This book may seem a simple accumulation of twenty-one public space projects in eight Latin American cities. On closer inspection, the presentation of project descriptions, photographs, and annotated drawings reflects a concern to analytically explain the operative aspects at work. The publication is not intended to serve only as a catalogue, guide, or manual on how to produce public space in spontaneous settlements. Rather, it goes beyond the aims of an index of best practices. It is intended, instead, as an empirical base for a critical and theoretical engagement with the problematic of development, social inclusion, public investment, (in)formal settlement, civil society and the public sphere. The publication achieves its final function at this third level, by providing a compelling argument to expand the agency of architects and urban designers and creatively find ways of justifying, financing, and building public spaces in communities —spaces that have a catalytic effectiveness in achieving significant urban and social transformation. This book was awarded by a Graham Foundation Grant and CAF Development Bank of Latin America.

Vacant urban land--the product of land market activity, the actions of private agents, and the policies of public agents--is an important challenge for policy makers. Vacant lots on the urban fringe and in central and interstitial areas have affected growth patterns in Latin America. Contributors to this book analyze the problems and opportunities related to vacant urban land in five cities: Buenos Aires, Argentina; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Quito, Ecuador; Lima, Perú; and San Salvador, El Salvador.

El IVAM presenta por primera vez en España la obra de la artista eslovena, con una instalación site specific -creada expresamente para el lugar que ocupa-, que continúa su trayectoria artística, cuyo principal objetivo es el de llamar la atención sobre el conjunto de negociaciones que es necesario realizar para sobrevivir en entornos urbanos. Esta nueva obra pone de manifiesto su continuo interés por la tecnología autosuficiente y es, además la primera instalación de la artista en la que el público puede acceder al interior. La instalación se documenta en un catálogo que publica textos de Francesco Careri, Max Protetch, Ana Ma Torres, Kosme de Barañano y la propia artista Marjetica Potrc. La obra de Marjetica Potrc es una labor de documentación de los espacios urbanos y de las tensiones que éstos generan. Mientras lleva a cabo su obra encuentra soluciones autosuficientes que dan poder a los individuos y, por lo tanto, a la sociedad como un todo. Al llevar al ámbito de las galerías y de los museos sus reconstrucciones de barrios de chabolas y de otros lugares "regidos por sus reglas propias", como los desarrollados a partir de "unidades centrales" -estructuras y recursos de carácter básico a partir de los cuales se puede construir un hogar-, Potrc ofrece una estética de arquitectura de muy bajo presupuesto que, con el uso de materiales propios de la zona y de "colores alegres", resulta a veces, paradójicamente, más avanzada que un tipo de arquitectura "estilizada de tipo urbano". Marjetica Potrc es una artista y arquitecta establecida en Liubliana. Su obra se ha expuesto en toda Europa y en los Estados Unidos, incluyendo exposiciones en el Center for Curatorial Studies Museum, Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, Nueva York (1996) ; en la Bienal de São Paulo, São Paulo, Brasil (1996) ; Skulptur. Projekte en Münster (1997) ; La Casa, il Corpo, il Cuore: Konstruktion der Identitaeten, Museum Moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig, Viena (1999) ; Urban Visions, Worcester Art Museum, Worcester, Massachusetts (1999) ; Manifesta 3, Liubliana, Eslovenia (2000) ; Guggenheim Museum, Nueva York (2001); Kuenstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlín, Alemania (2001) ; y Max Protetch Gallery, Nueva York (2002). Además, Potrc ha recibido un gran número de premios, incluyendo becas de la Pollock-Krasner Foundation (1993 y 1999) y del Centro de Arte Contemporáneo Soros, de Liubliana (1994), el Premio de Escultura Parque de la Memoria, de Buenos Aires (2000), una beca Philip Morris Kunstfoerderung para participar en el Programa Estudio Internacional Kuenstlerhaus Bethanien, de Berlín (2000), y el Hugo Boss Prize 2000, del Guggenheim Museum neoyorquino.

A study of public recreation space and how urban developers can encourage ethnic diversity through planning that supports multiculturalism. Urban parks such as New York City’s Central Park provide vital public spaces where city dwellers of all races and classes can mingle safely while enjoying a variety of recreations. By coming together in these relaxed settings, different groups become comfortable with each other, thereby strengthening their communities and the democratic fabric of society. But just the opposite happens when, by design or in ignorance, parks are made inhospitable to certain groups of people. This pathfinding book argues that cultural diversity should be a key goal in designing and maintaining urban parks. Using case studies of New York City’s Prospect Park, Orchard Beach in Pelham Bay Park, and Jacob Riis Park in the Gateway National Recreation Area, as well as New York’s Ellis Island Bridge Proposal and Philadelphia's Independence National Historical Park, the authors identify specific ways to promote, maintain, and manage cultural diversity in urban parks. They also uncover the factors that can limit park use, including historical interpretive materials that ignore the contributions of different ethnic groups, high entrance or access fees, park usage rules that restrict ethnic activities, and park “restorations” that focus only on historical or aesthetic values. With the wealth of data in this book, urban planners, park professionals, and all concerned citizens will have the tools to create and maintain public parks that serve the needs and interests of all the public.

This groundbreaking book provides students and researchers with a unique overview of the longitudinal study of the development of young people from the ages of 12 to 25. It offers a comprehensive introduction into the multiple theories on the development of the self, personal relationships and psychopathology in adolescence, alongside a non-statistical overview of the many longitudinal models used to study development. The book includes key topics such as the development of the self, adolescent identity and personality; the development of parent-adolescent relationships; friendships and the understanding of others; and the development of psychosocial problems such as anxiety, depression, delinquency, aggression, and substance use. Meeus highlights multiple findings showing how these processes are integrated and identifies eight fundamental patterns of adolescent development to help determine why most adolescents develop into mature and organized individuals towards the end of this life stage, whilst a substantial minority show an inability to mature. It is essential reading for graduate students and researchers in adolescent development and anyone seeking to use longitudinal research methodology in the social and behavioral sciences.
