The occupation of peri-urban areas in the eight largest Amazonian cities is studied, along with its impact on forest conservation, in order to identify conditions associated with greater or lesser loss of peri-urban forests. For this purpose, a comparative analysis of demographic and spatial indicators is conducted, as well as a spatial analysis of recent urban growth over forested areas. Furthermore, challenges for the conservation of peri-urban forests are discussed based on key territorial dynamics and existing mechanisms for territorial planning and management. It is identified that the greater pressure from urban growth on peri-urban forests is mainly linked to migratory processes and regional economic dynamics related to mining and tourism activities. Likewise, the trend towards reduced population and housing density in new expansion areas, along with an increase in the real estate...

Se discute el potencial de desarrollo de la pequeña minería aurífera de manera más responsable con el ambiente, la cual puede convertirse en una estrategia de desarrollo inclusivo en la región Madre de Dios. Con mayor énfasis, se examina la percepción ambiental de la población local en relación con los impactos ambientales de la minería aurífera y la disposición a adoptar medidas de reducción de impactos ambientales. El caso de estudio es la microcuenca Huacamayo, una de las principales zonas mineras de la región Madre de Dios, la cual mostró un acelerado proceso de expansión de esta actividad entre los años 2007 y 2009. Los resultados muestran que los principales factores que intervienen en la percepción de los impactos ambientales son la posibilidad de observación directa del impacto, la capacidad de comprensión de las causas y procesos que intervienen, y la disponi...

Since the 2000s, Lima city shows important changes in its socio-spatial structure, decreasing the long-established opposition between the centre and the periphery, developing a more complex arrangement. Sustained national economic growth has allowed better socio-economic conditions in different areas of the city. However, high inequality still remains in the ways of production of urban space, which affects residential segregation. To identify possible changes in the segregation patterns of Metropolitan Lima, this study focuses on the spatial patterns of occupational groups, examining their causes and relation with income inequality. The analysis is based on the 1993 and 2007 census data, measuring residential segregation by the Dissimilarity Index, comparing with the Diversity Index. The results confirm trends towards increased segregation between occupational groups. Top occupational gr...

Este libro es un esfuerzo interdisciplinario por generar una contribución al estudio de la estructura de la metrópoli y sus centralidades urbanas. El siglo pasado significó, para Lima, un momento de profundas transformaciones debido a los procesos migratorios, la expansión de la ciudad, el aumento de la población y los cambios en los mercados laborales, entre otros factores. La concomitancia entre estos procesos tiene una serie de impactos que se manifiestan en la morfología territorial y social de la ciudad, en su división social y en las distintas maneras en que los territorios se fragmentan para articularse asimétricamente con procesos globales. Los estudios recientes en América Latina coinciden en que la estructura urbana de las metrópolis se ha modificado drásticamente desde fines del siglo XX. La globalización y el modelo actual de acumulación de capital han generado u...

CASA tiene como objetivo generar investigaciones académicas con soluciones prácticas, involucrando directamente a agentes cruciales en la transformación y desarrollo de nuevas ciudades como son las instituciones públicas y los propios ciudadanos. CASA está a cargo del Centro de Investigación de la Arquitectura y la Ciudad (CIAC) y el Instituto de Ciencias de la Naturaleza, Territorio y Energías Renovables (INTE) de la Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (PUCP) y The Bartlett Development Planning Unit (DPU) de University College London (UCL). CASA se desarrolla en Iquitos, Perú y es parte de la Iniciativa Ciudades Resilientes al Clima a cargo de Fundación Futuro Latinoamericano (FFLA), Alianza Clima y Desarrollo – CDKN LAC y IDRC / CRDI.
