Resumen:
A summary of the research report resulting from two workshops in Mexico City and Santiago de Chile, 2004. As the growing Latin American population becomes more urban, the importance of the way cities develop and are managed for greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions and associated pollution happens to be a central point of intervention for addressing climate change. This report explores the interactions between both local and global socioeconomic and institutional processes and the carbon cycle in the cities of Mexico, Mendoza, Buenos Aires and Santiago. It analyses how specific pathways of urban development interact to influence land and energy use; and how different mixes of forces or underlying factors (e.g. economic and socio-demographic dynamics, liberalization) operate at diverse scales to produce cities? greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions trajectories.
