Item type:Publication, How much local autonomy is good for a city? An analysis of the Peruvian constitutional design for cities and its effects in the case of the Lima Metropolitan Area(Springer, 2021-01-01)The decentralization reform that started in Peru in 2002, which divided the country into regions, provinces and districts, was initially regarded as a just and long-postponed project. However, while the constitution grants all local governments political, economic and administrative autonomy, the rapid population growth many cities have experienced since then calls for the reevaluation of the whole design. This is especially the case for the Lima Metropolitan Area, of which the population has more than doubled since the 1980s. This chapter analyses the effects that being divided into various autonomous districts can have for the governance of a metropolis. We argue that the division causes practical difficulties for reasons rooted in the Peruvian constitutional design, and that this fragmentation hinders the provision of public services, reduces long-term planning and may cause spending inefficiencies. A reexamination of this flawed constitutional design for its cities could be the first step for Peru to finally adapt to its new urban reality as well as to keep up with future changes. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Migration and residence: Vulnerabilities and assets in the rental market in Metropolitan Lima(Universidad de Chile, 2024-01-01)Given that housing is a key element for security, access to resources, and the integration of migrant individuals, we inquire, concerning the rental market, about the forms of vulnerability to which they are exposed and the resources used (or not) to confront them. We present the case of Lima, the city that has received the largest number of Venezuelan migrants (1.1 million) in recent years. As an exploratory study, we conducted 37 interviews with tenants (27 Venezuelan migrants, 10 Peruvians). We analyzed the cases for each group, seeking common problems and strategies to address them. We found that Venezuelan individuals face challenges in searching for and staying in housing not only due to their restricted citizenship and employment in the informal sector, but also due to their limited access to social resources. As a result, they are more exposed to critical events and must confront them on their own. Consequently, their vulnerability is greater, and their housing tenure is always unstable. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Segregated Trajectories, Isolated Lives: Venezuelan Migrants in Metropolitan Lima(Universidad Nacional de Colombia::will be referenced::ROR-ID, 2023-01-01)We ask about the logic behind the residential trajectories of migrant population and their effect in the composition of their social bonds. We introduce the case of Lima, the city with the largest number of Venezuelan migrants in the continent, where we collected a total of 37 interviews (27 to Venezuelans, 10 to Peruvians for the aim of comparison). We found that the residential trajectories of migrants are strongly linked to the locations of their jobs. However, since they change jobs often, they also change their places of residence. These residential changes and their intense job schedules, make their social bonds to be temporary, having to re-make them with each residential change. As a consequence, immigrant population's segregation is not only spatial, but supposes encapsulated lives, with few permanent ties and several disposable ties along their trajectories.
