JIMENEZ-CORRALES, Andrés. Urban renewal in Central America: urban-territorial activities of the Inter-American Development Bank in Costa Rica and Panama. LiminaR [online]. 2020, vol.18, n.2, pp.17-28.  Epub 10-Dic-2020. ISSN 2007-8900.  https://doi.org/10.29043/liminar.v18i2.755.

In Latin American, local governments, international organizations, and investors are increasingly interested in the renewal and transformation of urban downtown areas. This article explores the Inter-American Development Bank’s participation therein using as a methodology the study of IDB diagnoses and plans for urban-territorial renewal and transformation of San José, Costa Rica, and Panama City. Results demonstrate how multilateral banks support urban-territorial renewal projects that encourage investment, as an expression of neoliberal urbanism.

Palabras llave : urban areas; city planning; urban renewal; international organizations; Inter-American Development Bank.
