| dc.description.abstract | Urban Operations (UO) are defined in the City Statute (complementary law to the Brazilian Constitution) as instruments coordinated by municipal governments which aim at implementing urban redevelopment projects "[...] with the participation of owners, residents, permanent users and private investors in order to achieve structural urban transformations, social improvements and environmental enhancement in a given area [...]" (BRAZIL, 2001). Despite the apparent interest in improving the urban well-being, some authors consider that the use of UOs in Sao Paulo is strongly associated with the global "financialization" of the economy and the consolidation of the so-called corporate cities, which become easy prey to real estate speculation related to mega-projects. Together, these two contemporary aspects constitute important factors in generating a struggle over resources that oppose – as usual - the urban poor to the construction industry and related investors: residents of slums targeted by these projects fight for a more equitable distribution of urban well-being while capital focuses investments in other thematic/geographical areas. | |
