The Effect of Public Expenditure on the Housing Deficit in Peru at the Municipal Level
What impact does public expenditure on housing have on the deficit in a municipality? This article answers this question for Peru for the period 2001–2013. Municipalities with high expenditure levels saw a reduction in the number of households lacking access to water, sanitation, and electricity. There was no significant change in cohabitation, overcrowding, or lack of documents of ownership. The analysis was based on the empirical association be…
Housing What's Next?
Over the course of the 20th century the worlds population grew more than during any other period in history, increasing from around 1.5 billion people in 1900 to nearly seven billion people today. Given this exponential growth, it is essential to reflect o n what we have done to house this growing populationor what residents have done to procure housing on their own. According to the numbers, we have been capable of building enough housing to com…
Growing resources for growing cities
We find that per capita municipal spending on public services is strongly and non-linearly correlated to urban population density. Optimal expenditure levels for municipal services are achieved with densities close to 9000 residents per square kilometre. In our study of about 8600 municipalities of Brazil, Chile, Ecuador and Mexico, 85% of all municipalities are below this ideal density level. This result provides strong policy support for densif…
Cities in Latin America
Urban Latin America has changed dramatically over the latter half of the twentieth century. From 1950 to 1980 Latin American cities showcased high rates of migrant absorption, overurbanization, and national state domination of local politics and decision‐making. Urban growth concentrated in a few cities, reinforcing conditions of primacy and growing demands for urban servicing to meet the needs of an industrial economy primed for national economi…
The National Embeddedness of Urbanization Trajectories
Planning à la Carte
The spectacular growth of gated communities around Latin America's largest cities has been widely noted. In Buenos Aires, after the upgrade of the northern highway in the 1990s, the number of gated communities along the road more than tripled, reaching 500 by the year 2001. Yet, the geographic distribution of these communities was uneven, with the majority concentrated in municipalities with the highest percentage of poor households. Why, given s…
