The simultaneous city: introduction to the global-south

Abstract

Objectives

This work seeks to reflect on the urban processes that produce the transformation of urban structures in the 21st century between the impacts of globalization and its neoliberal accent, processes that generate a renewed configuration of inequalities in the space of cities, especially in the denominated as Metropolitan. It is also necessary to study and give visibility, from its conceptualization, to the spaces of poverty and inequality that appear today in the urban world, in all the countries of the world. And finally, establish the category of South-Global between the conceptualization of Simultaneous City.

Methodology

An analysis of the production of knowledge on the categories of "Global South" and "Simultaneous City" is carried out to establish the possible processes linked to the structure of inequality presented by cities. There is a bibliographical review and review and treatment of previous studies, in the process of checking work.

Conclusions

The urban order-disorder manifest in all cities, facing the globalized neoliberal transformation of its spatiality, at the threshold of the 21st century, is a process that leads to the simultaneous realization of spaces of hierarchical social fragmentation, in all the major cities of the world.

Originality

This work is supported in others existing publications in the development of a research that has been carried out in recent years and is in the production phase of a final text, aimed at specialists in studies about the city.
