“…Estos planteamientos explicativos ayudan a entender los procesos de reinterpretación de la ciudad a partir de los patrones de desarrollo urbano, con manifestaciones diferentes según los contextos, y que están cada vez más estandarizados a escala global (Méndez, 2019;Pahl, 2013;Phelps, 2010). En cuanto a sus expresiones territoriales, la dispersión urbana se ha analizado desde la morfología urbana y la planificación urbana (Hall, 2014). La geografía urbana le ha prestado atención a partir de las lógicas de la periurbanización (extensión territorial de la ciudad) (Marchal et al, 2019) o de la contraurbanización (cambio de escala de la ciudad) (Dematteis, 2015).…”

El presente trabajo analiza los procesos de expansión y delimitación de las áreas urbanas en un grupo de ciudades medias españolas. El objetivo es establecer el alcance territorial y la tipología de municipios afectados. Se han utilizado datos censales a escala municipal, de población y vivienda, desde el año 1981 a 2011. La metodología empleada es el diagrama de dispersión a partir de un modelo que pone en relación cada ciudad con los comportamientos de los municipios situados en su entorno. Se realiza una revisión bibliográfica sobre los procesos de dispersión urbana en diferentes contextos. El ámbito de análisis abarca un radio de 30 km alrededor de cada una de las setenta ciudades peninsulares elegidas que tienen una población entre 50.000 y 300.000 habitantes. Los resultados permiten establecer una propuesta de área urbana e identificar cuatro tipos de municipios en función de las dinámicas de población y vivienda.

“…Deciding on the best means for assessing social sustainability is considered quite complex due to multiple challenges, commencing from how meticulous it is to stand on its definition considering the continuously changing needs and perceptions of society members (McKeown et al 2002). Indeed, Hall (2014) emphasised a lack of shared understanding pertaining to social sustainability as a concept, resulting in the near absence of a holistic definition in most rating tools (Fenner and Ryce 2008). Reference has been made in certain occasions to the ability of fulfilling human basic needs, which also bears variances.…”

“…Previous studies had attempted to identify the key pillars for probing societal consensus in regard to this key matter. Hall (2014) identified nine pillars that were seen as assuming most interest of the neighborhood residents; quality of the living environment, school availability, safety, cleanliness and friendliness of the locale, pre-school childcare, integrated social housing, proper planning, community outreach, as well as adequate amenities. A glance over newly developed social indicators within a number of sustainability rating tools reveals a joint focus on general comfort, community engagement and promotion of communication channels, overall health matters, as well as nurturing sustainable behavior.…”

Evaluating social sustainability in Jordanian residential neighborhoods: a combined expert-user approach

Neighborhood sustainability has assumed a pole position as a topic of interest in the past years, addressed through dedicated strands of most of the globally adopted sustainability rating tools, such as LEED and BREEAM. Considering sustainability assessment, the social sustainability of neighborhoods assumes a certain particularity, not only in terms of its high context dependence pertaining to its locality, but in its means of assessment as well, with people as a key potential evaluator for matters that are not bound to quantitative aspects. This research focused on developing a framework for rating social sustainability in neighborhoods, utilizing a quantitative approach that builds upon insights obtained by an extended group of experts and end users. It combines the Delphi and AHP techniques along with the case study approach to develop a framework that suits the Jordanian local context, where a particular neighborhood, Dahiyat Al Hussein in Amman, is used for validation. The research revealed that rating the social sustainability of neighborhoods is not only highly guided by the local context it addresses, but is also reliant on the level of understanding and adoption of the concept itself as attained by the people.

“…13 Conversely, with regard to government approaches to resolve the issue, legislation forcing tenement landlords to abide to minimum standards, such as the 1885 Housing of the Working Classes Act in the UK, or the New York Tenement House Act of 1901, have been useful in cities such as New York or London but would have no impact in Latin American shantytowns. 14 For me as a Spanish-language native speaker, the conflation of these concepts under one term (slum) raised several questions: would English-language readers not be confused by this ambiguity? And perhaps most importantly, would their confusion matter?…”

Slums, Villas Miseria, and Barriadas: Why Terms Matter

Building upon previous debates surrounding the English-language term slum, this article argues that slum stigmatizes the spaces and subjects that it refers to not only because it evokes nineteenth-century imaginaries of pauperism and crime but also for the sweeping gesture that it implies; for its refusal to observe in depth the experience of those who inhabit the spaces at stake and the interests associated. Intended as a universal term, “slum” can refer to such disparate urban typologies as inner-city high-rise tenements, low-rise overcrowded housing, and peripheral shantytowns, which empties it of specific meaning and converts it into an abstract container on to which external agendas are projected. To further demonstrate this point, the article reads slum alongside the seemingly analogous yet more specific Argentine and Peruvian terms villas miseria, barriadas and pueblos jóvenes, fields of dispute whose meanings have been contested by different actors, including residents, from the outset.
