"El que sabe sólo de Derecho, tampoco sabe de Derecho" podría decirse aplicando al ámbito jurídico lo que Lichtenberg dijera respecto a la química en el siglo XVIII. Y es que sin la inclusión de consideraciones políticas, sociológicas y económicas básicas, un análisis sobre el derecho a la vivienda no podría ir más allá de presentar una necesario pero limitada recopilación de las normas nacionales e internacionales que rigen la materia. En la medida en que la finalidad de este libro no es otra que la de aportar las principales claves para comprender la situación actual del derecho a la vivienda en nuestro país, así como las causas que la han motivado, se opta por abordar aquí la cuestión desde y con una perspectiva jurídica complementada por apuntes interdisciplinares. Por otro lado, el crecimiento urbano derivado de una determinada interpretación del derecho a la vivienda ocupa un lugar propio en este trabajo. Tampoco aquí existen límites herméticos entre Derecho, Política y Economía. También aquí la realidad transversalidad. Una de las cuestiones a tratar es si con los valores y principios vigentes es posible otro tipo de urbanismo que permita una mayor eficacia del artículo 47 de la Constitución Española.

This groundbreaking first volume of the Series has a number of features that set it apart from other books on this subject: Firstly, it focuses on interpersonal, humanistic and ecological views and approaches to P/MH nursing. Secondly, it highlights patient/client-centered approaches and mental-health-service user involvement. Lastly, it is a genuinely European P/MH nursing textbook – the first of its kind – largely written by mental health scholars from Europe, although it also includes contributions from North America and Australia/New Zealand. Focusing on clinical/practical issues, theory and empirical findings, it adopts an evidence-based or evidence-informed approach. Each contribution presents the state-of-the-art of P/MH nursing in Europe so that it can be transferred to and implemented by P/MH nurses and the broader mental health care community around the globe. As such, it will be the first genuinely 21st century European Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing book.

This title presents a survey of the crime problem in Latin America, which takes a very broad and appropriately reductionist approach to analyse the determinants of the high crime levels, focusing on the negative social conditions in the region, including inequality and poverty, and poor policy design, such as relatively low police presence. The chapters illustrate three channels through which crime might generate poverty, that is, by reducing investment, by introducing assets losses, and by reducing the value of assets remaining in the control of households.

The geographic, social, and economic diversity of Mexico constitute a prime example of the challenges inherent to meeting individual needs in an increasingly crowded world. The drawings and essays comprise new ways of looking at theories and buildings in order to redefine the connection between housing and the city. This research is centered in drawings of 70 housing projects, creating a common language highlighting different attempts at reinventing the house not as isolated battles but as part of a strategy for reimagining how we want to live. This book showcases the pivotal voices that have shaped major cities through housing projects and explores how policies and ideas transform into built form, and how in turn buildings shape societies.

Residential segregation is a key issue for good governance in Latin American cities. The isolation of people of different social classes or ethnicities has potential political and social consequences, including differential access to and quality of education, health and other services. This volume uses the recent availability of geo-coded census data and techniques of spatial analysis to conduct the first detailed comparative examination of residential segregation in six major Latin American metropolises, with Austin, Texas, as a US comparison. It demonstrates the high degree of residential segregation of contemporary Latin American cities and discusses implications for the welfare of urban residents.
