Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Geografía  Política urbana  Arquitectura  Geografía Regional  Ciudades  Países  Regiones Clasificación: 910 Geografía viajes Resumen: El punto de partida de este libro se basa en la premisa de que las dimensiones del discurso dominante sobre la ciudad inclusiva no logran capturar en detalle los grupos vulnerables de la sociedad (mujeres, niños y ancianos), los grupos minoritarios (es decir, los ciegos, los discapacitados), y migrantes. Además, no reconoce el aumento de la desigualdad espacial impulsada por las diferencias raciales y de clase, un factor que ha visto un aumento de la violencia y las protestas comunitarias. El enfoque en la desigualdad espacial ha obligado, durante mucho tiempo, a las autoridades urbanas a ignorar la exclusión que surge de los mismos entornos creados con la noción de crear inclusión. De ahí que este libro "derrumba los muros espaciales" mientras busca descubrir las verdaderas perspectivas de inclusión en las ciudades más allá de las dimensiones espaciales pero dentro de los ámbitos sociales. La profundidad de la investigación de este libro se basa en su investigación crítica de las ciudades del sur de África a través de las épocas históricas de apartheid y colonialismo en la región. Nota de contenido: Part I: Laying the foundation for inclusive cities -- Laying the foundation for inclusive cities – An introduction -- Southern African cities at a glance -- The enduring relationship between civil engineering and spatial injustice -- Interrogating conceptual dimensions of inclusive cities -- Part II: Interrogating inclusivity of cities in selected countries -- Living beyond the dream of inclusivity. The race and class domain: Inclusivity in selected European cities -- Continuities and discontinuities in urban population policies in post-colonial Southern African cities: Towards a sustainable and inclusive framework -- Urbanisation, inclusive cities and the plight of the people with disability -- Excluding urban poor in the urban developments -- Diversifying inclusivity through the night economy: An observation from the terraces of durban and cape town -- Post-colonial cities in South Africa: A mirage of inclusivity -- Defining the layers of urban complexity: An epistemological shift towards inclusive cities -- Adaptive reuse strategies in Durban inner city using hybrid mapping tools -- Housing policy and the post-apartheid city: A tale of urban exclusion through housing delivery -- Reflecting on the inclusivity of culture in urban housing development – A case study of communal residential units in Durban -- Human settlements policies and women's access to the city: Implications for inclusive cities -- The neglect of people with disabilities in integrated development planning in Ngangelizwe township, Mthatha -- Access and constraints to commuting for persons with disabilities in Gauteng province, South Africa -- Situating citizens' participation in inclusive infrastructure development -- The language of struggle and radical activism as an inclusive city tool among the neglected urban poor of South Africa -- Closing remarks on inclusive cities. Tipo de medio : Computadora Summary : This book's point of departure rests on the premises that dimensions of the mainstream inclusive city discourse fail to capture in detail vulnerable clusters of society (being women, children, and the aging), the minority clusters (i.e., the blind, the disabled), and migrants. In addition, it fails to recognize the increase of spatial inequality driven by racial and class differences—a factor that has seen an increase in community violence and protests. The focus on spatial inequality has, for a long time, blind-folded urban authorities to ignore exclusion arising out of the same environments created with a notion of creating inclusivity. Hence this book "collapses spatial walls" as it seeks to uncover the true perspectives of inclusivity in cities beyond spatial dimensions but within social realms. The depth of this book's enquiry rests on its critical investigation of Southern African cities' through historical epochs of apartheid and colonialism in the region.
