglo XX, cuando la utopía del movimiento moderno se fue a América Latina para morir, la región se ha convertido en un campo de pruebas para las concepciones más radicales de lo que es una ciudad. Aquí, en el continente más urbanizado del planeta, las ciudades extremas han dado pie a situaciones extremas. Justin McGuirk las ha recorrido y vivido y el resultado es este libro radical, imprescindible para interesados en la política, el urbanismo y las maneras de vivir en el siglo XXI.

What makes the city of the future? How do you heal a divided city? In Radical Cities, Justin McGuirk travels across Latin America in search of the activist architects, maverick politicians and alternative communities already answering these questions. From Brazil to Venezuela, and from Mexico to Argentina, McGuirk discovers the people and ideas shaping the way cities are evolving. Ever since the mid twentieth century, when the dream of modernist utopia went to Latin America to die, the continent has been a testing ground for exciting new conceptions of the city. An architect in Chile has designed a form of social housing where only half of the house is built, allowing the owners to adapt the rest; Medellín, formerly the world’s murder capital, has been transformed with innovative public architecture; squatters in Caracas have taken over the forty-five-story Torre David skyscraper; and Rio is on a mission to incorporate its favelas into the rest of the city. Here, in the most urbanised continent on the planet, extreme cities have bred extreme conditions, from vast housing estates to sprawling slums. But after decades of social and political failure, a new generation has revitalised architecture and urban design in order to address persistent poverty and inequality. Together, these activists, pragmatists and social idealists are performing bold experiments that the rest of the world may learn from. Radical Cities is a colorful journey through Latin America—a crucible of architectural and urban innovation.

La Ciudad Radical es el resultado de largos años de investigación académica en torno a la cuestión de la convivencia humana y a la fantástica y radical capacidad creadora de las sociedades, al imaginario social y a la ciudad como su gran obra. En última instancia, un manifiesto en defensa de la fantasía como potencia creadora, como característica fundamentalmente humana, que evidencia la unidad que se da en el ser humano entre el interior y el exterior, entre el pasado y el futuro, entre idea y acto, entre imagen y materia. Y como decía el Novalis de Borges, "Nosotros (la indivisa divinidad que opera en nosotros) hemos soñado el mundo ̈. Hemos soñado la ciudad, hemos inventado la convivencia. En lo imaginario, y en el imaginario, reside la infinita y reiterativa capacidad de la sociedad para inventarse y re-inventarse, para crearse y re-crearse en el mundo, a través de la ciudad. Es la imaginación la que nos ha permitido habitar el mundo construyendo, y construir el mundo habitándolo. El mundo tal como lo vivimos y como lo vemos, es la fantasía de lo humano, "el gran edificio invisible que habitamos". Una gran invención que nos permite estar en él. La imaginación es la condición de la propia existencia humana. La tentativa de catálogo de ciudades radicales intenta ser un atlas abierto de los límites imaginarios de la convivencia colectiva, de invenciones humanas, de ejemplos de ciudades, radicales y fantásticas, una colección de tipos y arquetipos que se han repetido a lo largo de la historia, desde que el ser es ser, desde el origen de las primeras sociedades. Llamo al catálogo "tentativa" porque un catálogo siempre es abierto. Abierto en un doble sentido, en sentido de inacabado, siempre caben futuras revisiones, adiciones, modificaciones, alteraciones de orden... y en el sentido de permitir multitud lecturas y posibilidades abiertas de interpretación.

This book focuses on the implementation of slum upgrading projects and the last generation of citywide programmes that define the future urban configuration of informal settlements, from a citywide perspective, in the Earth’s tropical region. The book presents a study on regeneration experiences in Asia and Latin America and it identifies important points of connection and similarities between the two cases, while also determining that, compared to Asia, informality in Latin America is in its ‘second generation.’

This book highlights current concepts of Social Urbanism, the contemporary set of multiple and interdisciplinary urban studies that have emerged mainly from the complex realities of Latin American cities. The discussion that follows places special emphasis on public land policy and the innovative urban instruments developed in that region to promote social and territorial inclusion. Critical reflections throughout the pages of this book shed light into the local context of each case-study in order to understand their specific set of challenges and opportunities. Relevant lessons are extracted from the three cities here analyzed, the medium-scale city of Medellin, the large-scale city of Bogota, and the megacity of Sao Paulo, as well as from local innovative experiences in Argentina and Uruguay. These cities underwent promising transformation processes over two decades, applying planning and financing instruments of land policy which have produced significant shifts in the urban development paradigm in the region. The quest for social inclusion has emerged as the common denominator in these cities, awakening growing interest across several fields of urban studies, from public policies and city management to urban law, city financing, urban development, and innovative community participation processes. The book brings implications on urban land policy for transition cities in the Global South. The question of social inclusion in Global South cities is however far from being solved; the analysis presented in this book shows advances and hope, besides a long path still ahead, which can only be faced through a continuous and challenging incremental process. May this book be an incremental step.

This book explores the process of modernisation during the Porfiriato and the Conservative republic from the perspective of one of its most erratic agents: the urban police. Taking a pragmalinguistic approach, this book examines police bureaucratic, journalistic, and literary writing practices that flourished in the wake of police professionalisation and in response to the demands of state expansion, urban order, and cultural disciplining. It outlines the precarious state of an institution that had to redefine itself in the face of change, as well as policemen’s attempts to enforce and imagine different modes of doing modern estate, society, and culture. Integrating classical sociological theories and perspectives from Latin American police studies with debates on republican modernity, this study argues for an understanding of fin-de-siècle modernisation as a process of radical transformation rather than a maladaptation to Western modernity or blunt heteronomy. With its comparative approach and theoretically informed analysis, this book will appeal to scholars exploring police formation in Argentina and Mexico, seeking new insights into this key period of national organisation, and questioning the premises underlying the interpretation of modernity. The transdisciplinary approach will be of interest to researchers of writing cultures and postgraduate students wishing to engage critically with the sources of history.

This collection presents critical and action-oriented approaches to addressing food systems inequities across places, spaces, and scales. With case studies from around the globe, Radical Food Geographies explores interconnections between power structures and the social and ecological dynamics that bring food from the land and water to our plates. Through themes of scale, spatial imaginaries, and human and more-than-human relationships, the authors explore ongoing efforts to co-construct more equitable and sustainable food systems for all. Advancing a radical food geographies praxis, the book reveals multiple forms of resistance and resurgence, and offers examples of co-creating food systems transformation through scholarship, action, and geography.

It argues that the possibility of achieving justice in these regions lies beyond market and State and is yet to come. This book appeals to a wide range of scholars, ranging from national literature and film specialists of Argentina, Chile, and Spain, to philosophers and students of ethics, human rights, and questions of justice.
