    Living in the city beyond housing: urbanism of the commons
    (Taylor and Francis, 2021-05-06)
    Building from the definition of urbanism as the study of the physical needs of urban societies, the author highlights the importance of those needs and activities that are necessarily communal and cannot be reproduced and managed at the individual or small-scale local level and which sustain dwelling in the city. With the rise of capitalism and the accompanying commodification of space at a global scale, urbanism has prioritised the market value of both land and housing. Presently, urbanisation processes are dominated by one political-economic trend influencing urbanisation processes across the planet: neoliberalisation and three of its most fundamental and interrelated consequences on urban centres: privatisation, commodification and individualism. Social mobilisation was geared towards obtaining land titles and basic services and, once those demands are met, communal organisation and mobilisation is greatly debilitated.

    Urban planning as a pedagogical experience in intermediate cities in northern Peru, 2011–2016
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2022-01-01)
    Intermediate cities have undergone important transformations in this century and face major challenges. Local governments, however, lack sufficient skills to tackle them, favoring short-term actions in the face of planning’s inefficiency and lack of legitimacy. The Transversal project embeds into the urban planning process of smaller intermediate cities the co-production of a territorial project with the participation of local actors in a series of sequential workshops, linking research activities, academic courses, training of officials, and development of specific plans and projects. This participatory methodology links the short- and long-term urban planning in local management and leads to a reformulation of academic methodologies in urban interventions, both in the assessment of firsthand qualitative information and in harmonizing local and academic time frames. The sequential workshops constitute the backbone of planning as a pedagogical experience, questioning the academic activities’ continuity and their integration to local development.
