Esta investigación exploratoria analiza los desalojos residenciales y conflictos urbanos en Lima Metropolitana en el período posterior al COVID-19, empleando métodos mixtos para visibilizar un fenómeno tradicionalmente invisibilizado en el contexto peruano. A diferencia de otros países latinoamericanos, en Perú la permisividad hacia la ocupación de suelo público había servido como válvula de escape a las presiones por acceso a la vivienda. Sin embargo, factores como el aumento del precio del suelo en zonas centrales, la inmigración venezolana que intensificó el mercado de alquiler informal, y los grandes proyectos de infraestructura estatales han modificado el patrón de desalojos contemporáneo. El proyecto busca describir la geografía y características actuales de los desalojos, identificar conflictos urbanos asociados al derecho a la vivienda, y establecer una base empírica para consolidar un Observatorio Metropolitano de Desalojos y Conflictos Urbanos en el CIAC, fortaleciendo vínculos entre academia y organizaciones de sociedad civil.

Walking practices are understudied in general, but qualitative understanding of the walking practices related to work - walking to, or for work - is especially weak in the literature. Northern contexts predominate in walking studies, as does voluntary walking. However, in Southern cities, 'captive pedestrians' visibly predominate on the ground, especially those walking for work. Therefore, this proposal focuses on the ¿work-walk¿ - walking practice associated with work - in cities in the Global South (addressing mainly, Theme 2 of the CFP). Women domestic workers (WDWs) are among the most ubiquitous but invisible of workers in the city, who rely on walking to access work. We thus, propose a comparative, interdisciplinary, collaborative, and mixed-methods study of the ¿work-walk¿ of women domestic workers, in two Southern cities, Mumbai (India) and Lima (Peru). This would be analysed in relation to the ¿walkscape,¿ or the physical and policy landscape that conditions it in each city. Specifically, we propose to study a) the lived and practiced walking of individual WDWs in each city and its larger, local patterns, and b) how the specific contours of policy, governance, planning and urban management create the walkscape that shapes the experience of WDWs¿ work-walks. A comparative analysis of these findings, that accounts for similarities and differences across walkers (WDWs), their livelihoods, and the planning and governance context across both cities is expected to produce new empirical and theoretical generalisations of broader relevance to mobility, walking and urban studies.

Enmarcado en el contexto del Centro Global de Métodos Espaciales para Sustentabilidad Urbana (Global Center of Spatial Methods for Urban Sustainability, SMUS), este proyecto procesual de investigación-acción se diseñó para producir, examinar y poner a prueba metodologías multisituadas que ayuden a acortar la distancia entre la investigación y la práctica urbana, así como trazar el camino para futuros métodos de investi gación del espacio e investigación en torno a la sustentabilidad urbana. Cuenta con tres equipos, de Kolkata (India), Xalapa (México) y Lima (Perú), participamos en una serie de talleres ¿cortos pero intensivos¿ que tuvieron entre noviembre del 2023 y julio de 2024.

Knowledge in Action for Urban Equality (henceforth KNOW) is an ambitious research programme that will bring together a global network of urban specialists working together to deliver cities for all. KNOW is guided by the aspiration to produce more equal cities and focuses on three challenges: delivering prosperity, tackling extreme poverty and building resilient cities. With UCL's Bartlett Development Planning Unit (DPU) at the forefront of a network of institutions across 9 countries, KNOW seeks to co-produce a combination of city-based research and partnerships of equivalence that will challenge the structural cause of inequality in contemporary cities. Professor Caren Levy (DPU, UCL) will lead a global partnership to deliver transformative research and capacity for innovation in policy and planning that will promote urban equality. A consortium of researchers based at UCL, University of Durham, IIHS (Indian Institute of Human Settlements, India), Ardhi University (Tanzania) and FLACSO (Latin-American Social Sciences Institute, Costa Rica), KNOW will work with local academic and community-based partners in Sierra Leone, Uganda and Tanzania, Cuba, Peru, Costa Rica and Colombia, India and Sri Lanka. With a budget of over £7 million, KNOW will run to the end of 2021, creating a network of Urban Learning Hubs that will continue the work beyond the end of the project.
