ALUSHI, ANILA. « Youth transition policies in Milan and Vienna : Urban context, institutions, and governance dynamics ». Doctoral thesis, Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca, 2022. http://hdl.handle.net/10281/368940.
Texte intégralThe current period of human history can plausibly be identified as a global and urban era. Therefore, this thesis seeks to understand the dynamics between youth transition policies and institutional configurations since organization and social practices are changing, and young people's life chances and transitions are profoundly affected by macroeconomic conditions, institutional structures, and social background. The urbanization process is considered essential for explaining the macro changes in capitalistic societies under the neo-Marxist approach. Furthermore, we intend to combine this approach with the neo-Weberian, which considers the city as a whole local society and an important political actor. This approach makes it possible to think that the accelerated urbanization of the world emphasize the processes of convergence, provide for the circulation of models and at the same time stimulates differentiation on different scales. For this reason, the city is considered a crucial scale and institutional entity. Through an in-depth literature review, the focus is on understanding how organizational, social, and institutional practices are affected by the economic downturn, changing social expectations, and changing the socio-economic and political environment. Equally important analysing how the incentives and disincentives in education and training are changing based on the concept of activation and social investment. The analysis is based on a case-oriented approach which is considered the most suitable to embrace complexity in examining each case as a complex set of relationships with distinctive outcomes treated as singularities. Then we selected two cities Milan and Vienna, through multiple lenses of analysis, and highlight their context in strict relationship and interaction with the institutional architecture. This interlink and interaction through youth transition policies and institutional configurations embedded in a particular context such as that of a city are first, a way for moving beyond the ‘methodological nationalism’, and secondly, for focusing on their outcomes which are the reforming and redesigning of various institutional arrangements. After placing these policies within a socio-economic and institutional architecture, the thesis emphasizes some characteristics and elements that focus on crucial historical processes, adopting the discursive institutionalism framework for highlighting how the substantive content of ideas and the interactive process of discourse can take us beyond to explain dynamics of change in environment and in the conditions for the youth transition policies implementation.
DODARO, MARIA. « Active Cities for Activation Policies. Entrepreneurship support and young people in Milan and Barcelona ». Doctoral thesis, Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca, 2019. http://hdl.handle.net/10281/241267.
Texte intégralThe thesis deals with municipal entrepreneurship support policies (MESPs) through a comparison between the actions undertaken in this field by the municipalities of Milan and Barcelona and the experiences of young people up to thirty-five years of age. The theoretical framework has brought together the neo-Marxian and neo-Weberian approaches to urban policies and governance, and the socio-economic literature and theoretically valuable institutional documentation on entrepreneurship, also in the framework of welfare changes. Two analytical macro approaches emerged from this literature. The first highlights the convergence towards neoliberal governance and welfare models, oriented towards market and competitiveness at the expense of social cohesion. A trend of which the policies for entrepreneurship seem to constitute a paradigmatic example. The second one focuses on the peculiarities of the European city and on the compromise between growth and social inclusion that would characterise it, supporting the opposite thesis of the persistent difference between cities and of the divergence from the neoliberal logic. Against this background, the research focused on local differences and the role of municipal governments and their capacity to govern socio-economic and political changes. Besides, attention has been paid to the experiences of young people and policy outcomes in terms of redistribution of risks and opportunities. The analysis avails itself of an interpretative approach, a methodology based on the case study and the technique of the interview, and a comparative logic, which puts the differences and the related factors of influence at the centre of the study. After having placed MESPs within the socio-economic and institutional conditions of the two contexts, and given research findings, the thesis focused on the heterogeneity characterising different dimensions of MESPs. These include ideas and values, problems, objectives, measures and tools and outcomes. It highlighted how politics, institutional legacies, localised policy paradigms and governance arrangements interplay to shape specific and diverse local approaches to MESPs, thus affecting the capacity of city governments to govern socio-economic changes and to alter the unequal distribution of risks and opportunities for participants.

Texte intégralO objectivo desta investigação é estudar a relação estabelecida em Portugal desde a segunda metade do século XX entre desenvolvimento urbano e justiça espacial. Recorremos para tal a uma análise crítica sobre a articulação entre Política de Solos (PS) e Política de Habitação (PH), inquirindo sobre a relação que se estabelece - ou não - entre estas políticas públicas e qual o seu impacto no determinar do carácter mais ou menos justo do padrão de desenvolvimento urbano nacional. Através desta investigação visamos contribuir para a ilustração pormenorizada e factual do posicionamento do Estado Português perante a questão das mais-valias urbanísticas e determinar quais as consequências desse posicionamento. Em detalhe, queremos compreender qual o papel desempenhado pelo controlo público das mais-valias urbanísticas na articulação entre as Políticas de Solos e de Habitação e investigar a forma como evoluíram, ao longo do período histórico em análise, os diferentes mecanismos da sua geração e captura. Para atingir estes objectivos recorremos a uma análise a dois níveis. A um nível macro, com vista à produção de uma matriz contextualizadora, efectuámos uma análise comparativa de Portugal com outros países em que a captura das mais-valias urbanísticas se concretiza de forma diferente. A um nível micro, centrámos a nossa investigação num município particular da AML, Alcochete, para efectuar uma análise de pormenor com vista a ilustrar os processo técnicos e políticos que definem o padrão vigente de captura de mais-valias urbanísticas. Sustentada metodologicamente na análise documental dos documentos estratégicos prospectivos e instrumentos de gestão territorial dos territórios em análise, documentação de suporte à tomada de decisão política sobre a matéria em análise, entrevistas com decisores políticos e técnicos municipais, esta investigação pretendeu, para além de dar resposta às questões fundacionais identificadas, avançar propostas específicas que potenciem a política de ordenamento do território como factor de progresso e de promoção de uma maior justiça social e espacial.
ABSTRACT: The objective of this research is to study the relationship established in Portugal, since the second half of the 20th Century, between urban development and spatial justice. We used a critical analysis of the relationship between Land Policy (PS) and Housing Policy (PH), questioning the relationship between these public policies and what their impact is in determining the fairness and inclusiveness of the national pattern of urban development. Through this research we aim to contribute to the detailed empirical illustration of the position of the Portuguese State towards the issue of urban development and determine the consequences of this positioning. In detail, we want to understand the role played by the public control of urban development gains in the articulation between Land and Housing Policies and to investigate how the different mechanisms of these gains generation and capture have evolved over the historical period under review. To achieve these objectives we have used a two-level analysis. At a macro level, with a view to producing a contextualising matrix, we have made a comparative analysis of Portugal with other countries where the capture of urban development gains materializes differently. At a micro level, we focused our research in a private municipality of AML, Alcochete, to carry out a detailed analysis to illustrate the technical and political processes that define the current pattern of capture of urban value added. Methodologically supported by a documental analysis of the prospective strategic documents and territorial management instruments of the territories under review, the documentation that supported political decision-making on the subject under analysis, interviews with political decision-makers and municipal technicians, this research aimed, in addition to responding to the foundational issues identified, to advance specific proposals that can potentially strengthen Planning policies role as a factor of progress and the promotion of greater social and spatial justice.

Texte intégralEsta dissertaÃÃo analisa a dimensÃo estÃtica das narrativas sobre a violÃncia urbana apresentada pelo programa policial cearense Barra Pesada, tendo como objetivo compreender os repertÃrios simbÃlicos e sistemas classificatÃrios veiculados nas imagens, palavras e sons deste noticiÃrio. A investigaÃÃo de uma amostra de programas gravados, relativa ao perÃodo de um ano (Junho de 2012 a Julho de 2013), permitiu constatar a forma como as ocorrÃncias violentas e seus protagonistas sÃo apresentados pela mÃdia, discutindo o papel da televisÃo no processo de construÃÃo social do fenÃmeno da violÃncia urbana. Para analisar textos e imagens em movimento foi utilizada uma combinaÃÃo de tÃcnicas de pesquisa conhecida como âEtnografia de Telaâ, apoiada em procedimentos prÃprios da pesquisa antropolÃgica, tais como a longa imersÃo em campo, a ferramenta do diÃrio de campo e o recurso da observaÃÃo sistemÃtica extenuante; na crÃtica cinematogrÃfica; e na anÃlise do discurso. Essas tÃcnicas possibilitaram a anÃlise de uma coletÃnea de imagens, palavras e sons, e de suas significaÃÃes simbÃlicas veiculadas pelo telejornal estudado, mantendo um diÃlogo constante entre a anÃlise do verbal e do nÃo verbal. Nessa pesquisa, foi possÃvel verificar que a cobertura jornalÃstica nÃo apenas descreve as aÃÃes referentes à violÃncia urbana, mas tambÃm à parte integrante dos fenÃmenos e dramas sociais que se desenvolvem em decorrÃncia da notÃcia. Observou-se que o programa Barra Pesada busca legitimaÃÃo para atuar, nÃo apenas como um colaborador das agÃncias formais de controle, mas como um mecanismo alternativo de controle social e de justiÃa, reafirmando valores morais, oferecendo receitas de coesÃo social e propondo soluÃÃes para conter o avanÃo da violÃncia urbana e da inseguranÃa pÃblica.
This dissertation analyses the aesthetic dimension of narratives about urban violence presented by the police program âBarra Pesadaâ in the state of CearÃ, Brazil, aiming to understand the symbolic repertoires and the classification systems conveyed in the images, words and sounds of this newscast. The investigation of a recorded program sample, related to one-year period (June 2012 to July 2013), allowed to verify how the violent events and their protagonists are presented by the media, discussing the role of television in the social construction process of the urban violence phenomenon. To analyze text and motion pictures was utilized a combination of researching techniques, known as âEthnography of the Screenâ,supported by specific anthropological research procedures, such as the long immersion on the field, the tool of field diary and the resource of extenuating systematic observation; in cinematography critic; and in discourse analysis. These techniques allowed the analysis of a collection of images, words and sounds, and their symbolic meanings conveyed by the TV program studied, maintaining a constant dialogue between the analysis of the verbal and the nonverbal. In this research, it was possible verify that the media coverage not only describes the actions related to urban violence, but itâs also an integrant part of the phenomenon and the social dramas that are developed as a result of the news. It was observed that the program âBarra Pesadaâ look for legitimation to act, not only as a collaborator of formal control agencies, but as an alternative mechanism for social control and justice, reaffirming moral values, offering recipes for social cohesion and proposing solutions to contain the advance of urban violence and public insecurity.

Texte intégralThe public policies for the preservation of Brazilian cultural heritage have opted for the safeguard of some cities to the detriment of others. It is the purpose of this study, then, to discuss the urban areas that the National Institute of Historical and Artistic Heritage (Iphan) has cautioned, the goal being to understand which city heritage is relevant as a part of the mosaic that constitutes national identity. To achieve this objective, the ways in which the state perceives these areas of the cities were analyzed; first as city monuments, next as city histories and city documents, and finally as a view proposed in this study, as cities territories. In reference to the role of the cities, it has departed from the proposed argument by Lefebvre (2008) to understanding the process of urbanization as political, commercial, or industrial represented in this study, respectively, in the case studies of Iguape (SP), Oeiras (PI), and Cataguases (MG). From this analysis it can be stated that the beginning of the 21st century was characterized by an effort to reshape the presence of the Institute in the entire country, seeking to form a coherent group of heritage cities capable of linking Brazilian territory together. However, even with this new policy, it can be affirmed that in Brazil little held true because every day in all parts of the country important pillars of cultural identity are lost, whether architectural, natural or even the physical pillars of every-day social relations.

Texte intégralThis dissertation evaluates the process of urban revitalization of Santos City Center in course since the late 1980s. It is divided in five chapters. The first analyses the changes in the theory of central area public intervention from Modern to Contemporary periods and defines Santos Historical Center as the case study. The following chapter investigates the growth and the apogee of this area with the port expansion and the resulting wealth with coffee commerce. The third chapter deals with the City Center decay with the evasion of high-income strata and the resulting housing precariousness. The fourth chapter analyzes the law, the interventions and the projects referring to the area, over the period of two PT offices (1989-1992; 1993-1996). The fifth chapter continues these analyses during the old PPB offices (1997-2000; 2001-2004) with an opposite political view. Finally, the conclusion evaluates the process of growth and decline of Santos City Center and the changes in relation to urban planning policies for this area in the present context.

Texte intégralThis research approaches urban and regional planning in Brazil, and intends to discuss urban development policies at a federal level. The case studies employed in this work are the only two proposals of national urban policies developed in Brazil, during the years of 1975 and 2004. The research goals were defined in terms of comparatively analyzing the two referred proposals as directions to public decisions and actions towards urban and regional development. The research conclusions evidence that the distinct social, economical and political conditions of government, such as centralization/authoritarism, or decentralization/democratization, or even economic contexts can influence the contents and proposals of the urban public policies designed at federal level. There is also evidence that the manner in which the government is organized in this instance federalism - the intergovernmental relations, the decision making process, and the institutional, technical, regulatory instruments that support each Policy may limit the implementation of the plans, programs and actions of such policies, designed to improve urban and regional development.

Texte intégralThis job has the purpose to analyse the public architecture and town planning (urbanism) contests targeted in the urban space of Sao Paulo city, during the period between 1989 and 2004. The contests have been perceived as changes by public politics concerning the city. Examining the four municipal administrations, from the analysis of the contest main documents, judging processes and the prized designs, this dissertation identifies the urban design models and city foresights, as much as the city project design in itself, as far as the various social players involved. The contests, on the one hand, can deflect the vanguard of the urban thought developed by the government authorities in the different administrations or by the urban planning professionals as well. On the other hand, should be entirely out from the reality of the executive viability or from the local social needs. In any case, the contests present themselves as the pattern of the discussion about the urban space and the exposure of its conflicts.

A presente dissertação analisou o processo de implantação do Conjunto Habitacional São Bento, na periferia da Zona Sul da cidade de Marília-SP. Para realizar este estudo, foi necessário compreender o processo de ocupação do solo urbano desde a fundação da cidade, suas características mais importantes, bem como entender o processo de periferização da cidade, sobretudo, a expansão da Zona Sul, desde meados dos anos 1980. A análise percorreu o debate da área de sociologia urbana no que diz respeito aos efeitos perversos das políticas habitacionais no Brasil que, ao produzirem o espaço urbano, também constituem espaços de segregação, tão bem definidos pela ideia de enclave fortificado de Caldeira (2000). Além disso, a pesquisa demonstrou que as políticas habitacionais na cidade de Marília reforçam o processo de segregação urbana da cidade e são fortemente baseadas no populismo político e no privilégio dado aos interesses dos empresários da construção civil, ignorando, assim, as necessidades por habitação da população da cidade.
The present dissertation have analyzed the implementation process of São Bento Housing Set, in the outskirts of the South Zone of Marilia city, in Sao Paulo state, Brazil. To carry out this study, it was necessary to understand the process of urban land occupation since the foundation of the city, it's most important characteristics, as well as to understand the process of peripherization of the city, especially the expansion of the South Zone, since the mid 80s. The analysis covered the urban sociology debate with regard to the perverse effects of housing policies in Brazil, which as the cities grows, the segregations spaces grow as well, perfectly defined by the idea of a fortified enclave of Caldeira (2000). In addition, research has shown that housing policies in Marilia city reinforce the urban segregation process of the city and are strongly based on political populism and privileges that the construction business owners have, thus ignoring the housing needs of the city's population.

Texte intégralThis essay aims to outline an up-to-date urban panorama of the public policies implemented in the municipality of Santos, focusing the areas of interface between port and city and emphasizing the proposals which were realized within the last two decades. It deals with the conflict between the city and port managements, with emphasis on the comparative analysis of the plans developed for the city and port, with a temporal cut of the last century. It compares: Santos central area case with other port areas regeneration projects (Boston, Baltimore, London, Barcelona, Argentina, Rio de Janeiro Strategic Plan and Docks Station Project in Belém). It intends to answer the following questions: Would the strategies of these urban regenerations solve the conflicts between the city of Santos and its port? Would these strategies enable the regeneration of Santos central area?

Texte intégralIncludes bibliographical references (p. 109-113).
A study was carried out on policies to address the environmental damage caused by urban public transportation in megacities. Policy recommendations were proposed to alleviate the environmental impact of transportation in two existing megacities, Mexico City and Guangzhou City, using lessons learned from previous experiences in two industrialized countries, the US and Japan. The objectives of this study were as follows: - Review the environmental problems caused by urban transportation; - Examine policies previously tried in developed countries to counter the problems; - Examine methodologies to evaluate external costs of urban transportation from the perspective of environmental sustainability; - Propose, on the basis of case studies, measures to alleviate the environmental impact of transportation in existing megacities. The megacities of Mexico City, Guangzhou City, and Tokyo are suffering from similar environmental problems caused by transportation such as local air pollution of ozone, NOx and suspended particular matter. The causes of pollution such as lack of both internalizing environmental externalities and long-term perspective are common. Policy recommendations were made for each mega city, taking into account the city's historical, cultural, and political background. Through the case studies, the importance of proper enforcement of the policies as well as well-planned transportation policies was found. Only integrated transportation and environment policies and effective policy implementation will enable the recommendations proposed here to achieve the goal of more sustainable urban transportation systems.

Partindo da perspectiva dos estudos sobre governamentalidade iniciados por Michel Foucault, o presente trabalho analisa políticas urbanas nacionais e internacionais. São estudados o Programa de Pacificação de favelas do Governo do Estado do Rio de Janeiro e as políticas urbanas emuladas pela UN-HABITAT com o objetivo de identificar de que maneira se pensa o espaço urbano e os sujeitos políticos na contemporaneidade. Diferentes racionalidades liberais de governo são discutidas com o intuito de identificar rearticulações na forma através do qual se ordena o espaço urbano. O argumento é que o problema do governo, que no liberalismo clássico era conformado a partir de uma perspectiva moral ou normativa vai, em alguma medida, se rearticular em torno de uma perspectiva racional/econômica ou normalizada, típica do neoliberalismo. Em outras palavras, a forma através da qual se pensam sujeitos governantes e governados, em certa medida, se torna menos centrada em uma discussão a respeito de sujeitos morais e mais em torno de sujeitos racionais/econômicos.
Supported by the governmentality studies perspective initiated by Michel Foucault, this dissertation analyses national and international urban policies. The favelas Pacification Program of Rio de Janeiro s government and UN-HABITAT urban policies are the main objects of study. The objective is to identify how the urban space and political subjects are constituted as targets of intervention in contemporaneity. Liberal rationalities of government are discussed with the intent of identifying rearticulations in the way through which the urban space is organized. The argument is that the problem of government in classical liberalism was shaped by a moral or normative perspective. This perspective isrearticulated into a more normalized rational/economic rationality. In other words, the way through which political subjects are thought and acted upon is becoming less centered in moral subjects and more centered in a discussion about rational/economic individuals.

Texte intégralAlgunas de las características de la vida urbana como el estilo de vida sedentario, el riesgo de sufrir accidentes de tráfico, los altos niveles de contaminación atmosférica, el ruido, el calor y la falta de espacios verdes pueden tener efectos perjudiciales en nuestra salud y bienestar. Aunque se sabe que estas exposiciones afectan nuestra salud, existe poca cuantificación de estos factores de riesgo en el contexto urbano. Las evaluaciones del impacto sobre la salud cuantitativas (HIA por sus siglas en inglés) proporcionan datos sobre los factores de riesgo en la salud e información del equilibrio entre beneficio y riesgo de las políticas públicas. Se estima que cada año casi 3,000 muertes prematuras, más de 50,000 años de vida ajustados por discapacidad (DALYs por sus siglas en inglés) y más de 20 millones de € de gastos directos en el sistema de salud que son atribuibles a las actuales políticas urbanas y de transporte en Barcelona, España. Esta tesis sugiere que el tráfico rodado en las ciudades necesita ser reducido mediante (1) la promoción del transporte activo (caminar, ir en bicicleta, transporte público), facilitada p.ej. por la expansión de la red de carril de bicicleta, y (2) con el aumento de los espacios verdes. Se estimó que el transporte activo y los espacios verdes proporcionan considerables beneficios netos para la salud a través del aumento de la actividad física y de la mitigación de las emisiones de contaminantes atmosféricos, ruido y calor asociadas al transporte motorizado. La presente tesis concluye que la HIA es una herramienta útil para la cuantificación anticipada de los impactos en la salud de las políticas públicas y se recomienda una aplicación extensiva de esta metodología

Texte intégralDuring the past several decades, most U.S. metropolitan areas have experienced strong suburbanization of housing and jobs (i.e., urban sprawl). The sprawl that arises from urban growth has become a big issue in many metropolitan areas in the U.S. In response, there has been increased interest in urban containment policies. There are contrasting views (planning-oriented vs. market-oriented) of urban sprawl and urban containment policies. Planning-oriented scholars asserted the problems of `geographic sprawl (GS)' and the positive effects of urban containment polices, while market-oriented scholars asserted the problems of `economic sprawl (ES)' and the negative or negligible effects of urban containment policies. Therefore, this dissertation analyzed whether urban containment policies affect urban sprawl, employment center formation, and urban commuting.
The results of this dissertation indicate that urban containment policies play an important role in affecting urban sprawl, employment center formation, and urban commuting, as well as explaining the contrasting views (planning-oriented vs. market-oriented) of urban containment policies. Implementing urban containment policies can produce positive effects such as compact development, which can promote J-H balance. However, as seen in the relationship between urban containment policies, urban sprawl and housing values, stronger urban containment policies can produce negative effects, such as traffic congestion and an increase in housing prices.

Texte intégralThis dissertation deals with the issues of residential segregation in the city of São Paulo. It argues that segregation has a significant impact on the access to public policies among the poorest population. Besides the discussion of the urban literature on segregation a concept generally mingled with the concepts of poverty and inequality as well as for the lack of access to basic public services , this dissertation presents some strategies for identifying segregated areas and a multivariate model of access to urban infrastructure policies. Besides the theoretical effort of changing the stress on the causes to the stress on the consequences of segregation, this dissertation presents an empirical effort: the construction of different indicators able to measure the impact of segregation over the access to public policies.

Texte intégralO presente estudo tem como área de abrangência e espaço urbano do Município de Dona Francisca. Entender esse espaço geográfico nos exigiu conhecer as relações que esse urbano exerce com seu rural, bem como as relações urbano/ regionais que esse espaço efetua com demais urbanos da Região da Quarta Colônia, pois estes espaços não podem ser explicados separadamente. Com a pesquisa bibliográfica centrada em referenciais teóricos que nos ofereceram suporte conceitual para desenvolver a temática optou-se pela categoria de formação sócioespacial definida por Milton Santos. Utilizou-se da pesquisa ação, da pesquisa participante e da observação participante, além da aplicação de questionários e de análises cartográficas. A pesquisa nos levou a perceber que as relações espaciais são efetuadas entre ambientes distintos caracteristicamente, mas é visível a continuidade e as influências que um ambiente exerce sobre o outro. Por mais que a globalização esteja disposta a homogeneizar esses ambientes, em pequenos municípios como Dona Francisca, e nos demais municípios da Região, essas diferenças entre o urbano e o rural, ainda são evidentes. As relações entre urbano e rural e entre urbanos que Dona Francisca desenvolve, são relações sócio-espaciais e fazem-se presentes em setores como o econômico, o político, o social, o ambiental e, principalmente, o cultural, identifica-se que essas desenvolvem-se, naturalmente, como também são endossadas através da aplicação de políticas públicas regionais. É nesse contexto de relações socioespaciais que a cidade de Dona Francisca e a Região da Quarta Colônia estão inseridos e foram nossos objetos de estudo.

Texte intégralThe crime, the fear of crime and violence are topics that increasingly occupy more often the agenda of discussions of civil society. The sensation of insecurity is experienced and lived by the society, specially on urban centers, and seems not to diminish but grow from time to time, even with more severe legal punishments of criminal policy. The theme, multidisciplinary and complex, brings a reflection to a possible collaboration of Urban Law as a instrument to prevent the factors of public insecurity. The relationship between urban decay, insecurity, principles and instruments under the new constitutional order on Urban Policy will be systematically develop, searching for support arguments that ties urban disorder and the degree of today apparent insecurity, even so, shows the contribution that Urban Law can provide in the turnaround of the background
O crime, o medo do crime e a violência são temas que ocupam cada vez com mais frequência a pauta de debates da sociedade civil. A sensação de insegurança vivida e vivenciada com especial destaque nos centros urbanos, tem se tornado cada vez mais capilarizada no tecido social e parece não regredir, mesmo com medidas de políticas criminais mais severas. O tema que é multidisciplinar e complexo, busca trazer à reflexão possível colaboração do Direito Urbanístico, funcionando como mecanismo de prevenção a fatores geradores de insegurança. A relação entre degradação urbana, insegurança, princípios e instrumentos decorrentes da nova ordem constitucional sobre Política Urbana serão abordados de forma sistemática, buscando argumentos que relacione desordem urbana e o grau de insegurança hoje percebido, e qual a contribuição que o Direito Urbanístico pode oferecer para reversão desse quadro

Texte intégralThe central objective of this work is the discussion of the formation of anticapitalist social movements that could resist to the barbarian tendencies of our present, a moment when capitalism reaches its logical limits, leaving the masses, the ―moneyless monetary subjects‖, completely uncertain about their future. Since that, in the 80s, the birth of the Workers Party (PT) represented the possibility of the construction of a revolutionary party in Brazil, and given the great importance of social reforms in the PTs political trajectory here included the urban reform , we decided that our main focus in this study should be the urban reform itself. From the point of view of the capitalist periphery, taking in account the particularities of the Brazilian situation in the context of globalization, we discuss the urban struggle and the expectations of these people towards the future, generated in the process of creating an urban reform project. We also discuss the tense situation of the people engaged in the social movements fighting for habitation, how they face the always present threat of being removed, expelled, and the violence that emerges in the context of land speculation and spoliation, and how, driven by the fetish of the institutionality, they try to fight back in the realm of the bourgeois law and the urban reform. Our analyzes faces the central ideas of this project, the making of the National Movement for Urban Reform (MNRU) in the process of Brazils national Constitution and the actions of the National Forum for Urban Reform (FNRU) in front of the difficulties involving the urban struggle and before the contingent and structural limits of the struggle for their rights. We discuss the prevalent influence that the group of political and intellectual ideas articulated by the PT and the FNRU exerts in the confront with the urban problems produced by the social injustices and inequalities inherent to the capitalist production of the city. We strongly point the building of the connection between the PT and the FNRU and the conversion of their symbolic capital as something structuring in this common trajectory: from the foundation of the party to present days, when, after winning the presidential election, the FNRU, supporting the PT administration, takes over, in the terrain of urban policies, the hole of running the social crises in the void of the politics. We argue that the professionalization and the institutionalization of the urban reform project are means of transforming its ideas according to the limits of the peripheral Brazilian market. Following a generation of left wing intellectuals who are now no more than liberal reformers, due to the defeat of socialism in the Twentieth century, the recent transformations in capitalism and the lack of revolutionary movements on the horizon, the urban reform project reaches a dead point. At the end, we try to set the crucial importance of utopia, as the only way of understanding our real situation and of seeing that we are already inserted in barbarism and social dissolution.
Sakizlioglu, Nur Bahar. « Impacts Of Urban Renewal Policies : The Case Of Tarlabasi-istanbul ». Master's thesis, METU, 2007. http://etd.lib.metu.edu.tr/upload/12608464/index.pdf.
Texte intégralMay, 2007, 296 pages Istanbul of 2000s has experienced a shift in urban policy approach from leading and maneuvering uneven, excessive and speculative urban growth, towards managing &lsquo
urban transformation&rsquo
that has been put implementation with urban (re)development / renewal / regeneration / revitalization initiatives. To examine the rise of these new policies for &lsquo
urban transformation&rsquo
in Istanbul of the 2000s for the entire restructuring of the city is the first and comprehensive aim of this study. In this respect, the political economic, social, dynamics that lied beneath the policy shift toward urban transformation and the associated alterations in the institutional and legislative configurations are discussed. Besides, a categorization of the extant &lsquo
urban transformation&rsquo
projects in Istanbul with different scopes and aims is provided and lastly the main elements and impacts of the urban transformation projects in the city are evaluated. The second and main aim of the study is to investigate the underlying features and intents, impacts of the new urban policies designed to renew the historical neighborhoods of Istanbul with a specific focus on the role of the municipal government as the key actor in the process. Attached to this, it is specifically targeted to examine the relationship between these new urban renewal policies, strategies and gentrification in inner city historical neighborhoods. To this end, the case of TarlabaSi renewal process, a deprived neighborhood in the old commercial and cultural center of Beyoglu-Istanbul, is analyzed giving detailed accounts on the renewal approach and the municipality&rsquo
s attitudes towards different stakeholders in the process, the initial impacts of the project in the neighborhood and lastly on the relation between renewal initiative and gentrification. Embracing a qualitative methodology, the study makes use of variety of data collection techniques, namely semi-structured in-depth interviews, document analyses, media analyses, participant and direct observations. Based on the analysis, the study firstly evaluates that the rise of the new policies, programs for urban transformation/ renewal in Istanbul of the 2000s refers to a new phase in the unplanned and highly uneven urbanization experience of Istanbul, which has been shaped by the neoliberal policies for more than twenty years. It also suggests that this new urbanization phase has been shaping with an approach, which sidelines the social aspects of urban transformation on behalf of the rent-oriented project implementations, plans that would make the urban redevelopment sector attractive for inter/national investments and which paves the way to the rewriting of the uneven urban development that would potentially result in the accentuation of the polarizations between the winners and the losers in the redistribution of the urban rents created as the result of these projects. Based on the analysis regarding the TarlabaSi renewal process, it is suggested in the study that renewal process in the neighborhood initiated by the municipality with a cultural and tourism based renewal strategy has been shaping with rent- oriented approach which excludes the social aspects of urban renewal. Leading the process, municipality has embraced an entrepreneurial attitude towards the investors and a selectively inclusive, encouraging one towards the property owners. However, the tenants, the groups with no legal tenancy status and the marginal groups, all of which constitute the majority of the neighborhood population have been the social groups that the municipality has not taken as the addressees but rather excluded within the renewal process. The initial implications of the renewal proposal at the neighborhood level have been speculative increases in the real estate prices, heightened interest of the big capital groups for renewal investments in TarlabaSi and an emerging appeal and interest of the middle classes for a living in TarlabaSi etc. Once these impacts are evaluated in relation to gentrification, the study argues that the renewal process that has been experiencing in TarlabaSi is preparing the infrastructure for gentrification in the neighborhood as the result of the municipal initiative. Urban renewal plans shaped by the municipality do not include any social mechanisms, measures and programs to prevent the displacement of the low-income and marginal groups living in TarlabaSi in this process, rather encourage a radical change in the socio-cultural profiles of the residents to create a &lsquo
new&rsquo
TarlabaSi as a prestigious cultural center in the city. In this sense, the study argues that this deprived, sociospatially stigmatized neighborhood in the historical city center is being created as a gentrifiable one with the municipal intervention in this renewal process. While such a trajectory of neighborhood change pinpoints the potential reproduction of the uneven development process that has carried TarlabaSi to the thresholds of renewal through this new renewal policy, it leaves the low-income disadvantaged groups living in TarlabaSi to face the very tangible problem of displacement.

This research’s purpose is to understand difficulties of families that reside in the area covered by CRAS Cará-Cará, in compliance with conditionalities before a segregated city. The urban formation process of Ponta Grossa, in relation to housing, was extremely segregating. In this consolidated urban segregation scenario, it is noticeable that direct income transfer policies, specifically Bolsa Família program (PBF), require the fulfillment of several conditionalities in order for assisted families to remain receiving the benefit. These requisites are directly connected to an egalitarian urban development, as they depend, basically, on the existence of elementary schools, day care centers and public medical facilities within the area in which beneficiaries inhabit. As these peripheries are, generally, outdated in relation to urban equipment, fulfillment of such conditionalities end up becoming one more difficulty in these individual’s lives, who mostly live in either poverty, or extreme poverty. We have analyzed the situation of 132 families that reside in the area covered by CRAS Cará-Cará, which is responsible for 37 neighborhoods, and covers part of the southern region of the city. In these families, there was 169 school age teenagers, between March 2013 and May 2015, in violation of conditionalities, all for school dropout, or truancy. Therefore, the research shows that the absence of schools and day care centers in these families’ neighborhoods, plus high school vacancies available only in night time, are the main causes of school dropouts, hence the violation of PBF’s conditionalities.
A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo geral, a seguinte questão: Compreender as dificuldades das famílias residentes na área de abrangência do CRAS Cará-Cará no cumprimento das condicionalidades frente a uma cidade segregada. O processo de formação urbana do Município de Ponta Grossa, no que diz respeito a moradia, foi extremamente segregador. Perante este cenário de consolidação de segregação urbana no Município percebemos que as políticas de transferência direta de renda, mais precisamente o Programa Bolsa Família(PBF), “exigem” o cumprimento de uma série de condicionalidades para que as famílias assistidas se mantenham recebendo este benefício, estas condicionalidades estão diretamente ligadas a um desenvolvimento urbano igualitário, pois dependem, basicamente, da existência de escolas, creches e postos de saúde nas localidades em que os beneficiários residem, como estas periferias, de maneira geral, sempre foram/estão defasadas em relação aos equipamentos urbanos, o cumprimento das condicionalidades acaba virando mais uma dificuldade na vida destes indivíduos, que na sua maioria, vivem em situação de pobreza ou extrema pobreza. Analisamos a situação de 132 famílias residentes na área de abrangência do CRAS unidade Cará-Cará, unidade a qual é responsável por 37 vilas, cobrindo parte da região Sul do Município. Estas famílias, na qual existiam 169 adolescentes em idade escolar, se encontravam no período entre março de 2013 a maio de 2015, em descumprimento das condicionalidades, todas por evasão escolar. Constatou-se que a inexistência de escolas e creches nos locais de moradia destas pessoas, aliada a oferta de vagas de Ensino Médio apenas no período noturno, são as principais causas da evasão escolar, consequentemente do descumprimento das condicionalidades do PBF.
Sagan, Hans Nicholas. « Specters of '68| Protest, Policing, and Urban Space ». Thesis, University of California, Berkeley, 2015. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3733389.
Texte intégralPolitical protest is an increasingly frequent occurrence in urban public space. During times of protest, the use of urban space transforms according to special regulatory circumstances and dictates. The reorganization of economic relationships under neoliberalism carries with it changes in the regulation of urban space. Environmental design is part of the toolkit of protest control.
Existing literature on the interrelation of protest, policing, and urban space can be broken down into four general categories: radical politics, criminological, technocratic, and technicalprofessional. Each of these bodies of literature problematizes core ideas of crowds, space, and protest differently. This leads to entirely different philosophical and methodological approaches to protests from different parties and agencies.
This paper approaches protest, policing, and urban space using a critical-theoretical methodology coupled with person-environment relations methods. This paper examines political protest at American Presidential National Conventions. Using genealogical-historical analysis and discourse analysis, this paper examines two historical protest event-sites to develop baselines for comparison: Chicago 1968 and Dallas 1984. Two contemporary protest event-sites are examined using direct observation and discourse analysis: Denver 2008 and St. Paul 2008.
Results show that modes of protest policing are products of dominant socioeconomic models of society, influenced by local policing culture and historical context. Each of the protest event-sites studied represents a crisis in policing and the beginning of a transformation in modes of protest policing. Central to protest policing is the concept of territorial control; means to achieve this control vary by mode of protest policing, which varies according to dominant socioeconomic model. Protesters used a variety of spatial strategies at varying degrees of organization. Both protesters and police developed innovations in spatial practice in order to make their activities more effective.
This has significant consequences for professionalized urban design. Both protester and policing spatial innovation involves the tactical reorganization and occupation of urban space. As urban space plays a constituent role in protest and policing, environmental designers must be aware of the political consequences of their designs.

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are widely acknowledged to be responsible for much of the global warming in the past century. A number of approaches have been proposed to mitigate GHG emissions. Since the burning of fossil-based fuels is an important source of GHGs, the policies on GHG-mitigation encourage the replacement of fossil-based energy with biomass energy. However, a large-scale development of biomass energy may lead to changes in agricultural land use, which are important sources of GHG emissions, and therefore undermine the effectiveness of GHG-mitigation policies. In this research, I analyze the impacts of GHG-mitigation policies on five types of agricultural land (cropland, managed forestry land, pasture land, un-managed forestry land, and un-managed grassland) as well as carbon stored in such land during the 21st century. The scholars in the MIT Joint Program of Science and Policy on Global Change use the Integrated Global Systems Model (IGSM) to simulate changes in climate in response to GHG-mitigation policies, while the researchers at the U. S. Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) apply the Terrestrial Ecosystem Model (TEM) to simulate land productivities. Based on the predictions of land characteristics affecting land-use decisions, I develop an econometric model to predict the land use affected by climate, GHGs, and tropospheric ozone at the grid-cell scale of 0.5 * 0.5 longitude by latitude. I use the Emissions Prediction and Policy Analysis (EPPA) model to capture the regional land use driven by economic forces. Then, I develop the downscaling methods to link these two land-use effects. I conduct this research in two scenarios: in the baseline, I assume that there are no policies to mitigate GHG emissions during the 21st century; in the policy scenario, I assume that there are specific policies to limit GHG emissions during the 21st century.
(cont.) I confirm the hypothesis that biomass-energy production would lead to the conversion of the five types of agricultural land, and the carbon stored in such land would decrease; the GHG-mitigation policies, leading to more production of biomass energy and conversion of agricultural land, would cause an even more severe loss of the carbon stored in agricultural land. Although the GHG-mitigation policies would generally reduce the atmospheric GHG emissions by using more energy from biomass, such endeavors would be partly counteracted by the land-use conversion as a result of large-scale production of biomass energy.
