    La problemática de la protección de bienes en el país es una pregunta obligatoria para quienes tienen dentro de su labor el reconocimiento, la restitución y la reparación de las víctimas del desplazamiento forzado. Uno de los puntos que deben analizarse dentro de esta problemática es lo concerniente a la protección de bienes urbanos y cuya responsabilidad está en cabeza de los municipios.

    La problemática habitacional actual de la ciudad de Buenos Aires gira en torno a dos fenómenos: la precariedad y los desalojos, en un contexto que se concibe de emergencia habitacional. Como reacción a esta situación, algunos organismos institucionales y ciertas organizaciones sociales con anclaje territorial en la zona sur de la ciudad comenzaron a llevar adelante acciones de resiliencia frente a los desalojos masivos que, como consecuencia de la presión inmobiliaria, afectaban a los hoteles, pensiones, inquilinatos y casas tomadas de esta zona de la ciudad.

    The dispersion has given rise to a different mode of city production. Throughout history, urban planning has sought to act on several occasions about the growth of the city and the preservation of green space. In the present work aims to identify the tools that provide the Greater London Plan and the Holland Notes to finish the city while preserving the rural space. The study shows in both cases, the State has exercised control over the urban planning, land use and connectivity of urban centers across transport networks.

    Una de las principales preocupaciones dentro de los estudios en Tecnologías de Información Geográfica es el desarrollo de metodologías reproducibles en diferentes ciudades que contribuyan al análisis del proceso de urbanización. El objetivo de este trabajo es proponer una nueva metodología que permita extraer la superficie edificada del área urbana y discrimine las distintas densidades que en ella existen. La metodología se basa en imágenes satelitales Landsat 5 TM que presenta una vasta cobertura territorial y temporal que asegura la posibilidad de réplica.

    The scope of this article is to observe the complexity of the relations between Rome’s University Campus of Tor Vergata and its discursive universe, from the former abusive districts to the re-qualified images of the suburbs of the 8th City Hall, raised to the rank of Centralities in the New Regulatory Plan of Rome.

    Urban footprint refers to the proportion of paved surface (built up, roads, etc.) with the reduction of other land use types in a region. Rapid increase in the urban areas is the major driver in landscape dynamics with the significant erosion in the quality and quantity of the natural ecosystems. The urban expansion process hence needs to be monitored, quantified and understood for effective planning and the sustainable management of natural resources.

    We propose a methodology for the evaluation of urban walkability, and the related software tool for decision and planning support. In the introduction, we discuss the relevance of the concept of walkability for urban quality of life, and attempt to place it within the framework of the capability approach. The central part of the article is dedicated to the presentation of the spatial multi-criteria evaluation model for walkability.

    When finalizing the New Urban Agenda, United Nations Member States should address land as a key focus area and give attention to all types of human settlements: urban, peri-urban and rural, rich and poor. Members States should confirm and build on existing international instruments that promote the following: secure tenure for all, the public control of land use, the generation of land-based revenue to benefit everyone, and responsible land governance.

    The New Urban Agenda (NUA) is about people. People need a place to live in dignity and a place means land; land for housing, working, education, commercial activities, leisure, transport etc.

    Today’s high population growth puts increasing pressure on land, which in turn becomes increasingly scarce. We are at a turning point! The use of and access to land need to be managed with care and responsibility in order to harness the transformative potential of the NUA, in particular in situations where cities need to grow.
