In this article, the authors estimate the effect of investment on infrastructure (i.e., sewerage, gas provision, paved streets and electricity) on the price of land using a sample of almost 600 lots located in Greater Buenos Aires (gba). The estimates suggest that effects are positive and larger than the cost of construction, particularly among the lots with the best locations. We also explore the robustness of the results to omitted variable bias. These results suggest that betterment levies, which are seldom used in gba, could become an effective financial tool in some cases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Os grandes projetos urbanos são apresentados como estratégias de desenvolvimento econômico e social. O objetivo desse trabalho é estudar as experiências de São Paulo e do Rio de Janeiro para mostrar os limites, os custos e as potencialidades dessas estratégias. A investigação mostrou que os resultados obtidos não alcançaram os objetivos desejados pelos defensores dos grandes projetos. As populações socialmente vulneráveis atingidas pelos projetos tiveram perdas. Essas experiências serviram para apontar elementos cruciais que devem ser analisados em projetos importantes em curso no Brasil, especialmente a Copa do Mundo e os Jogos Olímpicos.

Se usan los módulos de "movilidad cotidiana para trabajar" del censo de población de 2002 y de la Encuesta de Caracterización Socioeconómica Nacional (Casen) de 2009, de Chile, para verificar las hipótesis del avance del policentrismo y de la "difusión del empleo" en el Área Metropolitana del Gran Santiago (AMGS, Chile), planteadas por estudios recientes. Ambas hipótesis se ajustan tanto a las predicciones de las teorías del cambio metropolitano predominantes, como a la experiencia de numerosas ciudades de los países desarrollados y de América Latina. Sin embargo, en ellas se tiende a desconocer el efecto que la segregación residencial socioeconómica a gran escala del AMGS tiene sobre la localización del empleo. La evidencia sistematizada en este trabajo sugiere un proceso mixto en el AMGS: nuevas sub-centralidades aparecen, pero no contrapesan aún el predominio económico de la centralidad histórica ampliada.Questions on commuting from the 2002 Population Census and the 2009 Casen (National Socioeconomic Characterization) survey of Chile are used for assessing two hypotheses raised in some recent articles about the Metropolitan Area of Greater Santiago (MAGS): i) the advancement of polycentrism, and ii) territorial diffusion of employment across the MAGS. Both hypotheses are based on mainstream theories of metropolitan change, and have been supported by evidence from several cities, mostly in developed countries. However, these hypotheses do not take the effects of Santiago's high levels of residential segregation into account. According to results obtained in this study, the MAGS is experiencing a mixed process: new centralities indeed are arising but they do not overshadow yet the concentration of employment in the wider historic centrality.

A pesar de la influencia en el debate académico de la hipótesis de la relación entre la globalización económica y la emergencia de un nuevo modelo de metrópolis, pocas publicaciones han abordado el análisis de los mecanismos concretos de articulación de estas dos esferas. El objetivo de este artículo es el estudio del papel jugado por una categoría de actores del mercado de capitales -los fondos de inversión inmobiliaria chilenos- en la producción de los espacios residenciales de Santiago. Por medio del examen de su portafolio de colocaciones habitacionales, se subraya su importancia en el financiamiento de la edificación privada de vivienda. Para definir estos programas, los fondos han privilegiado las tipologías y las localizaciones que se adecuan mejor a sus temporalidades y a sus lógicas de funcionamiento. De este modo, han tenido influencia directa sobre la verticalización de la ciudad, y en los procesos de renovación de los barrios céntricos. Vemos en la difusión de las exigencias del mercado de capitales, así como de sus técnicas de gestión de activos, una nueva faceta del fenómeno de "financiarización" de las grandes metrópolis en el sector habitacional.

Las teorías sobre la clusterización económica, y en particular sobre la aglomeración geográfica en la industria creativa, asumen una idea de 'lugar' o 'localidad' en extremo estática, auto clausurada e idealizada. A través de evidencia empírica, y después de una revisión de los argumentos a favor y en contra de dicha idea de 'lugar' en la literatura especializada, este artículo explora la escena de música experimental de Santiago, Chile, como caso de una industria creativa estructurada en una espacialidad alternativa. Específicamente, se argumenta que dadas ciertas condiciones productivas, culturales y urbanísticas, las industrias creativas pueden desplegarse en torno a espacialidades múltiples, móviles y eventuales, sin que esto mine los efectos de cluster esperados. Finalmente, y sólo a modo especulativo, se propone una nueva figura espacial para dar cuenta de los procesos de clusterización económica en ciudades emergentes.Cluster theories, and particularly theories on creative clustering, have assumed a highly static, self contained and idealized idea of the 'local'. Based on empirical evidence, and folio wing a review of the arguments in favor and against this idea of the 'local', the article explores the experimental music scene in Santiago de Chile, as a case of a creative industry structured around an alternative spatiality. Specifically, we argue that under certain productive, cultural and urban conditions, creative industries can unfold around multiple, mobile and eventual spatialities without losing the expected cluster effeects. Finally, and only speculatively, we propose a new spatial structure for understanding the process of economic clustering in developing cities.

La planifcación regional y urbana ha tendido a fjarse exclusivamente en la composición sectorial de las economías locales, asumiendo en forma implícita que la estructura de ocupaciones por actividad es similar a lo largo de un país. Si bien este supuesto parece ser cierto para el conjunto del tejido productivo, se encuentran diferencias signifcativas cuando se analizan ocupaciones específcas. Entre ellas destacan aquellas intensivas en conocimiento, las cuales tienden a estar sobrerrepresen-tadas en las principales ciudades. Se propone una metodología para el análisis de la relación existente entre la estructura de ocupaciones y la estructura sectorial y se aplica al estudio de las principales ciudades chilenas en 2002 a partir de la información del Censo de población, con el objetivo de estimar en qué medida estas estructuras divergen y si existen concentraciones relativas de ocupaciones, observándose que aquellas relacionadas con el conocimiento y la toma de decisiones empresariales tienen una presencia mayor que la esperada en el área metropolitana de Santiago.Regional and urban planning have tended to be exclusively focused on the industrial mix of local economies, implicitly assuming that the occupational mix of economic activities is similar throughout a country. Tis assumption seems to be right fom the perspective of the productive system as a whole, however signifcant diferences arise when analyzing certain occupations. Among them, knowledge-intensive occupations stand out and tend to be overrepresented in the main urban areas. A methodolog y is proposed to analyze the relationship between the occupational and industrial structures. Tis methodology is applied to the case of the principal Chilean cities in 2002 using data fom the population Census in order to estimate the extent to which these structures diverge and whether or not there are relative concentrations of occupations. Results show that the presence of managerial and knowledge-intensive occupations in the metropolitan area of Santiago is higher than expected.
