- Democratizing Urban Development : Community Organizations for Housing Across the United States and Brazil, Paperback by Donaghy, Maureen M., ISBN 1439914060, ISBN-13 9781439914069, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US
The author explores community organizations for housing in the US and Brazil, arguing that if cities are to be more inclusive, community organizations representing the interests of low-income residents need to be part of decision making, showing how these organizations use different strategies that lead to achievements in housing policies, programs, and institutions. She focuses on efforts by community organizations to secure housing for low-income residents across Rio De Janeiro, São Paulo, Washington, DC, and Atlanta from 2011 to 2016. She considers how community organizations are empowered through the strategies they use, why groups take on specific strategies, and the outcomes of the strategies for ensuring housing and democratic governance. She discusses civil society, urban development, and housing across the US and Brazil; the typology of strategies, the factors behind the choices of strategies among community organizations, and outcomes of these strategies, arguing that ideology, the organization's relationship with the state, political opportunities, and resources impact the choice of strategies; and case studies of specific organizations in the cities.
