Dr. Hans Harms, TU Hamburg - Harburg Date of defence 22nd September 2008 Declaration I hereby declare that this doctoral dissertation is the result of an independent investigation. Where it is indebted to the work of others, acknowledgements have duly been made. Alonso Ayala Alemán Dortmund, August 2008 Acknowledgements I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the Department of Spatial Planning in Developing Countries and particularly SPRING, the international Masters Programme run by the Faculty of Spatial Planning, of the TU- Dortmund. I am equally grateful to the to Centro Ciudades de la Gente of the Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning of the Universidad Central de Venezuela, as well as to the Deutsche Forschung Gemeinschaft (DFG). Without the invaluable support of these institutions it would have been impossible for me to carry out my doctoral dissertation. I would also like to express my appreciation to and admiration to the key persons who helped me realize my doctoral dream, especially Prof. Dr. Volker Kreibich, my “Doktor-Vater”, who has after all these years become my mentor and a friend; Prof. Dr. Einhard Schmidt-Kallert, whose invaluable inputs, support and friendship helped me consolidate my work; and the Architects Teolinda Bolívar and Iris Rosas, whose wisdom and unconditional love for the barrios and its people inspired and guided me through the discovery of their relational universe. I would also like to thank Prof. Dr. Hans Harms who has keenly followed my work from the very outset. Special recognition should be given here to my dear best friend Manjunath Sadashiva, who has been my spiritual supervisor throughout this journey. His invaluable feedback and knowledge has given me the spirit, strength and determination to persevere in this effort. My heartfelt thanks also extend to my beloved friends Anne Weber, Eva Dick, María Margarita Sosa, Frederic Back and Frank Schulz, who in one way or another accompanied and assisted me through all these years. Especially this dissertation is dedicated to Joel Casique, whose support and unconditional love accompanied me throughout the whole process. My deepest appreciation goes to barrio communities in general and the community of Julián Blanco, Petare Norte in particular. Their lives, sorrows and aspirations form the cornerstone of this dissertation. It is they who enabled me realize my role as a researcher and revealed the meaning and relevance of my work. While it is impossible to acknowledge by name, the hundreds of barrio inhabitants who welcomed me and willingly participated in my research, two women who have left an imprint on my life and work, certainly commanded my attention. They are, Belkis Moncada and Marta Hernández. Giving me her unconditional support and friendship, Belkis appealed to my heart to embrace her community and Marta made me realize that the human character is enriched only by the power of the soul. Finally, while cherishing the gentle affection of my father, Lino, and the love and solidarity of my brothers Ricardo, Arturo, Alejandro and Lino Eduardo, I would like to dedicate this work to my mother, Carmen Elena Alemán, whose endurance and life achievements have always been the pivotal source of inspiration. Abstract “Spatial segregation is the reflection of social structures onto space”. Understood as a negative condition the socio-spatial segregation of urban dwellers as the opposing form to urban integration has become a major hindrance to both functional urban development and the inclusive vision that cities are supposed to foster. This premise forms the underpinning rational to construct this dissertation using the situation of the informal settlements of Caracas, Venezuela, as its subject of analysis. Like in many other Latin American major cities the rapid and unregulated urbanization of Caracas is compounded by social polarization, socio-economic inequalities and urban fragmentation. Inefficient government responses to provide large portions of the urban population with adequate access to housing have resulted in the formation and consolidation of informally-built areas outside the purview of urban regulations. Known in Venezuela as barrios de ranchos, these settlements are the spatial manifestation of urban poverty, social exclusion and precarious urban conditions characterized by poor quality housing, poor access to basic services, insecure property rights, and ambiguous citizenship, all of this contributing to their lack of integration to the surrounding city. The physical and socio-economic integration and inclusion of these urban dwellers represent a tremendous challenge for policymakers, professionals and civil society alike. Particular attention must be devoted to them in order to understand why the situation has evolved into what is today with the purpose of envisioning strategies aimed at integrating them to mainstream urban development. Actions to remedy this situation have fallen under projects and programmes implemented in a piecemeal basis, tackling mostly the physical improvement of these settlements. Such actions, at least in the Venezuelan context, have been many times tainted by political patronage and manipulation. It is argued in this dissertation that an integrated, holistic and multi-disciplinary approach denuded from political patronage is necessary to activate the integration process of these settlements. In this context, urban upgrading interventions have assumed a special significance in the process of spatial and socio-economic integration of barrios. For the purpose of this dissertation a specific upgrading project in one informal settlement in Caracas has been chosen to both explore the meaning of integration and how to actually achieve it by drawing up the lessons derived from the project‟s planning and implementation process. The project, known as the Caracas Barrio Upgrading Project (CAMEBA), has been undertaken in two major barrio agglomerations of Caracas in an attempt towards devising a humane and integrated barrio renewal policy. The empirical evaluation of CAMEBA is believed to offer valuable insights and positive lessons for future implementation of urban integrationist strategies. The main objective of this dissertation is therefore to explore the meaning of urban integration using the implementation process of project CAMEBA as its subject of research. In order to operationalize the research, the theorethical underpinnings of Polanyi´s modes of economic integration were used as the base to construct the analytical model to be tested in the field. The articulation of such model was guided on the other hand by a European research on urban integration known as the URBEX project, which applied Polanyi‟s model in spatial terms and emphazised the interplay of three functional domains as the key to socio-economic integration, viz. the State´s redistributive policies, public reciprocity and the dynamics of market exchange. Even though the theoretical underpinnings of the model were used by the URBEX project in the context of Western cities in Europe, this dissertation attempted to adapt the analytical framework envisaged by this project to the particular situation of the barrios of Caracas. Through this theoretical exercise a number of variables and indicators were developed to measure the degree of socio-economic, political and spatial integration of the barrio intervened by the upgrading project of CAMEBA. The complexity of the issue called for an understanding of the different forces and processes behind the social, economic, political and spatial exclusion of the large portion of the Venezuelan urban dwellers that live in barrios. The exploration thus far points out to the fact that urban upgrading endeavours in informal settlements in the context analysed can only be sustainable and relevant if the community being intervened is able to own the process and become the main stakeholder of the intervention. The study reveals that the process of barrio upgrading must be activated and sustained over a period of time in order to enable barrio inhabitants to realize their much cherished aspirations including the achievement of a sense of socio-economic and political integration and a sustained improvement in the quality of their lives. Quality access to basic and physical infrastructure, socio-political recognition of barrios and fostering of proactive community organizations while enabling their meaningful participation in the barrio upgrading process emerge as the major preconditions for working towards the urban integration of barrios. The analytical model articulated in the study stands out as a useful contribution to the scientific debate regarding urban integration, and it is expected to inform policymakers and urban specialists about posible paths towards the integration of

  • In Historical Terms, Venezuelan Democracy Emerged from an Extended Process of Political Learning
    COUNTRIES AT THE CROSSROADS COUNTRIES AT THE CROSSROADS 2011: VENEZUELA ANGEL ALVAREZ INTRODUCTION In historical terms, Venezuelan democracy emerged from an extended process of political learning. The lessons obtained from the breakdown of the democratic experiment led by the Democratic Action (AD) party from 1945–1948 paved the road for a 1958 governability accord known as the Punto Fijo pact. Leaders during the subsequent era of political stability were particularly inclined to heed lessons about the damaging effects of extreme polarization. Democratic political parties—aside from AD, the most important group was the Social Christian Party (COPEI)—were convinced that political stability depended on the exclusion of antidemocratic forces like the leftist guerrillas and right- wing militarists that engaged in sporadic attacks. Although this mode of stability entailed violations of human rights, democracy did indeed prevail. Venezuelan democratic continuity was based on oil revenues, and both political stability and oil dependence increased after the nationalization of the industry in 1974. In the 1970s, AD and COPEI continuously captured more than 80 percent of the vote, with only small groups of ultra-radical leftists violently challenging the government. This exceptional political steadiness, in a region plagued by authoritarian regimes, was based on massive distribution of the oil rent. Yet by the 1980s, oil prices fell dramatically and Venezuelan external debt skyrocketed. In 1983, the government depreciated the bolívar, the dramatic initiation of an era in which middle class voters, the political base of both parties, became progressively alienated by economic crisis exacerbated by blatant corruption. Political dissatisfaction with democratic politics became evident through declining electoral turnout between 1983 and the 1988 election of Carlos Andrés Pérez as president.

The current U.S. Department of State Travel Advisory at the date of this report’s publication assesses Venezuela at Level 4, indicating travelers should not travel to the country. Overall Crime and Safety Situation The U.S. Embassy in Caracas does not assume responsibility for the professional ability or integrity of the persons or firms appearing in this report. The American Citizens’ Services unit (ACS) cannot recommend a particular individual or location, and assumes no responsibility for the quality of service provided. Review OSAC’s Venezuela-specific webpage for original OSAC reporting, consular messages, and contact information, some of which may be available only to private-sector representatives with an OSAC password. Crime Threats There is serious risk from crime in Venezuela, but no evidence to indicate criminals specifically target U.S. citizens. As in years past, Venezuela remained one of the deadliest and most violent countries in the world in 2018. The crime that had previously concentrated in some municipalities now exists throughout the entire country. The Government of Venezuela often attempts to refute claims of high crime and murder rates; however, independent observers widely reject such claims. Venezuela does not release official crime statistics. In 2018, the estimated rate of 81.4 violent deaths per 100,000 inhabitants (based on 23,047 total homicides) represented a slight decrease from 2017. The majority of Caracas’s crime and violence remains attributed to mobile street gangs and organized crime groups.

Shortly after I arrived in the country, a security official at the U.S. Embassy warned me never to travel into the slums. “The people there are so desperately poor,” he insisted earnestly, “that they’ll rob your shoes, your shirt, your eyeglasses, your belt — and that’s if you get out alive.” The barrios are often identified in everyday conversations like these as a kind of cancer on the city, pouring bodies into and draining resources out of the valley of Caracas.

Travel Advisory The current U.S. Department of State Travel Advisory at the date of this report’s publication assesses Venezuela at Level 4, indicating travelers should not travel to the country due to crime, civil unrest, poor health infrastructure, kidnapping, and arbitrary arrest and detention of U.S. citizens. Review OSAC’s report, Understanding the Consular Travel Advisory System. Overall Crime and Safety Situation Crime Threats The U.S. Department of State has assessed Caracas as being a CRITICAL-threat location for crime directed at or affecting official U.S. government interests. Venezuela has one of the highest number of violent deaths in the region and in the world. Last year closed with an estimated 16,506 murders and a rate of 60.3 violent deaths per 100,000 inhabitants, well above any other country in Latin America. This rate is the result of three types of violence: Criminals committed 6,588 homicides, at a rate of 24 victims per 100,000 inhabitants; 5,286 deaths were caused by resistance to the government, mostly homicides committed by state security forces by excessive use of force/extrajudicial execution, with a rate of 19 victims per 100,000 inhabitants; and 4,632 deaths were of undetermined cause, officially registered as death inquiries, but mostly homicides at an estimated rate of 17 victims per 100,000 inhabitants.
