Políticas públicas y renovación urbana en Guayaquil: las administraciones social cristianas (1992-2000) / Políticas públicas y renovación urbana en Guayaquil: las administraciones social cristianas (1992-2000)

Abstract

As many processes of urban development are focal points for conflicts of interest and social struggles, it appears very interesting to understand to what extent urban planning and management processes convey a particular ideo-political model in a city like Guayaquil: such as the model undertaken by the Christian Social Party over the past two decades, in which an approach to business management of urban administration was applied. The transition from urban administration from past decades “plagued by client-based strategies with somewhat chaotic results” to an investment model of council administration can be very illustrative.
