For What It‘S Worth: Regional Equity, Community Organizing, And Metropolitan America, 2010 Occidental College
For What It‘S Worth: Regional Equity, Community Organizing, And Metropolitan America, Manuel Pastor Jr., Chris Benner, Martha Matsuoka
Martha Matsuoka
Regional equity has taken off as a field of research and activism in recent years. Within the general field, three important variants have emerged: community development regionalism, in which the main interest is in using regional levers to promote a new form of community revitalization; policy change regionalism, in which the main emphasis is on shifting government rules to better distribute metropolitan resources; and social movement regionalism, in which the focus is on mobilizing communities for collective action at a regional level. Drawing on a series of case studies from across the country, we argue that all these variants have …

Fútbol Y Violencia: Las Razones De Una Sin Razón, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq.
Fernando Carrión Mena
El conflicto es consustancial al fútbol, porque encarna una disputa entre dos bandos que buscan la victoria por todos los medios a su alcance. Pero esta disputa no siempre es pacífica, tanto que el juego está impregnado por la incorporación de los principios, categorías y leguajes de la guerra. Allí la estrategia y la táctica como organizadores pacíficos del conflicto. El disparo de misiles, la existencia de bombazos, el cobro de tiros libres y la falta máxima de un penal. Un jugador potente es el tanque Hurtado, si tiene un tiro fuerte será el Cañoncito Peñaherrera o si el defensa …

Right To The Suburb? Rethinking Lefebvre And Immigrant Activism, 2010 Columbia University
Right To The Suburb? Rethinking Lefebvre And Immigrant Activism, Clara Irazabal, Genevieve Carpio, Laura Pulido
Clara Irazabal
In the face of increasing migration by Latinos to suburbs and multi-scalar policies criminalizing immigrants, municipalities are increasingly confronting the question, Who has the Right to the Suburb? We seek to better understand how the tensions between suburbanites and Latino immigrants are addressed by municipal governments as immigration enforcement is increasingly rescaled to the local level. Case studies of Maywood and Costa Mesa in Southern California suggest responses are by no means similar and can actually be contrasting, given the city’s historical trajectories, socio-economic status, political leadership, and networks of activists. Suburban struggles are often assumed to be conservative and …

Bicycle Commuting In Melbourne During The 2000s Energy Crisis: A Semiparametric Analysis Of Intraday Volumes, 2010 Melbourne Business School
Bicycle Commuting In Melbourne During The 2000s Energy Crisis: A Semiparametric Analysis Of Intraday Volumes, Michael S. Smith, Goeran Kauermann
Michael Stanley Smith
Cycling is attracting renewed attention as a mode of transport in western urban environments, yet the determinants of usage are poorly understood. In this paper we investigate some of these using intraday bicycle volumes collected via induction loops located at ten bike paths in the city of Melbourne, Australia, between December 2005 and June 2008. The data are hourly counts at each location, with temporal and spatial disaggregation allowing for the impact of meteorology to be measured accurately for the first time. Moreover, during this period petrol prices varied dramatically and the data also provide a unique opportunity to assess …
Homelessness And Housing Exclusion In Europe: Challenges And Opportunities For Research And Policy, 2010 University of Pennsylvania
Homelessness And Housing Exclusion In Europe: Challenges And Opportunities For Research And Policy, Dennis P. Culhane, Thomas Byrne
Dennis P. Culhane
The European Parliament recently passed a Written Declaration “calling for an ambitious EU homelessness strategy and support to Member States in their efforts towards ending homelessness” (FEANTSA, December 21, 2010). The Written Declaration comes on the heels of a consensus conference on homelessness held in Brussels, in which researchers from the European Observatory (some featured in this volume) made the moral and empirical case for urgent and strategic action by all member countries of the EU. This leadership has proven to be critically influential as the European Commission moves forward with its antipoverty goals for 2020. This timely volume will …
The Patterns And Costs Of Services Use Among Homeless Families, 2010 University of Pennsylvania
The Patterns And Costs Of Services Use Among Homeless Families, Dennis P. Culhane, Jung Min Park, Stephen Metraux
Dennis P. Culhane
This study examines families’ use of behavioral health hospitalization and foster care placement prior to, during and following shelter use, comparing families based on shelter pattern and type of housing exit. Results show that inpatient and foster care services use drops in the homelessness period, but rebounds following exit, regardless of pattern of shelter use, and type of housing exit. Results suggest that shelters supplant use of services, but not on a sustained basis. Despite declines in concurrent services use, the homelessness period is overall more costly for episodically and long-term shelter users, primarily owing to the high costs of …

Beyond Tolerance: Consciously Using Universal Energy Laws, Discernment, And Harmonious Relationship Principles, Carroy U. Ferguson
Carroy U "Cuf" Ferguson, Ph.D.
Every day we, as human beings, maneuver through a myriad of circumstances in our individual and collective life spaces. Central to our experiences is the nature, kind, and quality of our relationships. When we encounter differences (racial, ethnic, cultural, religious, economic, sexual orientation, the mentally and physically challenged), a common issue that often emerges in our experiences is the extent to which we use tolerance in relating to other people and circumstances. For this reason, I want to discuss the nature of tolerance and its limitations, and how to move beyond tolerance by consciously using Universal Energy Laws, discernment, and …

Prólogo al libro "Desde adentro: viviendo la construcción de las ciudades con su gente" de Teolinda Bolívar
Los pobres, con sus tiempos y lugares, con sus in-voluntades y sin darse cuenta, han hecho con proezas inexplicables (a los ojos de quienes racionalizamos la creación sistemática del espacio), nuestras ciudades. Y es que pocos/as, cuento a Teo, fueron testigos de cómo hacedores/as, en condiciones de extrema precariedad pero con saberes, motivos y disposiciones, dieron inicio y dieron paso, porque quisieron vivir, pertenecer e identificarse, a la constitución de auto-producciones para la ciudad, de barrios para la ciudad, de otras ciudades para …

Human Capital-Centered Regionalism In Economic Development: The Case Of Philadelphia’S Biosciences Sector, 2010 University of Pennsylvania
Human Capital-Centered Regionalism In Economic Development: The Case Of Philadelphia’S Biosciences Sector, Laura Wolf-Powers
Laura Wolf-Powers
The paper, drawing on a case study of a regional "talent development" consortium in the Greater Philadelphia metro region, argues that the analytic tools developed to facilitate workforce- and occupation-led economic development are ahead of the institution-building required to put new approaches into practice, for two reasons. First, tensions persist around the role of the public sector workforce system in regional development initiatives. Second, regional stakeholders disagree about whether “knowledge economy” investments should include the training of manufacturing, transportation and logistics workers, leading to the frequent and controversial neglect of blue-collar occupations. The documentation of regional occupational specializations, “talent gap” …

Beyond Competing Theories Of The Hidden Economy, 2010 University of Sheffield
Beyond Competing Theories Of The Hidden Economy, Colin C. Williams
Colin C Williams
Purpose – This paper aims to evaluate critically the validity of rival theorisations of the hidden economy that variously read this sphere as a leftover from a previous era, a by-product of a new emergent form of capitalism, a complement to formal employment or an alternative to the formal economy. Until now, the common tendency among economic theorists has been to either universally privilege one theorisation over others, or to represent each theory as valid in different places. Design/methodology/approach – To evaluate their validity to the city of Moscow, a survey is reported involving 313 face-to-face interviews with inhabitants conducted …
