A project for Brazilian cities and the place of public health
Keywords:
Urbanization. City planning. Brazil. Residence characteristics.Abstract
The article reconstructs fundamental milestones of Brazilian urbanization, with the objective of arguing for the need of social construction of a project for our cities, capable not only of making progressive theoretical formulations, but also, above all, of converging social forces around an agenda aimed at achieving cities that are more just socio-spatially, environmentally sustainable, economically dynamic and culturally plural. For that, we first deal with the structural aspects of Brazilian urbanization throughout the 20th century and highlight virtuous experiences of local governments in the late 1980s and 1990s. Then, we analyze contradictions engendered in the 2000s and, finally, we list some of the first proposals minimally agreed upon so far.
