Abstract

El presente trabajo es el primero que analiza, con visión interdisciplinaria y amplia, los principales problemas del transporte urbano y su relación con la hasta ahora inmanejable contaminación atmosférica en nuestra ciudad. El estudio se caracteriza por varios rasgos novedosos. En primer lugar, toma en cuenta la opinión de los usuarios, un elemento casi ausente en los estudios. En segundo, ofrece un tratamiento del sector transporte como una combinación de tecnologías que se escogen de manera colectiva a través de procesos no siempre bien estudiados. En tercer lugar, busca plantear las bases para desentrañar la compleja madeja de relaciones que se han establecido entre el patrón de ineficiencia del sector transporte y las graves consecuencias ambientales que de él se desprenden.

Abstract

Este libro trata sobre los "corredores de transporte público confinados", puestos en marcha por el gobierno local de la Ciudad de México. Más allá de las soluciones técnicas, se aborda su viabilidad desde la orientación social de la propuesta; es decir, desde los acuerdos tácitos y explícitos entre las autoridades locales, los prestadores de servicio y otros grupos de la sociedad civil organizada. Asimismo, se estudia la viabilidad de los corredores en cuanto a su articulación con las acciones de gestión urbana vigentes.

Abstract

Angesichts der Vervielfachung der Verkehrsleistung und des Individualverkehrs sowie der damit verbundenen Städtebau- und Umweltprobleme kommt immer wieder der Vorschlag einer Korrektur des modal split zugunsten des ÖPNV auf, und zwar insbesondere bezüglich der Berufs- und Ausbildungsverkehre. Unter den Instrumenten, die ein solches ""Umsteigen"" herbeiführen sollen, wird den Änderungen der relativen Preise besondere Bedeutung beigemessen, wobei Pkw-belastende Maßnahmen (z.B. eine Erhöhung der Mineralölsteuer) und ÖPNV-unterstützende bzw. attraktivitätssteigernde Maßnahmen (z.B. Verbilligungen

Abstract

Cet ouvrage est le fruit d'une recherche sur les conséquences qu'a pu avoir la mise en service du métro de Lyon sur la vie quotidienne des habitants des quartiers desservis. Les auteurs, chercheurs dans une équipe du CNRS, ont cependant voulu dépasser ce problème pour présenter des résultats de portée plus générale sur le phénomène de mobilité. Celle-ci se révèle être un des aspects le plus important de la vie moderne dans la mesure où elle apparaît comme le lien entre les diverses utilisations du temps et de l'espace urbain. Si les conséquences du métro sont faiblement perceptibles dans la vie quotidienne, celle-ci s'est en revanche révélée très sensible aux conditions générales de l'activité économique. Ces conclusions conduisent à s'interroger sur les changements que pourrait connaître la vie quotidienne dans les années à venir.

Abstract

An examination of the neighborhood transformation, gentrification, and displacement that accompany more compact development around transit. Cities and regions throughout the world are encouraging smarter growth patterns and expanding their transit systems to accommodate this growth, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and satisfy new demands for mobility and accessibility. Yet despite a burgeoning literature and various policy interventions in recent decades, we still understand little about what happens to neighborhoods and residents with the development of transit systems and the trend toward more compact cities. Research has failed to determine why some neighborhoods change both physically and socially while others do not, and how race and class shape change in the twenty-first-century context of growing inequality. Drawing on novel methodological approaches, this book sheds new light on the question of who benefits and who loses from more compact development around new transit stations. Building on data at multiple levels, it connects quantitative analysis on regional patterns with qualitative research through interviews, field observations, and photographic documentation in twelve different California neighborhoods. From the local to the regional to the global, Chapple and Loukaitou-Sideris examine the phenomena of neighborhood transformation, gentrification, and displacement not only through an empirical lens but also from theoretical and historical perspectives. Growing out of an in-depth research process that involved close collaboration with dozens of community groups, the book aims to respond to the needs of both advocates and policymakers for ideas that work in the trenches.

Abstract

Drive the streets of Nairobi, and you are sure to see many matatus—colorful minibuses that transport huge numbers of people around the city. Once ramshackle affairs held together with duct tape and wire, matatus today are name-brand vehicles maxed out with aftermarket detailing. They can be stately black or extravagantly colored, sporting names, slogans, or entire tableaus, with airbrushed portraits of everyone from Kanye West to Barack Obama. In this richly interdisciplinary book, Kenda Mutongi explores the history of the matatu from the 1960s to the present. As Mutongi shows, matatus offer a window onto the socioeconomic and political conditions of late-twentieth-century Africa. In their diversity of idiosyncratic designs, they reflect multiple and divergent aspects of Kenyan life—including, for example, rapid urbanization, organized crime, entrepreneurship, social insecurity, the transition to democracy, and popular culture—at once embodying Kenya’s staggering social problems as well as the bright promises of its future. Offering a shining model of interdisciplinary analysis, Mutongi mixes historical, ethnographic, literary, linguistic, and economic approaches to tell the story of the matatu and explore the entrepreneurial aesthetics of the postcolonial world.
