Se necesitan políticas innovadoras para romper el círculo vicioso del transporte urbano en LAC. El objetivo final debe ser un transporte urbano confiable, eficiente, de calidad y sostenible. El estudio describe las políticas de transporte urbano implementadas en la región, destacando los impactos tangibles siempre que sea posible, y las oportunidades para mejorar la política de transporte urbano. Se sugiere un enfoque doble, basado en: (i) políticas orientadas a los servicios de infraestructura, además de las políticas más comunes orientadas a los activos de infraestructura; y (ii) políticas integradas, dirigidas simultáneamente al transporte público y privado, que incorporen dimensiones como la tarificación por congestión y la gestión del uso del suelo.

Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 130 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research under way in specialized areas. The Handbook of Latin American Studies is the oldest continuing reference work in the field. Katherine D. McCann is acting editor for this volume. The subject categories for Volume 57 are as follows: Electronic Resources for the Social Sciences Anthropology Economics Geography Government and Politics International Relations Sociology
