La explotación intensiva de áreas urbanas de baja ocupación constituye un vector que permite indagar acerca de las lógicas que operan en los procesos de transformación de la ciudad consolidada y en la identificación de actores y políticas urbanas involucradas. Este artículo trata de caracterizar los cambios urbanos recientes, examinando los procesos de toma de decisiones en torno de la construcción de edificios en torre a partir de la mirada sobre un caso testigo. Y apunta a contribuir a la comprensión de los mecanismos de producción y gestión urbana, los intereses en juego y la red de actores que habilitan una densificación intensiva.
The fragility of democracy in Peru and Colombia is intimately linked to the processes of political violence -and vice versa-experienced by both countries during the second half of the last century. This essay presents a historical review of the social and political transformations that unleashed two of the most violent episodes in Latin American history, emphasizing the role of peasant and urban movements, political organizations risen up in arms, armed forces and political parties. The political analysis of these processes is based on a critical reading on the heterogeneity of the Peruvian and Colombian societies, the impact of neoliberal structural reforms at the end of the Cold War, and the recovery of the role of the state in the establishment and implementation of institutional reforms that facilitate the resolution of conflicts in democracy.
