Money, meaning, and territory: Family business groups and agro-extractive systems in Latin America
Family business groups play a significant role in Latin America’s agro-extractive systems. While research on agro-extractivism has focused primarily on territorial expansion and transnational agribusiness, less attention has been paid to the actors that coordinate relations across multiple sites and stages of value chains. Drawing on critical socio-spatial perspectives, this article examines family business groups as organisational actors that co…
Extractivismo periurbano como convergencia de fronteras extractivas: Ensamblajes de operaciones inmobiliarias, agroindustriales y mineras en Colina, Santiago de Chile
El avance del extractivismo en Latinoamérica no solo afecta territorios rurales, sino que también transforma los bordes urbanos. Este artículo introduce el concepto de extractivismo periurbano para analizar la convergencia y el ensamblaje de operaciones extractivas (inmobiliarias, agroindustriales y mineras) en el periurbano norte de Santiago de Chile. A pesar de que estas operaciones suelen estudiarse por separado, comparten lógicas extractivas,…
Varieties of Economic Elites? Preliminary Results From the World Elite Database (WED)
The strategies, decisions and beliefs of those who occupy prominent positions of economic power have influence on very large corporations and the markets they dominate, on vast amounts of economic resources, and on the rules of the game. However, the sociology of elites faces a dual challenge: divergent conceptualisations of what can be considered as a position of economic power and internationally incompatible sources of information hinder compa…
Financiarización urbana y especulación estructural: La producción del megaproyecto Piedra Roja como ‘mall inmobiliario’ y la transformación territorial de la periferia norte de Santiago
En este artículo se analiza la relación entre especulación estructural y financiarización territorial en la periferia norte de Santiago, tomando como caso de estudio el megaproyecto Piedra Roja en Chicureo, uno de los desarrollos inmobiliarios más grandes de Chile. Con un enfoque metodológico que incluye entrevistas, análisis de prensa, análisis de transacciones de compraventa de terrenos, imágenes satelitales y datos oficiales, se examina cómo l…
Beyond the Megacity: New Dimensions of Peripheral Urbanization in Latin America
Beyond the Megacity reconnects to the Latin American tradition of theorizing urbanization from the margins, moving urban theory closer to the complexity and diversity of urbanization in the Global South.
Hacia una ecología política de las nuevas periferias urbanas: Suelo, agua y poder en Santiago de Chile
Durante las ltimas dcadas la provincia de Chacabuco, en el norte de Santiago, se ha transformado profundamente en trminos territoriales debido a la instalacin de megaproyectos urbanos para segmentos sociales acomodados, en contextos que hasta ese entonces eran eminentemente rurales. Desde la ecologa poltica suburbana analizamos las distintas estrategias econmicas, polticas y metablicas con vista a los recursos del agua y el suelo a travs de las c…
Urban Governance
In this entry different notions of urban governance are presented, from the diagnosis of living in the era of new networked forms of governance, through normative usages of the term in the form of public policy recipes, to understandings of urban governance as a theoretical field and analytical toolbox. It is discussed how these different notions play out in dissimilar ways in the Global North and the Global South, in the former prevailing debate…
Urban Rescaling
This entry presents the evolution of the discussion about urban rescaling, relating it to the more general “scale debate,” on the one hand, and the urban implications of globalization, on the other. Different scale‐related approaches and issues such as global city theory, the rescaling of urban form, the rescaling of state spatiality, urban governance under neoliberalism, and the politics of scale are discussed. It is argued that the debate on ur…

Urban environmental (in)justice in latin america
In 2014, Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) was the second most urbanized region in the world with approximately 80 per cent of their population living in urban areas. In the 1950s and 1960s an urban explosion took place through rural-urban migration and rapid and uncontrolled urbanization. Explosive growth, informality and inequality have created serious environmental problems that more specifically result from the lack of provision of basic …
Real estate production, geographies of mobility and spatial contestation: A two-case study in Santiago de Chile
Transporte, desigualdad social y capital espacial: Análisis comparativo entre Buenos Aires y Santiago de Chile
El presente trabajo estudia cómo las características del transporte urbano latinoamericano generan dimensiones de disputa de "capital espacial", es decir, un tipo de recurso urbano internalizable individualmente que deriva de la combinación de condiciones materiales objetivas y socioculturales subjetivas. Estas condiciones determinan un aprovechamiento socialmente diferenciado del territorio y en ocasiones constituyen elementos decisivos en la ap…
Disaster risk construction in the progressive consolidation of informal settlements: Iquique and Puerto Montt (Chile) case studies
Privatization of the Fringes — A Latin American Version of Post-suburbia? The Case of Santiago de Chile
Latin America is one of the most urbanized regions worldwide (UN, 2008). Urban expansion and suburbanization are well-established and common phenomena, particularly in the larger agglomerations and megacities in the region. However, the profound social, ecological and economic implications of these processes have only recently — with some delay in comparison to the United States (US) or Europe — started to become a major concern of urban analysts…
