| dc.description.abstract | This roundtable investigates new forms of planning and governance in face of growing social inequalities, emerging conflicts and escalating violence in urban areas subjected to the externalities of a global economy and to the risks and vulnerabilities locally produced. In order to deal with social unrest, new public policies are being proposed to pacify or recuperate degraded and dangerous areas. This process is taking place in many cities, by means of different plans and programs. The papers will examine conflict in different urban settings and cultures, dealing with the question of tensions in informal and formal areas. We intend to explore social conflicts as they relate to urban violence and planning. All papers acknowledge that existing public policies are failing in promoting social inclusion, spatial integration and basic human rights. We hope to foster a critical analysis of current planning strategies for dealing with conflict and depressed areas and to contribute for the dialogue between planners from different parts of the world. The first paper by William Goldsmith (Department of City and Regional Planning, Cornell University, CRP/Cornell U.) – “The Drug War and Inner City Neighborhoods” examines how violence evolving from drug trade in the United States depressed big-city neighborhoods is affecting local residents and the surrounding city and metropolitan area. | |
