This dissertation examines the impact of neoliberal economic reform on New Delhi's urban landscape. It shows how the city has transformed since 1991 through two distinct, but interlinked processes: firstly massive 'upgradation' and place-marketing efforts, initiated and supported by the state, to create for the city a global identity worthy of the capital of a newly resurgent and aspirational nation, one that is also welcoming to new capital flows and forms as Delhi undergoes massive spatial, and economic expansion. Secondly, neoliberal urban development is also marked by a series of mass evictions of the city's existing informal, indigenous economy as degraded urban forms. In tracking the unfolding 'worlding' of the city, the dissertation is interested in the production of locality at the scale of the city, the ways by different sites, networks and neighborhoods articulate with the process, and how locality is produced through a series of inclusions and exclusions. In the first half of the dissertation, the focus is the conjectural emergence of conditions of transformation, mainly through the articulation of state urban renewal policies which promote privatized urban development, judicial eviction orders and media circulated calls for the building of a new 'upgraded' city to replace the old. This, as a new 'globalized' and aestheticized imaginary of the nation, city and its citizens takes shape. In the second half, the dissertation examines shows how upgradation and mass eviction have played out in Delhi neighborhoods, juxtaposing the experience of middle class areas, who's activism has been vital in putting forth a new vision of the city, with two cases of displacement. These are the demolition of the city's slums, and secondly the sealing or closure of large networks of indigenous/informal traders. In all three cases, the dissertation outlines ethnographically how residents receive, perceive and negotiate changes in relation to their memories, habitus, and local knowledges of the old, and how they engage with state and political actors, judicial fiat, party politics and the structures of the city's mass democracy to encourage or oppose urban reforms. In its conclusion, it argues that upgradation and eviction notwithstanding, activism across classes has engendered a common critique of governance among residents. / text

The aim of this study is to investigate enabling strategies toward poverty reduction under the broader concept of empowerment through participation. It is believed that such a strategy would decrease the cost of social policies by redefining the problem of poverty as an individual problem rather than a structural one rooted in social and economic policies. By following this reasoning, the main aim is defined as reducing the number of poor instead of poverty itself as a part of wider policies. Within this framework, the central government of Turkey has prepared a project to the World Bank called Social Risk Mitigation Project. Vast number of people has applied to Social Solidarity Fund to benefit form this scheme. In the thesis, the information given by the applicants is evaluated to assess various dimensions of poverty experienced by the applicants, including education, employment, income, and household structure. It is found out that despite the heterogeneity of the poverty experiences across different social groups and geographical regions, there are also common experiences such as wide spread lack of social security among all groups. It is also striking that there are relatively well-educated household head that applied to the scheme. This is the worrying given the fact that one of the main objectives of the scheme is to solve poverty problem by increasing the education level of the targeted poor population.

With the increase of people living in this kind of precarious settlement, it is necessary to establish accurate information that direct the public policies for urban improvement. Therefore, this work builds a historical overview of the process of formation and growth of the slums of the city, since the nineteenth century, and investigates how this phenomenon contributed to the expansion of the urban fabric of the city. The object of study is conceptualized according to the criteria for land ownership, urbanization, infrastructure and housing, and as defining characteristics, the illegality of land, the organizational setting, the absence of at least one of the basic public services and the precariousness of the dwellings. The method employed starts from the comparative analysis of textual elements (books, magazines, newspapers) and graphics (maps, plans, photographs), assuming that the slums are formed out of a logic, not being a natural product of the medium. The result of this exercise are forms under the name of each slum, its location, its area, the number of its dwellings and occupants, its time of life, its land tenure, the typology of its buildings, its existing infrastructure, its environmental condition and its zoning the land use. Finaliza com duas classificações gerais, levando em consideração a configuração geográfica e urbanística de cada favela, destacando aquelas localizadas em zona de preservação ambiental. Ends with two general classifications, taking into account the geographical e urban configuration of each slum, highlighting those located in the environmental preservation zone. / Esta dissertação identifica, caracteriza e classifica, em uma perspectiva urbanística, as favelas da cidade de João Pessoa, capital da Paraíba, através de um diagnóstico da situação desses aglomerados. Com o aumento de pessoas habitando nesse tipo de assentamento precário, é necessário estabelecer informações precisas que direcionem as políticas públicas de melhoramento urbano. Para tanto, este trabalho constrói um panorama histórico do processo de formação e crescimento das favelas da cidade, desde o século XIX, e investiga como esse fenômeno contribuiu para a expansão do tecido urbano municipal. O objeto de estudo está conceituado de acordo com os critérios de posse de terra, urbanização, infraestrutura e habitação, tendo, como características definidoras, a ilegalidade fundiária, a configuração orgânica, a ausência de pelo menos um dos serviços públicos básicos e a precariedade das habitações. O método utilizado parte da análise comparativa de elementos textuais (livros, revistas, jornais) e gráficos (mapas, plantas, fotografias), pressupondo que as favelas são constituídas a partir de uma lógica, não sendo produto natural do meio. O resultado desse exercício são fichas com a denominação de cada favela, sua localização, sua área, o número de seus domicílios e ocupantes, seu tempo de vida, sua situação fundiária, a tipologia de suas construções, sua infraestrutura existente, seu condicionante ambiental e seu zoneamento de uso do solo. Finaliza com duas classificações gerais, levando em consideração a configuração geográfica e urbanística de cada favela, destacando aquelas localizadas em zona de preservação ambiental.

Esta Tese tem como objeto de análise a política habitacional voltada para a população de baixa renda de Belo Horizonte, a partir de 1990. Essa política foi analisada nas suas formas de manifestação, materializadas nos modelos de produção de novos assentamentos de interesse social e de intervenção urbana em favelas. Dados os diferentes contextos e momentos políticos examinados no decorrer das décadas de 80 e 90, essa política habitacional assumiu contornos diversos. Tais contornos foram verificados na emergência, complementação, simultaneidade e flexibilidade desses modelos hoje polarizados. Buscava-se a compreensão de uma lógica dual de sua manifestação polarizada. Constatou-se que a lógica dessa política habitacional que oscila entre a produção de conjuntos habitacionais e a urbanização e regularização de favelas está relacionada aos diferentes modos de produção do capital, do mercado do solo e da moradia. Verificou-se também que, em um ambiente de contradições, um modelo se sustenta com a existência do outro e ao mesmo tempo tende a atender a uma mescla de interesses dos diferentes atores, reiterando as desigualdades sócio-espaciais. / This thesis has as its object of analysis house politics focused on low income population from Belo Horizonte city since 1990. That politics was analyzed in terms of its configuration, which took shape through production model for new settlement of social interest and through urbanization of slums. Given different contexts and political moments examined in the 80 and 90 years, house politics assumed several contours. Such contours were ascertained on emergence, summation, simultaneity and flexibility of those models which nowadays are polarized. The understanding of a dual logic for those polarized manifestations was sought. It was confirmed that the logic of that house politics, which oscilates betwen production of new settlement and urbanization with regularization of slums, is related to the different ways of capital production, land market and housing. It was also ascertained that in environment of contradiction one model bears itself with the existence of another, and at the same time tends to consider a blend of interest from different actors reiterating social and spacial inequalities.
