Document Summary
Fortified enclaves, favelas, ciudades, perdidas, barriadas, villas miseria, Recent trends in urban development in large latin american cities take place in the context of a significant social inequality. To a great extent, most of these cities have shifted from being industrial hubs (some of these) to finance and service centers. The wall of shame, casuarinas, pamplona - lima, peru. Private enclaves and the segregation they generate deny many of the basic elements that constitutes the modern experience of public life: Unprogrammed public enjoyment and congregation in the streets and squares. The new urban morphologies give new forms of inequality, keep groups apart, and inscribe a sociability that runs against the ideals of the modern and its democratic freedoms.
