Transformation De Bidonvilles Peruviens En Nouvelles Villes Emergentes Paperback

Dario Enriquez

In the last 50 years the staggering and chaotic growth of Latin American cities has been fueled by migration from the countryside inhabited by impoverished and unemployed peasants. No city was prepared to receive such a large number of peasants seeking to survive. All services have fallen into ruins. The low original planning was not respected. The peasantry that arrived at the cities and the poorest city dwellers illegally occupied the available land, usually without basic services and in the outskirts of the city. These are the first "invasions" and the first slums, the striking expression of a poor population seeking opportunities that the legal economic system denies them. Our research analyzes the experience of slums in Lima, Peru, as the emergence of "know-how" among the most disadvantaged groups of the population. At first, they developed many collectivist experiences in the face of initial poverty; afterwards, in a context of progressive urbanization, it is a popular economy that is rather individualistic and very close to the market.
