Series Statement:
Architecture and urbanism in the global south
Content:
"Uncertain Regional Urbanism in Venezuela explores the changes cities face when they become metropolises, forming expanding regions which create both potential and problems within settlements. To do so, it focuses on three metropolitan areas located in Venezuela's Centre-North region: Caracas, Maracay, and Valencia, designated as 'Camava.' Considering three core topics, government and territorial administration, infrastructure, environment, and reciprocal impact, this book describes and analyses the determinant variables that characterise the phenomenon of regional urbanisation in this area and in the wider global south. It includes documentary research, semi-structured interviews, and Delphi methodology, involving a total of 40 experts from different disciplines to build a comprehensive outlook on the situation. This book presents a broader understanding of the region to encourage a more sustainable and knowledge-based development plan, moving away from the exploitation of natural resources, with six future-oriented scenarios to consider. This is a much needed study in the urban regions of Venezuela, which will be of interest to academics and researchers in Latin American studies, the global south, architecture, and planning"--
