This chapter aims to contribute to the debate on financial system reform. The first part describes what is perceived to be a massive regulatory failure, a breakdown that goes all the way from regulatory fundamentals to prudential implementation. The second part discusses some implications of recent events for financial sector regulation. It argues that to avoid a repetition of the financial crisis, we need both to change public policies that contributed to the crisis (particularly the mortgage crisis) and to institute financial reforms. Desirable reforms of public policy regarding real estate lending include promoting consumer protection and reducing subsidies. Financial regulation must also be international. The creation of supranational regulatory structures has become increasingly urgent in a world in which institutions and counterparties are truly international.

Existem diversas mudanças espaciais que ocorrem nas cidades, de acordo com estrutura, processo, função e forma. No caso das localidades turísticas, essas alterações urbanas merecem maior atenção devido à sua complexidade e necessidade do turismo em utilizar os elementos deste espaço. Dentre as mudanças espaciais urbanas estão as referentes às políticas e espaços públicos, à especulação imobiliária, à segregação socioespacial e às novas centralidades urbanas. É no surgimento destas que ocorre uma dinâmica contraditória de concentração e descentralização dos espaços urbanos, redefinindo as relações centro-periferia. Nesta perspectiva, o tecido urbano é reorganizado e fragmentado junto às novas localizações das empresas de comércio e serviços, como as de turismo. O resultado é o surgimento de espaços internos de produção, moradia e de consumo que alteram o valor destas áreas, criando centros com funções distintas que contribuem na segregação socioespacial. No contexto de turismo e urbanização, este ensaio, sustentando-se no conhecimento teórico da geografia urbana, propõe-se a auxiliar as pesquisas de turismo urbano, através da discussão a respeito das novas centralidades urbanas. Urban geography and the new centralities as support to research in tourist citie ABSTRACT There are various spatial changes that occur on the cities, according to structure, process, function and form. In the case of the tourist locations, these urban changes deserve greater attention due to its complexity and tourism's necessity of use of elements of the space. Among the urban spatial changes are those related to public policy and spaces, real estate speculation, the socio-spatial segregation and the new urban centralities. It is on the emergence of these, that happens one contradictory dynamics of concentration and decentralization of urban, redefining center-periphery relations. In this perspective, the urban contexture is rearranged and fragmented along the new localizations of trade and services companies, like the tourism ones. The result is the rise of internal spaces of production, housing and consumption that alter the value of these areas, creating centers with different functions that contribute to the socio-spatial segregation. In the context of tourism and urbanization, this assay, based on urban geography's theoretical knowledge, proposes to help the researches on urban tourism through the discussion of the new urban centralities. KEYWORDS: Tourism and Urbanization; Tourism and Urban Spaces; New Centralities.

The essay attempts to fill the gaps found in knowledge and practice for conceptualizing local housing marketplaces in public policy administration. Dichotomous conceptualization in terms of homeownership and rental housing led to inefficient local housing marketplaces and affordability issues. The rationally evolving economic concept of local housing marketplaces is to financially leverage every family and stimulate investing in landed properties for decent homes. Hence, the Housing Act of 1949 reasonably envisaged every American family having access to a decent home as the great equalizer. Social change to rational conceptualization of local housing marketplace would help resolve affordability issues. Then, complementary civic engagement through community-based nonprofit real estate management programs highlighted could ensure social justice.
