Spatial Differentiation and Governance in the Americas

November 17-19, 2005

U.S. and Latin American researchers will discuss the problems recent trends in spatial residential patterns pose for governance in large cities in the Americas. The panels, "Changing Patterns of Spatial Segregation" and "Inequality in the City", will focus on the impact that socio-spatial segregation has on reshaping the metropolis and the location of public services demand.
