Book Description
El argumento central de este libro gira alrededor del concepto de vulnerabilidad socio- territorial con la finalidad de captar la naturaleza distintiva de las nuevas situaciones de inseguridad e indefensión que la población enfrenta en las nuevas circunstancias económicas, sociales, políticas ambientales y culturales y cómo su bienestar general se ve afectado por estas nuevas circunstancias. La vulnerabilidad no está limitada a los grupos pobres, sino que puede afectar a cualquier grupo de la sociedad al verse expuesto a vulnerabilidades de todo tipo que restringen las oportunidades e impiden la integración y/o participación de los grupos sociales. Los trece capítulos que lo integran han sido resultado del Proyecto de Investigación PAPIIT IG 300118, denominado: "Vulnerabilidad Socio-Territorial y Procesos Metropolitanos en la Región Centro de México" que recibió apoyo financiero de Dirección General de Asuntos del Personal Académico de la UNAM. Este fue un Proyecto de Grupo donde participó personal académico de tres dependencias universitarias: el Instituto de Geografía, el Centro Regional de Investigaciones Multidisciplinarias (CRIM), y la Facultad de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales de la UNAM. Se estructura en tres apartados: Vulnerabilidad socio-territorial; Vulnerabilidad laboral y precariedad; y los Procesos políticos y cocreativos en la Ciudad de México. Se analizar las zonas metropolitanas de la Región Centro del país, que es una región muy urbanizada porque sus centros urbanos concentran el 84 por ciento del total regional de la población. Por lo que, representa un laboratorio urbano muy adecuado para explorar las circunstancias actuales en los tres atributos fundamentales de la vulnerabilidad social: su multidimensionalidad; la profundidad de la fragilidad social actual; y su variación socio-territorial.

Book Description
In recent times what has become known as "the case of Medellín " has generated a growing interest in the international community. These urban transformation that Medellín has experimented have become a focus of attention and reference for experts in many fields, around the world. The book ́Medellin: Environment, Urbanism and Society ́, that now published the Center for Urban and Environmental Studies, Urbam, of EAFIT University is a testimony of the value given by our culture to the accomplishments of the city, to the idea of the public sphere and the growing relationship between the technical sphere and the political sphere, understood in the broad sense as a form of disciplinary knowledge and construction of civil society. This book brings together a knowledge of the city from multiple perspectives; knowledge that is, without any doubt, impressive for its extension and profoundity, as well as for its capacity to combine objective data with conceptual reflections about the scope and impact of the different perspectives concerning the theme of urban transformation and the different actors that have participated in such processes. The book weaves a broad net over the city, its history and development, adopting a multidisciplinary vision. I think that this will be the first step in creating a speech that might finally liberate itself from the strict disciplinary boundaries, building a trans-disciplinary perspective that can amplify the urban dimension of the city. This is the beginning of a profound and complex reflection that is, at the same time, a project of knowledge and an instrument of action and participation.

Book Description
The analytical approaches to studying the region are diverse and evolve as research products appear, as a result of modern systems for collecting, processing and integrating information from the various disciplines. Studies based on political and administrative boundaries, very common in the nineteenth century, move towards the positivist approaches of the twentieth century based on the distribution and organization of demographic and economic factors. Afterwards, the population and its social conditions in terms of infrastructure, economic level and social status are the main object of studies on the regions. The conceptualization of these approaches to study the region enters into crisis with the most recent trends of globalization on industrial and urban geographies (Veltz, 1996; 2008), more visible since the eighties in the last century. The city expands until it overflows into areas without political administrative jurisdiction, giving rise to an urban-rural territorial continuum due to population flows seeking residence, employment, or flows of goods and services. In addition, new territorial identities are built because of ethnic-racial and cultural diversity, and companies are offered new territories to relocate in the midst of this territorial continuum. The rural space is transformed into a new structure and dynamic of economic, social and urban occupation, without necessarily disappearing territories of peasant character in the margins of the region, though they are more articulated to the urban dynamics of the region.
