Please keep in mind that we will focus our discussion on CHs 4 & 7 of Professor Pezzoli's book tomorrow. As I hope you've already started that reading, I would like you to also read the Introduction, as it is an excellent overview of his entire project.
The questions I've already posted apply well to the assigned chapters so please keep them in mind as they will drive our discussion tomorrow.
Finally, I feel that the most provocative argument laid out by Professor Romo this morning was for us to consider the similarities of urban poverty and slum conditions experienced worldwide.
- Given our discussions about levels and scales, what opportunities and challenges do these similarities between cities provide for attempting to reduce and eliminate human inequalities, so often tied to urbanization?
- And, what lessons can we draw for other cities from the case Professor Pezzoli analyzes? In what ways do we consider Los Belvederes, Ajusco and Mexico City both unique and similar to other cities?
See you tomorrow.
