title: Minha Casa Minha Vida: peripheralization, segregation and intra-urban mobility in the Florianópolis conurbation

description: Abstract The article investigates the repercussions, on urban mobility, of the process of urban sprawl and peripheralization stimulated by the projects of the housing program Minha Casa Minha Vida in the Florianópolis conurbation (State of Santa Catarina, southern Brazil). The area presents socio-spatial segregation and locomotion disparities between central and peripheral districts. It was found that projects subsidized by the housing program are located mainly in distant sites, which lack infrastructure and public transportation, causing higher costs and diseconomies to the public and private realms. The article shows that housing policies disassociated from studies of intra-urban location and urban mobility have a daily impact on the lives of citizens through transportation expenses, time spent on commuting, and urban peripheralization. Furthermore, this affects the exercise of the right to the city, contributing to widen social inequalities and socio-spatial segregation.

title: Moving to another home in Lisbon: socio-economic profiles of the recent residential mobility

description: Abstract The changes that have been occurring recently in Lisbon are largely related to residential mobility dynamics, their causes and consequences. The choice of the residential area, determined by economic, social, cultural and psychological factors, results in a gradual change of the city’s social structure and the territory’s occupation patterns. This paper, based on the results of a survey carried out in Lisbon between 2016 and 2017, contributes to a deeper understanding of these changes by analysing the territorial and temporal dimensions of mobility and also the socioeconomic profiles of the city’s oldest and newest residents. Given the diversity of residential mobility experiences, multivariate analysis was used to define five profiles with different social characteristics.

title: Life cycle, household structure and migration at the beginning of the 21st century: the case of the São Paulo Metropolitan Region

description: Abstract Internal migration has been changing considerably in recent decades in Brazil. Nowadays, large metropolises are the main areas of articulation of the population’s spatial mobility in the territory, given the volume of individuals that go to them and, at the same time, depart from them. The objective of this article is to analyze characteristics of the internal migrants who went to the São Paulo Metropolitan Region based on data from the 2010 Demographic Census. The results show a strong relationship between life cycle, household structure and socio-demographic attributes of migrants. We believe that the region’s advanced level of urbanization has led to the exacerbation of migratory selectivity in relation to the migrants’ individual attributes and support networks, configuring their residence patterns at their destination.

title: That Far West: paradoxes of (im)mobility in the city of Santa Fe

description: Abstract The uneven and fragmented growth of the western edge of the city of Santa Fe, in Argentina, can be analysed in terms of the mobility and immobility experienced there. A paradox materialized in the design of the belt highway as a space destined to high speeds and, at the same time, as a limit and a barrier to socio-spatial exchange. With the aim of reviewing the epistemological foundations of urban policies (that led to omissions and technocratic resolutions), this paper tries to recover the historicity of the ideation and planning process through different documents and urban plans made to the city, analyzing the ways the west bank was conceived in relation to the Salado river.

title: Brazil-China Connections: the chinese migration in downtown São Paulo

description: Abstract From the economic opening of China in 1979 until these days, a socioeconomic dynamics has been forming, linking wholesale centers between China and Brazil through trade flows and migratory mobilities. These are routes that supply popular markets and involve a constant movement of people, especially between São Paulo and the cities of Guangzhou and Yiwu. This article discusses the establishment of Chinese migrants in the popular trade of downtown São Paulo, through galleries and the "dawn market" located in the neighborhood of Brás and on a street called 25 de março – currently, the country's largest distributor of goods imported directly from China. It is not only a question of locating a migratory process in space, but of how it affects the restructuring of places by promoting the articulation of transnational socioeconomic dynamics.

title: Water scarcity in the Metropolitan Area of Campinas between 2013 and 2015: the perspective of a socially constructed disaster

description: Abstract In Brazil, specifically in the Southeast region, the low rainfall indexes that started in 2013 and were intensified during 2014 and 2015 characterized a prolonged drought, resulting in a water scarcity crisis, a socially constructed disaster. One of the most affected areas was the Metropolitan Area of Campinas. The aim of this work was to present elements in order to discuss the water scarcity that occurred in the Metropolitan Area of Campinas from the perspective of socially constructed disasters. Based on an analysis of semi-structured interviews carried out with actors involved in the management of water resources, it was possible to observe that emergency actions that disregard the social construction of the problem had little effect on conflict resolution.

title: Dialogues between bioethics and global health: analysis of users and uses of urban parks as ethical indicators in the promotion of wellbeing

description: Abstract Although green urban areas provide biopsychosocial benefits, insertions in stigmatized environments can generate vulnerabilities. We aimed to characterize the users and uses of the Passeio Público park in Curitiba through a quantitative survey of visitors’ perceptions and behaviors. The results show that the park is associated with emotional references, yet the identification of risks has made it be replaced by parks that are more modern. Families still visit the park, interacting with its animals, but their satisfaction prevents them from perceiving ethical issues. The conflict between the importance of the environment to the citizen and social as well as animal vulnerabilities calls for the intervention of Environmental Bioethics to mediate the dialogue with Global Health, with the aim of subsidizing the establishment of a consensual and just solution.

title: “Why so far?”. Children’s mobility and urban structure in the Federal District

description: Abstract This study analyzes children’s mobility on school-home-school routes in the Federal District of Brazil. Based on a study of children who attend two public educational intuitions located in the Pilot Plan of Brasília (a day-care center and an elementary school), it was possible to profile their circulation patterns. After presenting the Brasília planners’ initial conception for children’s mobility, the study analyzes the data generated by the survey. Results show that only 4% of the children go to school on foot and 57% travel more than 20 km a day in their home-school-home routes. That is, the urban structure of the city and the limited supply of public education led to the failure of the utopian plans for Brasília.

title: The capitalist world-system and new geopolitical alignments in the 21st century: a prospective view

description: Abstract In this article, we point out the main characteristics of the contemporary world scenario, its cyclical and secular tendencies, the dominant power configurations, the anti-systemic forces, the new geopolitical alignments they give rise to, and the bifurcation of power that is drawn for the next years. Since 1994, we have been experiencing Kondratiev’s phase of expansion, which is linked to two long-term descending movements: phase B of the United States’ systemic cycle, marked by the crisis of this hegemony, initiated in 1970, and the civilizational crisis of the capitalist mode of production, with the emergence of the scientific-technical revolution. Such combination brings very specific characteristics to the long cycle of expansion that we have been experiencing.

title: Invisible production spaces in metropolitan areas: uncovering micro-urban manufacturing in the case of São Paulo, Brazil

description: Abstract Manufacturing in metropolitan areas has been drastically transformed. This case study of São Paulo, Brazil contributes new insights to debates about urban economies by shedding light on micro-urban manufacturing – an activity that, despite its pervasiveness, is usually left out of planning theory and discourses. First, I broadly frame this debate by retracing the relationship between economic activity and urban development in the historical making of São Paulo. Second, I analyze micro-manufacturing as a segment within the broader context of manufacturing, highlighting its relevance, ubiquity, and resilience. Next, I examine micro-manufacturing activities by themselves and point out at their heterogeneity. Finally, I describe the emergence of two unique geographies of micro-urban manufacturing in the city.

title: Citizenship, social participation and political mobilization

description: Abstract First, I will discuss the notions of citizenship and civil society in order to show their historical evolution in relation to each other. Second, I will show the way in which a new type of social contract – the so-called Welfare State – will emerge in the demo-liberal countries after the 1929 crisis and the 2nd World War. Then, I will identify the notion of social capital as a privileged vehicle of the social processes of inclusion versus exclusion. Finally, I will present the results of an international survey that allows to identify comparative characteristics present in modern processes of association, mobilization, and socio--cultural change.

title: Collaborative governance and urban regimes: unexpected convergences in hard times

description: Abstract The purpose of this article is to establish a theoretical-methodological line that, at the same time, separates and connects the elements that constitute the so-called urban systems theory and the concept of collaborative governance. We assume that the contemporary transformations experienced by cities (fierce competition for private investments, emphasis on strategic planning, commercialization of public spaces, among others) can be better understood through the analysis of decision-making processes concerning urban policies, with a more intense presence of urban businesses in public policies. This task requires opening a debate with the academic community to overcome the "nationalization" problems of conceptual models. Therefore, we present brief considerations on urban regimes and collaborative governance, as well as theoretical implications involving democracy and the market.

title: Public-private partnership for social housing: institutional principles for the expansion of the housing market in São Paulo

description: Abstract The article deals with the dynamics of the articulations between State and market in the housing sector, in view of the rise of neoliberalism and the diffusion of a public policy agenda grounded on the hegemony of the "new institutional economy". Based on a case study about a public-private partnership project for the provision of social housing promoted by Agência Casa Paulista, we present a reflection on the changes and continuities that the current housing policy model of the State of São Paulo represents in relation to the previous model, carried out by Companhia Paulista de Desenvolvimento Habitacional e Urbano (CDHU). The collected data revealed that the primacy in the housing policy formulation and financing activities tends to have been shifted to the private sector.
