Recenzii
"Latin America and the Caribbean are among the most urbanized regions of the world. This multidisciplinary handbook brings together leading scholars, predominantly from within the region, to assess critical aspects of urban space, inequality, and policy. It fills a crucial need, and promises to become a key resource for anyone who studies or teaches about cities."
Dr. Michael B. Kahan, Program on Urban Studies and Department of Sociology, Stanford University, USA
"This book is an excellent and timely instruction manual on urban studies in Latin America and the Caribbean that will be of great use to researchers in the field."
Dr. Huhua Cao, Professor at the University of Ottawa, Canada
"This handbook presents a comprehensive discussion and overview on the urban phenomena in Latin America and the Caribbean. The cities and the urban reality of the region is approached by authors coming from different scientific backgrounds, together they convincingly challenge both historical and present development patterns to promote urban equity and sustainability."
Dr. Jorgelina Hardoy, Senior Researcher and Coordinator of the International Institute for Environment and Development, IIED – LATIN AMERICA
"This handbook is an appealing, massive, and multidisciplinary effort to broadcast current critical debates on urban studies in the region. The book will undoubtedly become a reference for analyzing the trajectories, specificities, inequalities, challenges, and policy options of the urban process in Latin America and the Caribbean."
Dr. Andrea Carrión, Instituto de Altos Estudios Nacionales, IAEN, and FLACSO (Ecuador)
"The authors of this book have given us a profound sense of an emerging modernity. It is a modernity marked by multiple novel conditions, constraints, enablements, and destructions. This will become a must read book. It is a major contribution to our understanding of a series of changes we are currently experiencing."
Dr. Saskia Sassen, The Robert S. Lynd Professor of Sociology, Columbia University, New York City, USA
"The Routledge Handbook of Urban Studies in Latin America and the Caribbean offers a wealth of insights into the many urgent contemporary challenges facing cities in LAC....This handbook succeeds as a valuable multidisciplinary effort to critically assess the current debates on urban issues in the region. It is also a noteworthy contribution to our understanding of contemporary societies’ present and future challenges."
Alejandra Trejo-Nieto, El Colegio de Mexico, for the Journal of Urban Affairs
"By addressing both general overviews and detailed investigations on subjects such as planning, heritage, public health, mobility, class, gender, and race, this handbook provides valuable insights into the complex urbanization process and the challenges faced by those living in cities within Latin America and the Caribbean. Unlike previous studies that have predominantly focused on North America’s urbanization patterns, this handbook is a much-needed contribution that strives to analyze Latin American and Caribbean cities in relation to their unique urban processes and policies."
Ivis Garcia, Texas A&M University, for the Journal of Planning Literature
"[This book] makes a substantial contribution to both theoretical and practical aspects of urban studies in the region. The theoretical discussions deepen our understanding of LAC urban dynamics, challenge prevailing narratives, encourage interdisciplinary collaboration, and advance research. The practical insights, case studies, and policy recommendations inform decision-making and lay the ground for future work in the region’s cities."
