El trabajo que nos ofrece Óscar Alfonso constituye una reconstrucción histórica de cómo se ha estructurado esta segmentación residencial de esta metrópoli, trabajo que está fundamentado en una impresionante investigación sobre las estadísticas de la venta de lotes, la construcción de vivienda formal e informal, todo ello presentado en una excelente cartografía que permite visualizar los procesos sucedidos en este último medio siglo en la construcción de la ciudad, al menos de la oferta de vivienda formal. Como el autor lo advierte, se trata de una historia incompleta, en razón a que más de la mitad de la oferta inmobiliaria ha estado a cargo de la urbanización informal, que en su gran mayoría se corresponde con la vivienda popular, la cual, valga la recordación, ha sido la que predomina en la urbanización del sur de Bogotá. Este trabajo, adicional a los que el autor nos ha ofrecido en años recientes, nos permite comprender los avances y retrocesos que presenta nuestra ciudad en su devenir moderno, sus limitaciones como ciudad incluyente, y los peligros que se corre de llegar a hacer de ella una anti ciudad. Fabio Zambrano P.

Faced with changing economic circumstances and a reorientation of trade toward Europe and Asia, will Eurasia's cities be able to adjust?

Readers of this e-book will gain an insight on the role of identity as a basis for the perception, experience, and appreciation of the form of built structures. It explains knowledge in relation to place identity, focusing both on people's identity, and related factors which play a part in this process, and most of all on a science of identity in the built environment, across a multifaceted and multicultural society.

Le borgate nate in epoca fascista rappresentano una pagina fondamentale della storia di Roma contemporanea. Additate come i luoghi più malfamati della città, specchio dei suoi contrasti socio-economici e urbanistici, in esse può riassumersi il modo disordinato in cui la capitale è cresciuta e si è sviluppata. Avamposti dell’espansione edilizia del secondo dopoguerra, le borgate hanno costituito il luogo d’approdo per migliaia di famiglie dalle molteplici provenienze. Argomento fino a oggi poco dissodato, il processo di popolamento della periferia romana è affrontato in questo libro per mezzo di nuove fonti archivistiche, con cui è stato possibile verificare ipotesi di studio di recente acquisizione. Sullo sfondo, la storia del più importante Istituto di case popolari italiano svoltasi durante il ventennio, un periodo nel quale l’ente, fiancheggiatore delle politiche urbanistiche e abitative del fascismo per la capitale e, seppur a fasi alterne, organo edilizio del Governatorato, fu impegnato nella costruzione di intere parti di città e in quella di un vasto esperimento pedagogico di educazione fascista nei suoi caseggiati, contribuendo anch’esso all’instaurazione di un sistema dalle caratteristiche totalitarie.
