Relatoría del Seminario Internacional “Ciudad e Inclusión: Por el derecho a la Ciudad” Bogotá, 7 y 8 de Octubre de 2003
Quiero agradecer a los organizadores la oportunidad que me brindan de elaborar y presentar a ustedes esta relatoría del evento. No se trata de reproducir lo que se ha discutido, sino contarles el procesamiento que he hecho a partir de las exposiciones realizadas. Es más una interpretación que un relato de lo ocurrido.
Hemos sido partícipes de un Seminario Internacional que ha tenido una estructura compuesta por dos tipos de exposiciones: ponencias con temas transversales importantes para las ciudades …
Espacio Público: Punto De Partida Para La Alteridad, Fernando Carrión Mena
Espacio Público: Punto De Partida Para La Alteridad, Fernando Carrión Mena
Fernando Carrión Mena
El presente artículo busca colocar en la discusión algunas ideas –todavía en estado primario- sobre el espacio público, debido a la importancia que tiene para producir ciudad, generar integración social y construir el respeto al otro (pedagogía de la alteridad). Adicionalmente, el espacio público ha adquirido un significativo peso en los debates sobre la ciudad y en la agenda de las políticas urbanas; lo cual no es casual que así ocurra, porque se ha convertido en uno de los temas de mayor confrontación social respecto de la ciudad.
Hoy la crisis urbana ha determinado un posicionamiento de los modelos de …
La Ciudad Y Su Gobierno Municipal, Fernando Carrión Mena
La Ciudad Y Su Gobierno Municipal, Fernando Carrión Mena
Fernando Carrión Mena
El Municipio en la América Latina española tuvo su origen en el cabildo colonial, constituido como instancia de gobierno local. Aunque seguía el modelo español traído por los conquistadores, tuvo mayor importancia que en España debido a la distancia que lo separaba del poder central. Sin embargo, no debe perderse de vista que, si bien esa apreciable autonomía se ejerció respecto de la Corona, era dependiente de ciertos grupos minoritarios locales (los criollos). De allí que no hubo una clara separación entre lo público y ]0 privado, al extremo de que en ambas esferas se compartía el ejercicio de la …
Land Values As A Source Of Local Government Finance, Tom Dunne
Land Values As A Source Of Local Government Finance, Tom Dunne
Books/Book Chapters
Funding local government has been a permanent feature of debates about public policy in Ireland and Many feel that the balance of power between local and central government is weighted too much in
This paper suggests that the concept of economic rent, on which the justification for property taxes rests and its relevance to the property market in a modern, economically successful and urbanised Ireland, needs to be vented, discussed and debated.
The proposition is that if a greater understanding was created about the economic characteristics of landed property both value capture and local property taxes would achieve greater public …

En Busca De La Ciudad Perdida, Fernando Carrión Mena
Fernando Carrión Mena
En septiembre de 1993, Felipe Burbano en aquel entonces Director del Diario HOY, tuvo la gentileza de invitarme a participar en el periódico. No dudé respecto del honor que me hacía, así como tampoco de la importancia que revestía el trascender con algunas opiniones especializadas a nivel masivo.
Pero nunca me imaginé el significado real de la propuesta hasta cuando empecé a redactar los primeros artículos. Sin duda, sentir el "estrés" de la periodicidad semanal dominar la exigencia temática y asumir la responsabilidad de la opinión me tomaron su tiempo. Incluso hoy luego de un año sigo por la senda …

Models Of Urban Governance And Planning In Latin America And The United States: Associationism, Regime Theory, And Communicative Action, Clara Irazabal
Models Of Urban Governance And Planning In Latin America And The United States: Associationism, Regime Theory, And Communicative Action, Clara Irazabal
Clara Irazabal
In many American and Latin American cities alike, urban governance and planning are either in urgent need of reform or are currently undergoing haphazard reform. In many cases, innovative attempts to implement reforms have failed because the inability of cities to develop their 'civic capacity' -- the capacity to build and maintain broad social and political multi-sectoral coalitions in pursuit of common goals. This article argues that these significant points of convergence are productive building blocks for the construction of more generalizable models of urban governance and planning in democratic cities in the Americas and beyond. It situates coalition and …

Memoria De Una Gestión. Flacso 1996-2000, Fernando Carrión Mena
Fernando Carrión Mena
Más de ocho años han pasado desde octubre de 1995 en que me fue encargada la Dirección de FLACSO-Ecuador, ante la renuncia de la directora de aquel momento; la posterior elección, en abril de 1996, por la Asamblea del Sistema Internacional de FLACSO, y la reelección por un segundo período en el año 2000.
En estos años no han sido pocos los desafíos de construir una institucionalidad reconocida en el ámbito de las Ciencias Sociales en nuestro país y en América Latina. Sin embargo han sido mucho más las satisfacciones de afianzar un proyecto común, con un equipo de trabajo …
La Ciudad Y La Diversidad, Fernando Carrión Mena
La Ciudad Y La Diversidad, Fernando Carrión Mena
Fernando Carrión Mena
A continuación voy a plantearles tres temas alrededor de la relación entre ciudad y diversidad. El primer punto a tratar parte de un orden conceptual para entender de mejor manera lo que significa la diversidad dentro de la ciudad. El segundo punto versará sobre la forma en que la diversidad se expresa dentro de la ciudad y el tercero, cómo se puede reconstruir la unidad urbana a partir de la diversidad.
Actualmente la ciudad se define a partir de dos consideraciones importantes: la primera que es una definición antigua del inglés Louis Wirth, que perteneció a la Escuela de Chicago …
The University As A Contributor To The Local Economy: Key Thoughts For Local Planners, John Mullin, Zenia Kotval
The University As A Contributor To The Local Economy: Key Thoughts For Local Planners, John Mullin, Zenia Kotval
Landscape Architecture & Regional Planning Faculty Publication Series
As we move into the twenty-first century, economic development officials are increasingly attempting to find new ways to "jump start" their local economies. Traditionally, this has involved, among others, finding appropriate land, ensuring there is adequate infrastructure, helping to train the local workforce, bringing financial institutions on board and assisting local entrepreneurs to bring their ideas to the market place. More recently, it has been also oriented toward ensuring that human capital is being invested into the community such that the local schools, recreation facilities, cultural attractions and public safety systems are all first rate. What has been too frequently …
Planning For Retail Activities In Small Downtowns: Towards A Pragmatic Approach, John Mullin, Zenia Kotval
Planning For Retail Activities In Small Downtowns: Towards A Pragmatic Approach, John Mullin, Zenia Kotval
Landscape Architecture & Regional Planning Faculty Publication Series
Over the past twenty years there has been an enormous shift in terms of retail activity in our downtowns. The changes that have occurred have influenced where and how we shop, where we live and how we define the centers of our communities. As these have evolved, planners have constantly attempted to react and adapt. At times, they have been quite sucessful while, more often, they have been frustrated. What is most perplexing is that the shifts show no signs of abating. It is an exciting time to be undertaking downtown planning!

Das Problem Der Offentlichen Sicherheit In Der Andengemeinschaft, Fernando Carrión Mena
Fernando Carrión Mena
Stadtische Gewalt ist sicherlich so alt wie die Stadt selbst; trotzdem ist kaum zu bestreiten, dass sie sich in den letzten Jahren unter anderem aufgrund ihrer veranderten Erscheinungsformen, ihrer sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Auswirkungen und ihrer alarmierenden Zunahme zu einem der dringlichsten Probleme der heutigen Andenstadte entwickelt hat. Die Gewalttatigkeit hat mittlerweile alle Lander und Stadte der Region erfasst, wobei allerdings stadt- und kulturspezifische Besonderheiten und Intensitaten zu beobachten sind.
Die massive Ausbreitung dieser Gewalt lasst sich in den Stadten der Region sowohl am faktischen Anstieg der Straftaten als auch an ihrer veranderten Wahrnehmung seitens der Bev61kerung festmachen und führt zu …

La Inseguridad Ciudadana En La Comunidad Andina, Fernando Carrión Mena
Fernando Carrión Mena
Durante los últimos años, la violencia urbana se ha convertido en uno de los temas más relevantes en la región andina, debido a las nuevas formas que asume, a los impactos sociales y económicos y al incremento de su magnitud!. Las violencias se han extendido en todos los países y ciudades de la región con peculiaridades y ritmos propios, provocando cambios en las urbes. Allí, las transformaciones en el urbanismo (amurallamiento de la ciudad, nuevos modos de segregación residencial), en los comportamientos de la población (angustia, desamparo), en la interacción social (reducción de la ciudadanía, nuevas formas de socialización) y …

La Descentralización: Una Perspectiva Comparada Entre América Latina Y Europa, Fernando Carrión Mena
Fernando Carrión Mena
LA DESCENTRALIZACIÓN COMO AMBITO DE CONFLICTO
La descentralización implica una readecuación de las relaciones entre el Estado y la sociedad para equilibrar los poderes dentro del Estado, tanto entre las funciones ejecutivas, legislativas y judiciales (descentralización horizontal), como entre los poderes de la nación, la provincia y el municipio (descentralización vertical).
La descentralización es consustancial al proceso de democratización del Estado, en tanto redefine la centralidad, es decir, el poder, dentro de la estructura estatal y, además, replantea las formas de representación y participación de la población. La descentralización es un proceso que forma parte de la reforma del Estado …

Futures Thinking To Achieve Sustainable Development At Local Level In Ireland, Lorcan Sirr, Ruth Kelly, John Ratcliffe
Futures Thinking To Achieve Sustainable Development At Local Level In Ireland, Lorcan Sirr, Ruth Kelly, John Ratcliffe
Reports
We are living in times of unprecedented global change and upheaval and over the next ten to 20 years governments, organisations and individuals will face increasing difficulties in an environment of growing complexity, heightened uncertainty and a quickening pace of change. The concept of sustainable development implies the reconciliation of long-term socio-economic development, environmental protection and quality of life; essentially it is concerned with the future. Unfortunately, the potential for linking “futures thinking” to debates about sustainable development at local and regional government levels is relatively undeveloped, particularly in Ireland. Responding to this challenge, The Futures Academy at Technological University …

All Party Oireachtas Committee On The Constitution Ninth Progress Report, Tom Dunne
Reports
Ireland, like many other countries with high rates of economic growth, is urbanising rapidly. There has been considerable emphasis on planning for this through the National Development Plan, the National Spatial Strategy, development guidelines and other measures. Through these the state intends that a proper planning process will lead growth rather than leaving it to market forces to drive development in what are regarded as undesirable directions. The latter it is feared will lead to unsuitable social, economic or physical outcomes. Unintended results have flowed from the implementation, or flawed implementation of many of these policies and have given rise …

The Future Of Sustainable Development: A European Perspective, Ruth Kelly

We are living in times of turbulence and complex changes without precedent in history. It is becoming increasingly evident that humans are an intrinsic component of nature in that their actions affect both the biotic and abiotic environments, and are in turn affected by everything that shapes those environments. In evolutionary terms, population growth, societal restructuring, exhaustion of natural resources and technological advancements have usually been so slow as to be indiscernible during an individual lifetime. However, in the past two centuries the global economy has shown exponential growth, transforming the character of the planet and especially of human life …

Phineas Paist And The Architecture Of Coral Gables, Florida, Nicholas Patricios
Phineas Paist And The Architecture Of Coral Gables, Florida, Nicholas Patricios
Nicholas Patricios
Coral Gables in South Florida is lauded as one of America's finest early 20th century planned developments. It was the vision of George Merrick, the city's founder and master builder, to create a completely planned development. The architect Phineas Paist (1875-1937) played a major role in realizing Merrick's dream for Coral Gables as "colorist," "supervisor," and "designer." To better understand Paist’s ideas, his architecture, and his contribution to the architecture of Coral Gables it is necessary to examine his education and experiences during his formative years prior to his arrival in Coral Gables.
