Quanto maior a mudança, maior a estagnação
Em 1965, passei dois meses em Pontezinha e Ponte dos Carvalhos, duas pequenas cidades da periferia do Recife. Fiz parte do Projeto Cornell-Brasil, um grupo de estudantes americanos e brasileiros interessados no desenvolvimento do Nordeste brasileiro. Quase seis décadas depois, voltei como Professora Homenageada Fulbright, acolhida pela Fundação Joaquim Nabuco (Fundaj), para saber o que havia acontecido e buscar pessoas que estavam lá naquele mome…
Environmental and Social Sustainability of Urban Upgrading Programs
The Hill and the Asphalt
This article argues that informality is essential to urban vitality and that the ability of the formal sector to function depends upon the labour, consumer strength, social resilience, and intellectual capital of the people considered marginal. Based on the author’s 50 years of original fieldwork in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, she takes exception to the much-touted goal of ‘Cities without Slums’, contending that cities without slums are cities…
Ciudades sin tugurios, ciudades sin alma. Repensando los conceptos y las consecuencias de la marginalidad en las favelas de Río de Janeiro
“Ciudades sin barrios marginales” equivale a “Ciudades sin alma”. Este ensayo reflexiona sobre los conceptos y las consecuencias de la Marginalidad, a partir de investigaciones en las favelas de Río de Janeiro. Este ensayo de Janice Perlman, autora del legendario estudio antropológico publicado hace 40 años, El mito de la marginalidad, fue realizado durante numerosas conferencias en preparación de Hábitat III, la tercera Cumbre de Naciones Unidas…
Favela
Perlman has produced an excellent, exhaustive study of life in the 1,020 favelas [of] Rio de Janeiro ... Her measured approach is all the more compelling because as she investigates the deprivation and danger faced by favela dwellers---19% of the city's population---she also conveys a deep understanding that favelas are not merely despair-filled slums but communities." Publishers Weekly (starred review)" ""Janice Perlman is one of the leading res…
The Metamorphosis of Marginality
This article is based on a four-generational study of residents in three squatter communities (favelas) in Rio de Janeiro from 1968 to 2003. It shows how the marginalization of the urban poor has deepened over the past thirty-five years through drug-related violence, the failure of democracy to deliver on its promise of voice for the disenfranchised, the stigma of place and race, the increase in unemployment, and the inability to translate educat…
From the Marginality of the 1960s to the "New Poverty" of Today
This paper derives from a LARR-sponsored forum at the LASA 2003 Congress held in Dallas in March 2003. Targeted at younger scholars, a panel of leading researchers whose early work was shaped by marginality and dependency thinking of the 1960s were invited to reflect cross-generationally about how paradigms analyzing poverty in Latin American cities have shifted from that time to the present. Specifically, each of the authors compares "marginalit…

Mega-cities and the urban future
Mega‐cities and the urban future
In spite of a proliferation of innovative approaches to urban challenges, the seriousness of urban problems is accelerating and threatening all societies. For more than two decades, foundations and government agencies have supported innovative projects in anticipation that they would be expanded city‐wide or replicated across cultures. Sadly, however, successful small‐scale initiatives are rarely replicated, if at all. Given the magnitude of urba…
A dual strategy for deliberate social change in cities
Misconceptions about the Urban Poor and the Dynamics of Housing Policy Evolution
This paper identifies five common misconceptions about the urban poor in Third World cities and traces their affect on housing policy. Prospects for a successful housing strategy are suggested
Megacities and innovative technologies
Seven Voices From One Organization
It would be trite to say that citizen action means different things for different people; a cliche to say that it means different things simultaneously for the same person: yet both are overwhelmingly true. Listening carefully to the members of citizen action groups -- not the organizers, staff, or wellknown leaders -- but simply the members, reveals the entire gamut of understanding and confusions; gratifications and frustrations; of hopes and f…
