Energy and housing trajectories
Auto-construction accounts for the majority of housing built in Lima. • Develops storylines to illustrate energy and housing trajectories. • Vulnerability is present at every stage of the auto-construction process. • Progress does not mean escaping energy poverty and achieving dignified housing. This paper explores the interconnections between housing and energy as intersecting social challenges that generate complex and evolving states of vulner…
Building Community Food Resilience
Food deserts highlight the uneven distribution of food infrastructure that disproportionately impacts marginalised communities, exacerbating their food insecurity. Residents in these areas face daily food access challenges and, in the global South context, rely on informal markets and community‐based solidarity networks. This article seeks to draw lessons for resilience from community‐led initiatives that contribute to food security in urban food…
Environmental Justice and the (Re) Production of Sacrifice Zones
As displacement increasingly shapes contemporary realities, powerful nation-states are adopting securitisation strategies that externalise their borders and designating specific territories to absorb ‘excess’ populations, particularly along migration corridors. This trend necessitates further research to understand the impacts in relation to broader concepts of justice. This paper illustrates how an environmental justice lens enriches existing sc…
Centralized injustices
What happens once people have electricity has received far less analytical and policy attention than the provision of the infrastructure itself. For low-income settlements that have gained a connection to the grid, energy access challenges can still prevail, keeping many inhabitants in energy poverty. This paper analyses energy practices in three low-income neighbourhoods in Lima, Peru, with particular attention to inhabitants’ responses in the f…
The violence of planning law and the production of risk in Lima
Land Trafficking and the Fertile Spaces of Legality
Land trafficking, responsible for the unprecedented rate of urbanization in many Latin American cities, is often conceptualized through corruption as 'abuses of public office for private gain'. While those involved in the practice rely at times on violence and illegality, their repertoire is sophisticated, allowing them to move in and out of legality as part of their cost-benefit calculations. In this article I argue that land trafficking is base…
The Politics of Cartographic Calculation and Coordination
This article demonstrates a way of analysing planning governance in relation to human settlements and exposes the micro-politics at play that precipitate particular forms of planning in Lima. Adopting a socio-material perspective, it focuses on mundane institutional practices in the production, use and circulation of cartography, to reveal conflicting and competing rationalities. It uncovers the multiple ways the politics of representation play o…
Mapping the Contradictions
Acknowledging that the relationship between resilience and environmental justice is complex, this chapter examines the tensions and contradictions arising between these two notions. Through a contextualised analysis of the institutional mapping practices, as well as those undertaken by inhabitants of two informal settlements on the periphery of Lima-Peru, it asks: what is to be made resilient? What from? With what consequences for environmental j…
From state agencies to ordinary citizens
The understanding of linkages between disaster risk and urban development has seen important advances in recent decades. However, it falls short in addressing the production and reproduction of so-called urban “risk traps”, which are accumulation cycles of everyday risks and small-scale disasters with highly localized impacts, particularly on impoverished urban dwellers. Drawing on the action-research project cLIMA sin Riesgo, this paper examines…
Can participatory mapping activate spatial and political practices? Mapping popular resistance and dwelling practices in Bogotá eastern hills
Within the wider ongoing debate of P articipatory A ction R esearch, this paper interrogates the capacity of participatory mapping not just as a means to tap into plural knowledges over and emanating from specific geographies but rather to disrupt exclusionary constructions of space and place and the reproduction of the governing relationships that cause inequality. Focusing on a participatory mapping experience undertaken by the authors in colla…
