Opportunities and Deprivation in the Urban South
Contending that everyday sociability and social networks are central elements to an understanding of urban poverty, Opportunities and Deprivation in the Urban South draws on detailed research conducted in São Paulo in an examination of the social networks of individuals who identify as poor. The book uses a multi-methods approach not only to test the importance of networks, but also to disentangle the effects of networks and segregation and to specify the relational and spatial mechanisms associated with the production of poverty. It thus explores the different types of network that exist amongst the metropolitan poor, the conditions that shape and influence them, their consequences for the production of poverty and the mechanisms through which networks influence daily living conditions. A rigorous examination of poverty in a contemporary megacity, Opportunities and Deprivation in the Urban South will appeal to sociologists, political scientists and geographers with interests in urban studies, poverty and segregation and social networks.
Urban Policy in the Framework of the 2030 Agenda
The book provides comparative information about the materialization of the 2030 Agenda in urban policy in ten countries located in Europe and Latin America. The Declaration of Quito is the starting point for the implementation of SDGs into public policies in urban areas. However, there are fewer efforts to understand the impact that the 2030 Agenda and, specifically, the instruments developed for its application in cities. The information of each country is presented in relation to two aspects: the construction of a public policy style in each country and the results and impacts on urban public policies implemented in specific cities within the national frameworks. The first means the emerge...
The Connected City
The Connected City explores how thinking about networks helps make sense of modern cities: what they are, how they work, and where they are headed. Cities and urban life can be examined as networks, and these urban networks can be examined at many different levels. The book focuses on three levels of urban networks: micro, meso, and macro. These levels build upon one another, and require distinctive analytical approaches that make it possible to consider different types of questions. At one extreme, micro-urban networks focus on the networks that exist within cities, like the social relationships among neighbors that generate a sense of community and belonging. At the opposite extreme, macro...

Rio por inteiro
Como fizemos a diferença para tecer a cidadania na metrópole do Rio de Janeiro? A luta pelo direito à cidade assume uma premissa singular quando é realizada por sujeitos que têm origem nas múltiplas periferias da metrópole fluminense. Henrique Silveira é de Imbariê — Caxias, Baixada Fluminense —: território em que seus moradores há gerações lutam por direitos na metrópole fluminense. A Casa Fluminense vem há dez anos construindo uma potente rede com organizações da sociedade civil, coletivos, movimentos e lideranças sociais comprometidos com a construção de uma metrópole mais justa no Rio por inteiro. Henrique é geógrafo e gestor público. Sua participação e liderança na Casa por dez anos anuncia estratégias e caminhos ao nos perguntarmos: como faremos a diferença para tecer a cidadania na metrópole do Rio nos próximos dez anos?

As contradições do lulismo
Desdobrando as análises de André Singer sobre o "lulismo", o livro busca incorporar uma avaliação sobre o "ensaio desenvolvimentista" tentado pelo governo Dilma no marco do pós crise internacional de 2008 e oferecer uma interpretação original sobre o saldo do percurso lulista desde a vitória do PT nas eleições presidenciais de 2002 no contexto mais amplo da experiência modernizadora brasileira. Nas palavras da economista Leda Paulani, que assina o texto de orelha do livro, os ensaios aqui reunidos revelam que "o lulismo repetiu como farsa a tragédia do sonho desenvolvimentista anterior, que durou cinquenta anos e foi desfigurado pelo conservadorismo militar". Inspirados pelas obs...
