“…Moreover, one of the reasons for the limited impact of the LSUP on land value in the northern portion of the city is likely related to the collective opinion: investments were unable to change urban conventions (Abramo, 2007) in the area and attract high‐income groups to the northern portions of the city (Almeida, 2019). Finally, the readers must keep in mind that all these major urban changes are very recent and land markets may take several decades to capitalize fully on all the effects.…”

“…We modelled each neighbourhood as a factor ( neighbourhood ). Drawing on Abramo (1994, 2007) and Furtado (2011), the average price within each neighbourhood varies according to the level of neighbourhood externalities, which the theory explains based on the concept of urban convention (an average collective opinion on that neighbourhood). This concept advances the spatial representation of cities from a monocentric‐ring structure to a kaleidoscope of externalities, where the distance from central business district (CBD) or the level of amenities is not the main explanatory variable of land values.…”

Large‐scale urban projects (LSUPs) are capable of changing cities' structures and, consequently, have a potential deep impact on land values. However, to assume that the LSUP always uplift land values may dismiss too quickly some key aspects of these investments. This work uses a difference‐in‐differences model to assess the impacts of LSUPs on land values, implemented in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Results indicate that the impacts of LSUPs vary according to the kind of project (transit, iconic building and retail) and property (residential, commercial and vacant land). Macroeconomic cycles, negative externalities, and projects location within the local urban structure are key to understand the impacts' dynamics.

“…En términos agregados, la suma de decisiones individuales conduce a un equilibrio único, estable y eficiente en el mercado de las localizaciones residenciales. Como lo plantea Abramo (2006), quien ofrece una rigurosa crítica a la teoría neoclásica ortodoxa, desde este discurso, el orden (equilibrio) espacial segregado resulta de las acciones de individuos, en una sociedad donde todos tendrían la libertad de elegir su localización intraurbana. En este sentido, se puede afirmar que se naturaliza la ciudad segregada, en la que no opera ningún poder de orden económico, ni de otra naturaleza, tendiente a excluir o impedir el acceso al suelo a determinados grupos sociales.…”

La segregación residencial socioeconómica urbana es una problemática persistente en las ciudades capitalistas. Sin embargo, las aproximaciones teóricas de carácter explicativo del fenómeno son escasas, predominan los enfoques y metodologías descriptivas de carácter sociológico o geográfico. En este trabajo se propone un indicador que busca hacer operativa la teoría de la renta del suelo urbano. De manera específica, el artículo tiene como objetivo determinar el grado de segregación socioeconómica en Bogotá, a partir de la construcción de un indicador que busca hacer operativa la noción de renta de monopolio de segregación (Jaramillo, 2009), tomada como marco explicativo del fenómeno. Se presenta la implementación del Indicador de Segregación Espacial Socioeconómica (ises) propuesto inicialmente por Villanueva (2018) y revisado en esta investigación, el cual permite medir la desigualdad en el acceso al suelo urbano residencial, a partir de la relación de la distribución de población según sus niveles de ingreso, con una gama de localizaciones factible (acceso potencial al suelo) que cada grupo de población puede tener sobre el espacio urbano de la ciudad, dados los precios del suelo (y del espacio construido). El artículo aporta a la comprensión de la segregación residencial socioeconómica y somete a la discusión un dispositivo metodológico original para su medición.

“…Analyses of racism within urbanization have also highlighted the influence of affiliation to ethnic status groups with regard to the location of households. High-income households decide on their location, avoiding settling near racialized groups of low status (Abramo, 2011). In addition, works on gentrification and spatial segregation have shown the key role of the strategic discrimination of low ethnic status groups in land and housing markets.…”

“…On the production side, Abramo (2011, 2012) begins from a critical reading of location theory, highlighting the relevance of spatial innovations from production-side agents affecting residential location preferences, and transforming the paths of residential segregation within cities. In addition, the idea of the strategic valorisation of space that has been present in Latin American critical geography (Moraes et al, 2009) would provide some keys for explaining gentrification as a process unchained from strategies of objective and symbolic valorisation and devalorisation of specific areas of the city.…”

Generating a critical dialogue on gentrification in Latin America

Studies on gentrification in Latin America currently face two main obstacles. On the one hand, there appears to be a refusal by the academy in Latin America to use the term, regarding it as an expression of cultural imperialism. On the other hand, there has been an excessively flexible and ambiguous use of the term, obscuring political and scholarly debates on the issue. Both obstacles are partly a consequence of the lack of dialogue between the different authors in the field. This article generates a critical dialogue with the most relevant works and researchers on gentrification in Latin America, as well as with those scholars reluctant to use the term. Specifically, the author advocates for a more restrictive and clarifying definition of the phenomena and defends the utility of the concept as a tool to promote the critical analysis of the specific processes in many Latin American cities, as well as in cities outside the region. The paper concludes that, even though it should not be the main political concern for urban researchers in the region, gentrification is a relevant ongoing process in some Latin American cities and its study would contribute to a better comprehension of recent processes of urban restructuring.
