Title: Urbanismo e segurança pública
Description: An updated vision of social urbanism, exposing challenges and vulnerabilities, doubts and certainties that permeate actions to combat urban violence, an inescapable topic for the construction of better and fairer societies in Brazil and Latin America. In November 2018, Arq.Futuro - together with Escola da Cidade, Inciti  UFPE and the Ministry of Public Security - held in São Paulo the seminar Urbanism and Public Security. The focus of the meeting was three outstanding cases in promoting peace through the qualification of public spaces and services: the new social pact in Medellín (Colomia); the experience of the UPP Social, linked to the Pacifying Police Units, in Rio de Janeiro; and the Community Peace Centers (Compaz) in Recife.
