Abstract

In this article, we analyse the structural causes of inequality in Lima – beginning with a review of the historical context – to propose a multidimensional approach to urban inequality. We discuss spatial, public-institutional and political-social fragmentation and how these factors contribute to the reproduction of urban inequality. We supplement this discussion by describing two initiatives that contributed to the creation of a collective understanding of inequality and strategies to deal with it. First, we worked with marginalized social groups promoting collective care practices to address food insecurity resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Along with this, we developed a National Housing and Urban Planning Policy with the Peruvian Ministry of Housing, Construction and Sanitation that included a definition of urban inequality and the creation of an index for urban inequality. In each case, we discuss the difficulties faced, whether by citizens or the state, in trying to reach relevant solutions to address inequalities.

在秘鲁利马建立对城市不平等的共识，以制定相关解决方案

在这篇文章中，我们分析了利马不平等的结构性原因——从回顾历史背景开始——以提出一种解决城市不平等的多维方法。我们讨论了空间、公共制度和政治社会碎片化，以及这些因素如何导致城市不平等的再现。我们通过描述两项举措来补充这一讨论，这两项举措有助于建立对不平等的集体理解和应对不平等的战略。首先，我们与边缘化社会群体合作，促进集体护理做法，以解决新冠肺炎大流行造成的粮食不安全问题。与此同时，我们与秘鲁住房、建设和卫生部制定了一项国家住房和城市规划政策，其中包括对城市不平等的定义和建立城市不平等指数。在每一种情况下，我们都会讨论公民或国家在试图达成解决不平等问题的相关解决方案时所面临的困难。

期刊介绍： Environment and Urbanization aims to provide an effective means for the exchange of research findings, ideas and information in the fields of human settlements and environment among researchers, activists and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in low- and middle-income nations and between these and researchers, international agency staff, students and teachers in high-income nations. Most of the papers it publishes are written by authors from Africa, Asia and Latin America. Papers may be submitted in French, Spanish or Portuguese, as well as English - and if accepted for publication, the journal arranges for their translation into English. The journal is also unusual in the proportion of its papers that are written by practitioners.
