Slum Clearance in Havana in an Age of Revolution, 1930-65
SLEEPING ON THE ASHES: SLUM CLEARANCE IN HAVANA IN AN AGE OF REVOLUTION, 1930-65 by Jesse Lewis Horst Bachelor of Arts, St. Olaf College, 2006 Master of Arts, University of Pittsburgh, 2012 Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of The Kenneth P.

It challenges the notion of a “great divide” between Republic and Revolution by tracing contentious interactions between technocrats, politicians, and financial elites on one hand, and mobilized, mostly-Afro-descended tenants and shantytown residents on the other hand. The dynamics of housing inequality in Havana not only reflected existing socio- racial hierarchies but also produced and reconfigured them in ways that have not been systematically researched. -

Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Inger S. B. Brodey Todd Ramón Ochoa Marsha S. Collins Tanya L. Shields Madeline G. Levine © 2016 Donato Fhunsu ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Donato Fhunsu: The Kongo Rule: The Palo Monte Mayombe Wisdom Society (Reglas de Congo: Palo Monte Mayombe) A Book by Lydia Cabrera An English Translation from the Spanish (Under the direction of Inger S. B. Brodey and Todd Ramón Ochoa) This dissertation is a critical analysis and annotated translation, from Spanish into English, of the book Reglas de Congo: Palo Monte Mayombe, by the Cuban anthropologist, artist, and writer Lydia Cabrera (1899-1991). Cabrera’s text is a hybrid ethnographic book of religion, slave narratives (oral history), and folklore (songs, poetry) that she devoted to a group of Afro-Cubans known as “los Congos de Cuba,” descendants of the Africans who were brought to the Caribbean island of Cuba during the trans-Atlantic Ocean African slave trade from the former Kongo Kingdom, which occupied the present-day southwestern part of Congo-Kinshasa, Congo-Brazzaville, Cabinda, and northern Angola. The Kongo Kingdom had formal contact with Christianity through the Kingdom of Portugal as early as the 1490s. -

Su esplendor colonial puede palparse en La Habana Vieja, una visita totalmente inexcusable. Este barrio, Patrimonio de la Humanidad, es uno de los conjuntos urbanísticos mejor conservados de América y del mundo, dominado por plazas y fortalezas. Lo mejor es comenzar el recorrido en la plaza de Armas. Rodeándola, se encuentran los palacios de los Capitanes Generales (convertido en Museo de la Ciudad) y del Segundo Cabo, el Castillo de la Real Fuerza (actual Museo de Armas), el Templete y el Palacio de los Condes de Santovenia (convertido en hotel). El otro gran conjunto es la plaza de la Catedral, donde, aparte del templo, se encuentra el Palacio de los Marqueses de Aguas y las casas de Lombillo, del Marqués de Arcos y de Chacón. -
How Built Environment Affects Travel Behavior
http://jtlu.org . 5 . 3 [2012] pp. 40–52 doi: 10.5198/jtlu.v5i3.266 How built environment affects travel behavior: A comparative analysis of the con- nections between land use and vehicle miles traveled in US cities Lei Zhang Jinhyun Hong Arefeh Nasri Qing Shen (corresponding author) University of University of Maryland University of University of Marylanda Washington Washington Abstract: Mixed findings have been reported in previous research regarding the impact of built environment on travel behavior—i.e., sta- tistically and practically significant effects found in a number of empirical studies and insignificant correlations shown in many other studies. It is not clear why the estimated impact is stronger or weaker in certain urban areas and how effective a proposed land use change/policy will be in changing certain travel behavior. This knowledge gap has made it difficult for decision makers to evaluate land use plans and policies according to their impact on vehicle miles traveled (VMT), and consequently, their impact on congestion mitigation, energy conservation, and pollution and greenhouse gas emission reduction. This research has several objectives: (1) re-examine the effects of built-environment factors on travel behavior, in particular, VMT in five US metropolitan areas grouped into four case study areas; (2) develop consistent models in all case study areas with the same model specifica- tion and datasets to enable direct comparisons; (3) identify factors such as existing land use characteristics and land use policy decision-making processes that may explain the different impacts of built environment on VMT in different urban areas; and (4) provide a prototype tool for government agencies and decision makers to estimate the impact of proposed land use changes on VMT. -

Es La Habana actual una ciudad singular por la conservación de excepcionales valores urbanísticos y arquitectónicos acumulados en sus cinco siglos de existencia. Su historia, arquitectura y trazados urbanos han sido favorecidos por la presencia de un variado medio natural que exalta su imagen, con un extenso litoral, la bahía, las playas, su clima favorable, junto a la vegetación y una topografía en forma de terrazas hacia el mar. Los llamados "esquemas” o “planes directores" han estado presentes a lo largo del propio desarrollo histórico de la ciudad con diferentes alcances y enfoques. -
