Abstract:Resumo No contexto dos megaeventos recentes no Brasil – Copa do Mundo 2014 e Olimpíadas 2016 –, os projetos urbanos implantados indicam o fortalecimento do padrão corporativo de produção das cidades, em uma crescente hegemonia da lógica de rentabilidade, financeirização e gestão privada de bens e serviços coletivos, viabilizados por grandes investimentos públicos. Imprimem no espaço uma seletividade e exclusividade de uso e consumo de mercado, associado ao atual ciclo da globalização financeira e ao urbanismo … Show more
“…In Latin America, the broad-brush picture holds that the poor express their needs either through popular participation channels or through radical social movements and protests (Collier and Handlin 2009;Montambault 2015). Across the world, many studies discuss Lefebvre's (1991) notion of the right to the city and its appeal to marginalised urban populations (Harvey 2003;Lelandais 2014;Souza 2018;Banerjee-Guha 2010). These studies draw on Marxist or Gramscian readings of hegemony and counter-hegemony, or use Foucauldian notions of governmentality and counter-governmentality (see, e.g., Appadurai 2001).…”

“…Other critical studies highlight how the neoliberal capitalist policies that drive urban planning across the globe result in a centralization of wealth and power in the hands of a few by dispossessing the rest of the population of their wealth or land (Harvey, 2003). Studies of 'accumulation by dispossession' demonstrate how urban planning violates many urbanites' right to the city by excluding them from a life in the city (Lefebvre, 1991;Banerjee-Guha, 2010;Souza, 2018). Sometimes the exclusion takes a very direct form, as in evictions.…”

“…In the event of eviction, authorities in Recife and many other Brazilian cities had long provided residents with substitute housing, in contrast to many other countries in Latin America (or elsewhere) where eviction is tantamount to expulsion from the area. However, in the last decade, this pro-poor ethos has changed, as manifested in the developments for the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Summer Olympics, in which commercial interests trumped social ones (Santos et al, 2014;de Souza, 2017;Souza, 2018). Various studies demonstrate that urban planning in Brazil has, recently, been replaced by real estate interventions (Rolnik, 2013;Nobre, 2017).…”
This article provides an ethnographic perspective on urban planning by presenting the creative practices of marginalized slum residents in Recife, Northeast Brazil, who are affected by planners’ decisions. It argues that such a perspective contributes to current critical urban theory in three ways. First, while many studies of urban planning follow the temporality of the timeframe of a particular project (‘project time’), this analysis emphasizes the timeframe of the lives of the affected residents (‘people's time’). Second, it attends to diversity, taking account of the variety of affected residents and the diverse consequences of urban planning on their lives. Third, it shows how urban interventions — similar to marriage, divorce, the birth of children and the death of loved ones — are high‐impact life events for the urban poor. Finally, the article assesses the engagement between ethnography and critical urban theory and argues in favour of ‘grounding’ the latter better in the analysis of actual practices and experiences.
“…Especificamente no Brasil, elites empresariais incorporaram seus interesses em políticas de desenvolvimento local, com a privatização do setor público e da infraestrutura coletiva, eliminando-se os monopólios estatais para a prestação de serviços públicos como educação, saúde, segurança, transporte, etc. (Souza, 2018).…”
Resumo O presente artigo procura investigar, a partir de levantamentos realizados no município de Araraquara – SP, a relação entre sistemas de transporte público e o desenvolvimento urbano, assim como também analisar o papel do Estado e da política neoliberal nesse contexto. Para isto, foi realizado um extenso levantamento bibliográfico sobre Araraquara, buscando caracterizar e delinear a evolução histórica dos sistemas de transporte público. Essas análises foram realizadas com o apoio de ferramentas de Sistemas de Informação Geográfica (SIG). Pode-se afirmar que existe uma profunda conexão entre os sistemas de transporte público e o desenvolvimento urbano, bem como o papel do poder público como um instrumento de um processo neoliberal de especulação imobiliária que impacta o ambiente urbano de forma negativa.
