Gobernanza del agua en la ciudad de São Paulo: actores sociales, degradación socioambiental y acciones públicas innovadoras

Abstract

O padrão de urbanização da cidade de São Paulo resultou na degradação de seus recursos hídricos. O cenário é de córregos contaminados, várzeas ocupadas por favelas, ausência de rede coletora e de tratamento de esgotos. Políticas públicas voltadas à recuperação de rios e córregos urbanos, ainda são tímidas. Esses córregos podem ser importantes prestadores de serviços ecossistêmicos. Este artigo analisa políticas públicas visando a recuperação ambiental de córregos urbanos, enquanto novo paradigma na gestão dos recursos hídricos.

“…Environmental Sustainability Guidelines: Guidelines that guarantee the safety and maintenance of natural resources, particularly water bodies that receive wastewater. [1,6,13,22,23] Financing: Financing of works for the implantation or expansion of sewage treatment and collection systems.
