Item type:Publication, Pérdida de bosques amazónicos por expansión urbana en el Perú(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Instituto de la Naturaleza, Tierra y Energía (INTE-PUCP), 2023-08-29)The occupation of peri-urban areas in the eight largest Amazonian cities is studied, along with its impact on forest conservation, in order to identify conditions associated with greater or lesser loss of peri-urban forests. For this purpose, a comparative analysis of demographic and spatial indicators is conducted, as well as a spatial analysis of recent urban growth over forested areas. Furthermore, challenges for the conservation of peri-urban forests are discussed based on key territorial dynamics and existing mechanisms for territorial planning and management. It is identified that the greater pressure from urban growth on peri-urban forests is mainly linked to migratory processes and regional economic dynamics related to mining and tourism activities. Likewise, the trend towards reduced population and housing density in new expansion areas, along with an increase in the real estate supply for secondary residences, poses a threat to sustainability. Peri-urban roads concentrate deforestation areas and future urban expansion, highlighting the need to enhance mechanisms for environmental impact assessment of road infrastructure and focus efforts on sustainable land management measures in these zones. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, From urban informality to the speculative urban regime: A comparative analysis of three cities in Peru(Ministerio de Fomento, 2024-12-18)In this article we propose the concept of speculative urban regime to confront criticism of the concept of informality, and to describe the contemporary conditions of production of urban space in Peru since 2000. For this purpose, a comparative study of three areas of expansion in Arequipa, Lima and Tacna in Peru, and 91 semi-structured interviews were applied, as well as analysis of secondary and socio-spatial information. The results show that the modes of production of urban space in the three cities of Peru are based on the land dispute with fine speculations. The state apparatus, private companies, criminal networks and civil associations participate in this process in a synergistic manner and with social and legal agreements. The findings allow us to discuss the concept of “speculative urban regime” as a bid to explain the complexity of the power relations involved in the production of urban land on the margins of Peruvian cities.
