  • Villa Miseria Is the Argentinian Version of a Term That Has Numerous Local Equivalents
    I knew the reality of Villas Miseria during the workshop “ABITAZONE08” organized by a free association named CONTROSPAZIOIWEB, the University of Reggio Calabria, and the FABU- UBA. Students and architects coming from different parts of Italy, Portugal, Spain and Argentina take part a the workshop in Buenos Aires in May 2008. The aim of the workshop was a project of a prototype of progressive housing Villa Miseria is the Argentinian version of a term that has numerous local equivalents: • Favela in Brazil, • Callampa in Chile, • Pueblo joven in Peru, • Katchi abadi in Pakistan, • Shanty town in Kenya, • Bidonville in Algeria, • Township in South Africa, The Villas Miseria ( or favelas, or shanty town….)are unplanned settlements. They appear as a result of the initiative of a group of citizens (normally from rural areas) who appropriate furtively and illegally an empty territory located on the periphery of a large city. All of them refer to the same phenomenon, the slum housing that surrounds the large metropolises of developing countries. The Villas Miseria sorround the city of Buenos Aires but there are aslo well defined “enclaves” inside the formal city - sometimes in the richer areas.

  • Learning from Slum Upgrading and Participation
    KTH Architecture and the Built Environment Learning from Slum Upgrading and Participation A case study of participatory slum upgrading in the emergence of new governance in the city of Medellín–Colombia CAMILO ANDRES CALDERON ARCILA Stockholm 2008 ___________________________________________________________ KTH, Department of Urban Planning and Environment Division of Environmental Strategies Research - fms Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan Degree Project SoM EX 2008-18 www.infra.kth.se/fms Zenobia, has houses made of bamboo and zinc, with many platforms and balconies places on stilts at various heights, crossing one another, linked by ladders and hanging sidewalks, surmounted by cone-roofed belvederes, barrels storing water, weather vanes, jutting pulleys, and fish poles, and cranes. No one remembers what need or command or desire drove Zenobia's founders to give their city this form, and so there is no telling whether it was satisfied by the city as we see it today, which has perhaps grown through successive superimpositions from the first, now undecipherable plan. But what is certain is that if you ask an inhabitant of Zenobia to describe his vision of a happy life, it is always a city like Zenobia that he imagines, with its pilings and its suspended stairways, a Zenobia perhaps quite different, a-flutter with banners and ribbons, but always derived by combining elements of that first model. However, it is pointless trying to decide whether Zenobia is to be classified among happy cities or among the unhappy. It makes no sense to divide cities into these two species, but rather into another two: those that through the years and the changes continue to give their form to desires, and those in which desires either erase the city or are erased by it." Italo Calvino, Le Cita Invisibli, 1972 Photo: Paulynn Cue Page | 2 Abstract This document compiles a highly discussed issue present in many cities of the developing world today; it brings forward the importance of facing the challenges that slums create to today’s cities and the mechanisms used for tackling such challenge.

  • Housing Development: Housing Policy, Slums, and Squatter Settlements in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil and Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1948-1973
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: HOUSING DEVELOPMENT: HOUSING POLICY, SLUMS, AND SQUATTER SETTLEMENTS IN RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL AND BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA, 1948-1973 Leandro Daniel Benmergui, Doctor of Philosophy, 2012 Dissertation directed by: Professor Daryle Williams Department of History University of Maryland This dissertation explores the role of low-income housing in the development of two major Latin American societies that underwent demographic explosion, rural-to- urban migration, and growing urban poverty in the postwar era. The central argument treats popular housing as a constitutive element of urban development, interamerican relations, and citizenship, interrogating the historical processes through which the modern Latin American city became a built environment of contrasts. I argue that local and national governments, social scientists, and technical elites of the postwar Americas sought to modernize Latin American societies by deepening the mechanisms for capitalist accumulation and by creating built environments designed to generate modern sociabilities and behaviors. Elite discourse and policy understood the urban home to be owner-occupied and built with a rationalized domestic layout. The modern home for the poor would rely upon a functioning local government capable of guaranteeing a reliable supply of electricity and clean water, as well as sewage and trash removal. Rational transportation planning would allow the city resident access between the home and workplaces, schools, medical centers, and police posts. As interamerican Cold War relations intensified in response to the Cuban Revolution, policymakers, urban scholars, planners, defined in transnational encounters an acute ―housing problem,‖ a term that condensed the myriad aspects involved in urban dwellings for low-income populations.
