Urbanism


1.)"Urban and spatial dimensions of a contemporary metropolis"

The project explores, from an urbanistic point of view, the physical, functional and spatial organization of urban activities in the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo (MRSP) from the 1980s, when the first signs of the beginning of a new economic and productive cycle emerged. The central hypothesis of the investigation is that the new economic and productive organization, in the current stage of a globalized capitalism, is creating, within the metropolis, distinct territories from those consolidated in the previous accelerated industrialization period, by processes that enlarge and revive urban inequalities.

2.) "Metropolis and environmental sustentability "

The research project examines the urban and environmental limits to the metropolitan expansion and transformation processes, seeking to define parameters that could articulate urban policies with environmental policies. It intends to guide the urbanistic practices and the urban administration, associated to paths of expansion and transformation of the metropolitan space, incorporating a physical-environmental dimension when dealing with urban problems. The new patterns of spatial segregation point to a deterioration and an increase in the number of precarious urban territories that reveal environmentally predatory processes, with repercussions for the whole operation of the city.
