Abstract
This work aims to enrich the discussion on the manner in which models of territorial management and planning are structured in Brazil. It is based on an analysis of the housing policy operated in the state of São Paulo through a state agency in particular, the Companhia de Desenvolvimento Habitacional e Urbano (Housing and Urban Development Company), CDHU, a public company that runs social housing programs throughout the state’s territory, serving low-income families (with income of less than 1,900 dollars a month, approximately).
The daily interactions between the State (CDHU) and some specific private actors involved in the managerial administration policy - engineering, management and consulting companies - are observed in order to illuminate the institutional arrangements they create and that are possibly established as a governance pattern of public policies in São Paulo.
The hypothesis refers to the State's operating dynamics and their influence on the models of planning adopted: the paradigm of the policy, with little pattern changes over the last twenty-five years, is determined from choices and arrangements that happen exactly in the interface between the state and the non-state actor, featuring a complex decision-making dynamics, which responds to interests that are diverse, heterogeneous, but produce concrete results on the planning, conception and implementation of programs and actions.
