Las características espaciales de las ciudades resultan decisivas en los principales problemas urbanos: la calidad de vida, la movilidad, el consumo energético y de materiales, etcétera. Para describir el crecimiento de las ciudades, la compacidad y la densidad se han convertido en dos de los valores más funcionales, y pueden ser calculados a través de las principales bases de datos de coberturas del suelo en España: corme Land Cover y siose.

The authors investigate determinants of
individual migration decisions in Vietnam, a country with
increasingly high levels of geographical labor mobility.
Using data from the Vietnam Household Living Standards
Survey (VHLSS) of 2012, the authors find that probability of
migration is strongly associated with individual, household
and community-level characteristics. The probability of
migration is higher for young people and those with

This report by the Independent
Evaluation Group (IEG) summarizes the experiences of and
draws lessons from the country program evaluations of four
natural resource-rich countries: the Plurinational State of
Bolivia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and Zambia. It concludes that
although the challenges identified in these countries are
not unique, they manifest themselves with particular
intensity in three closely interrelated areas that need to

En este número sobre suelos hemos planteado una serie de preguntas clave: ¿debe extenderse o comprimirse el suelo urbano? ¿Quién asume los costos y quién recibe las ganancias? ¿Contribuye esa respuesta a la igualdad entre los habitantes de la ciudad? Las respuestas aquí presentadas evidencian que la noción de ‘suelo urbano’ es un territorio en disputa donde el punto de vista si importa pues tiene, literalmente, consecuencias de escala urbana.

Resumen Desde comienzos el siglo XX se asistió en la periferia de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires a la inserción de núcleos de barrio parque y fin de semana como parte del proceso de modernización de la ciudad y de sus redes de transporte. En este marco, el trabajo que presentamos se propone analizar el proceso de urbanización de dichas áreas haciendo hincapié en la relación entre las formas privadas de urbanización y las problemáticas que subyacían en relación a la acción del Estado.

A synchronous growth slowdown has been
underway in emerging markets (EM) since 2010. Growth in
these countries is now markedly slower than, not just the
pre‐crisis average, but also the long‐term average. As a
group, EM growth eased from 7.6 percent in 2010 to 4.5
percent in 2014, and is projected to slow further to below 4
percent in 2015. This moderation has affected all regions
(except South Asia) and is the most severe in Latin America

Resumen La presente investigación tiene como propósito analizar el modo en que la política habitacional de incentivo a la demanda impulsada por PRO.CRE.AR incide en los procesos de expansión urbana, analizando los rasgos principales de la integración urbana: aspectos urbanos, ambientales y normativos. Los avances del trabajo permitieron reconocer que uno de los factores que tiene peso significativo es la localización del Programa en áreas no urbanas, como también en aquellas áreas que siendo urbanas, tienen grandes déficit de servicios y equipamientos públicos.

Ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) measures have been increasingly promoted in the literature, as well as in policies and practices, for their environmental and socio-economic co-benefits. The recent scientific literature has shown a growing interest to assess climate adaptation plans at the urban level, in recognition of the important role played by urban areas in addressing climate change challenges. However, little information is available on the combination of these two issues, i.e., the actual inclusion of EbA measures in climate adaptation plans at the urban level.
