"Ecobarrios en América Latina" recognizes and exposes the eco-neighborhood movement as a series of community alternatives capable of contributing to the transitional processes towards urban sustainability. In accordance with the above, the text allows the reader to know the considerations prior to the concept of eco-neighborhood. As well as the influence of the u201cecoaldeasu201d on it. After these initial considerations, the work directs its efforts to explain: the origins; the current situation and the urban, community, and public policy contributions, among others, made by the eco-neighborhood program in Bogotá and in other Colombian cities. Thirdly, the writing contextualizes the urban, environmental and socio-economic problems in Mexico City, this with the objective of presenting the necobarrios as a transversal movement between: public policies, programs, workshops and other self-managed resources directed towards sustainability. By way of conclusion, the book collects significant cases of eco-neighborhoods in other Latin American countries and introduces the transition movement as a horizon for the future.
