It argues that evaluating the fulfillment of past commitments is essential for framing and meeting the new commitments that were taken in Habitat III over the next 20 years. Taken as a whole, the book provides a critical assessment of the economic, social and environmental consequences of urban interventions during Habitat II. The country-level chapters have been written by recognized experts in urban issues, with first-hand knowledge of the Habitat process, and deep familiarity with the problems, statistics, actors and political contexts of their nations. The latter part of the volume considers wider topics such as the Habitat Commitment Index, the New Urban Agenda and the regional and global-scale lessons that can be extracted from this group of countries. Urban Policy in Latin America will be of interest to advanced students, researchers and policymakers across development economics, urban studies and Latin American studies.Routledge studies in development economics ;146.Urban policyLatin AmericaUrbanizationLatin AmericaSustainable developmentLatin AmericaUrban policyUrbanizationSustainable development307.76098Carrizosa MaríaCohen Michael A.1944-Gutman MargaritaOCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910799925603321Urban policy in Latin America3874836UNINA
