Experiencias de gestión de riesgos en Lima: actores y territorios urbanos

Abstract

Risk management in Lima is made through specific actions, spatially and by sectors. This situation is partially explained by the absence of metropolitan management, as well as public policy fragmentation. Risk management actions essentially are based on local mobilizations, specific conflicts, or support from outside institutions. This article suggests analyzing a series of actions implemented according to financing opportunities or the mobilization of local actors. It proposes a non-exhaustive panorama of risk management experiences in Lima and tries to identify the actors, the territories, and the mechanisms employed. Thus it provides elements for reflection on risk management modalities and on the stakes involved in the implementation of a risk management policy in an urban agglomeration on the scale of Lima/Callao.
