Projeto urbano e operação urbana consorciada em São Paulo: limites, desafios e perspectivas

In the contemporary city, urban design emerges as a counterpoint to all the practices resulting from large-scale planning. It introduces a vision of strategic management with norms and reflexive procedures articulated in a thoughtful set of actions and instruments of transformation of space, considering an inclusive logic. In Brazil, the Urban Consortium Operation introduces a contemporary vision of urban design, which goes beyond traditional urban zoning. The gains for society and the built environment are hardly significant, private sector action predominating due to the lack of an urban project. This article, based on the case of the Agua Branca Urban Operation, Sao Paulo, discusses the fragility of this instrument in the face of the transformations underway in this region controlled by property

A urgência das águas: intervenções urbanas em áreas de mananciais

The relation between urban and environmental policies translate into the challenge of formulating answers to the urban pressure versus the environmental preservation. In watershed areas of Sao Paulo Metropolitan Area, the dimension of these challenges is particularly significant, mainly due to the clash between environmental and urban policies, which are faced with spontaneous and precarious occupation processes in protected areas. This article sets the institutionalization panorama of public policies – urban and environmental - in Sao Bernardo do Campo, Billings sub-basin, emphasizing on the implementation of urban planning tools that integrate housing and environment. One can conclude that the challenges to recover watershed areas go beyond the imposition of legal landmarks. They primordially depend on innovative intervention strategies that involve civil society and may signal a real transformation to the reality faced by protected drainage basins.

Metodologia de avaliação qualitativa das ações dos Comitês de Bacias com ênfase na gestão integrada: o Comitê do Alto Tietê em São Paulo

This paper presents a method of qualitative evaluation of the actions of the river basin committee, giving emphasis to the theory of integrated management. It presents the theory of integrated management of river basins and its relation with the Politics of the State of Sao Paulo on water resources. The methodology is arranged from one ensemble of qualitative indicators implicit in the concept of articulation that measure in a particularized way each aspect of the phenomenon. The methodology is implemented by the study of the High Tiete River Committee, entity that is responsible for the management of water resources in the Sao Paulo Metropolitan Region. The results allow verifying not only the level of articulation of its actions, but also in what aspects this forum has contributed to the integrated management of the metropolitan region.

A discussao quanto a subjetividade da imagem dos lugares ou situacoes e apontada como um dos fatores criticos das diretrizes dos programas propostos pelos orgaos internacionais, pois pode ser influenciada pela percepcao pessoal relacionada a uma impressao individual, a qual pode variar completamente entre pessoas do mesmo grupo etario, mas com diferentes interesses. Faz-se uma critica, em primeiro lugar, ao estimulo para a criacao de planos e propostas que nao sao aplicadas, nem fiscalizadas e que, em situacoes pontuais, recebem o merito do contexto global da cidade; e, em segundo, as rotulacoes e premios que omitem o contexto geral das cidades, mas que evidenciam acoes pontuais, que deveriam ter amplitude de politica publica.

THE RIGHT TO THE CITY: THE GUIDELINES GLOBAL POLICIES FOR AGING ABSTRACT In this article are treated general aspects relating to the development and planning of public policies that advocate population aging, and health indicators, such as longevity and maintenance of functional capacity, as qualifying mentors of public health and, consequently, the improvement of urban living spaces in cities. The parallel approach is performed by questioning programs for the elderly that are characterized by the implementation of actions in segments (parts) of unconnected cities with each other, but getting a global title. To this end we present the actions of the World Health Organization (WHO), the European Commission and the Age-Friendly Cities Project. A discussion about the subjectivity of the image of the places or situations is seen as a critical factor guideline of proposed programs by international bodies, as may be influenced by personal perception related to an individual print, which can vary quite between people of the same age but with different interests. It will be a critical, first, to stimulate the creation of plans and proposals that are not applied or enforced and that, in specific situations, given the merits of the overall context of the city; and, second, to labels and awards that omit the general context of cities, but show specific actions, which should have public policy amplitude.
