TABLE OF CONTENTS Urban Latin America: Part 2: Planning Latin American Cities: Dependencies and "Best Practices" Edited by: Tom Angotti and Clara Irazábal

Issue 213 | Volume 44 | Number 2 | March 2017

Urban planning in Latin America reflects the historic dependencies and inequalities of peripheral capitalism. These were amplified by recent neoliberal reforms in housing, transportation and social policy. This issue looks critically at urban reforms in these areas, the role of social movements and the emergence of "best practices" including social urbanism, bus rapid transit, bicycle infrastructure, and participatory budgeting, with more to come in the next LAP issue.
