Rethinking the fight for urban reform in Brazil (and Latin America)
No full textProceedings of the IV World Planning Schools Congress, July 3-8th, 2016 : Global crisis, planning and challenges to spatial justice in the north and in the southAt the time the new Brazilian constitution was being enacted (1987), after the end of the military dictatorship, social movements came together to form the National Forum for Urban Reform (FNRU), with the purpose of providing a common platform for their fragmentary claims, including public participation in land use decisions and planning policies as well as a newly defined right to the city. This Constitution was vague when addressing the enforcement of the social function of property, and enforcement was postponed until a specific law was passed to regulate it: the City Statute (Federal Law n.10.257/2002), which was enacted 13 years after the 1988 Constitution. In turn, the City Statute displaced the enforcement of its mechanisms onto master plans, in compliance with the Constitution. Most of the master plans drafted after 2001 resulted in vague and general texts that deferred the enforcement of the City Statute’s mechanisms to municipal laws.publishedVersio
Rule by bookkeeping: the oiled circuitries of Luanda’s New Centralities
No full textProceedings of the IV World Planning Schools Congress, July 3-8th, 2016 : Global crisis, planning and challenges to spatial justice in the north and in the southOn July 11, 2011 José Eduardo dos Santos, the President of Angola, led the opening celebrations for Cidade do Kilamba. The head of state was in charge of cutting the ribbon and unveiling the inaugural plaque for the largest of Luanda’s “new centralities.” But it was the then CEO of Sonangol, Manuel Vicente, who first spoke to the TV cameras. The National Oil Company had been officially in charge of managing the construction of the new centralities since September 2010 and its highest-ranking official took it to himself to brake down the numbers. “With today’s ceremony we are formalizing the first delivery,” he explained. “10 kilometers of roads, 115 buildings with a total of 3,180 apartments and 48 stores.” The remainder of phase one would be finalized in the following 15 months and it would amount to a total of 710 apartment buildings and 20,002 houses. By the end of the three construction phases, the initial plans foresaw, 70 to 80 thousand housing units would have been built and about 500 thousand people would be living there — a place that dos Santos then said to match “the modern way of thinking cities.”publishedVersio
An exploration of the social justice framework to development appropriate land use planning tools/mechanisms for a post-apartheid redistributive context
No full textProceedings of the IV World Planning Schools Congress, July 3-8th, 2016 : Global crisis, planning and challenges to spatial justice in the north and in the southThis paper broadly responds to the apparent lack of planning efficacy in South Africa in addressing the apartheid spatial legacy. In particular the paper focuses on land use management mechanisms and their failure to address the apparent disjuncture between the prescribed normative redistributive principles to guide planning and the actual developments on the ground, that have largely exacerbated the spatial inequalities in South African cities (Berrisford, 2011:255).
Now twenty-one years post-apartheid the growing inequality in South Africa, is keenly reflected in the persistent apartheid spatial legacy illuminated by the ongoing social imbalances situated in the spatial patterns of our cities. Evidence over the past fifteen years suggests that despite the normative principles, and strategic spatial frameworks for guidance, planners and policy makers have not been clear on how to respond to planning development applications at the local level, in order to adhere to the principles.publishedVersio
The transactional places of territorial planning process: dynamic of places projects in the inter-Scot of the Lyon metropolitan area
No full textProceedings of the IV World Planning Schools Congress, July 3-8th, 2016 : Global crisis, planning and challenges to spatial justice in the north and in the southAs part of the IV World Planning School Congress, the paper suggests to present the main research results coming from my thesis defended recently in January 2015. It was supervised by Martin Vanier, lecturer in Grenoble Alpine Geography Institute. The thesis deals with the challenges of territorial planning in France analyse in a European context. My first case of study is the construction of the territorial planning process on Lyon metropolitan area. I use also different others case of study in France and Europe.
In France, the solidarity and urban renewal act (2000) leads to an increase of territorial planning (or strategic spatial planning) in a European context of planning activity boosting after a substitution period of plan to benefit localised projects. In French context, this dynamic of territorial planning translate into a multiplication of the Scot1 since the beginning of the 2000’s. Nevertheless, territorial planning exercises cope with increasing uncertainty about their capacity to manage territorial development.publishedVersio

Waterfront for All : Summary of the EUSS 2015
No full textCity on water : 6th AESOP European Urban Summer School 2015, BremenBremen – as a perfect example of the post- industrial city – can be regarded as a laboratory for an urban transformation. Once playing extremely important role in the maritime transportation network, today can be seen as a place looking for the new concepts for its previously vibrant waterfront areas. With no doubts, these places represent a huge development potential. But at the same time the areas in question are becoming a great problem for the city – as their development capacity (measured – in the simplest way – by the amount of square kilometers awaiting redevelopment) is way too big for the needs and opportunities of the “traditional” model of the urban waterfront renewal. In fact, one project of this kind is more than enough for the needs of the local market – the “Übersee-Stadt”, once completed, will become an excellent extension of the existing city center, representing the example of well-established tradition of high-profile redevelopment waterfront site

The conceptions of urban entrepreneurship: an analysis between Barcelona and Rio de Janeiro
No full textProceedings of the IV World Planning Schools Congress, July 3-8th, 2016 : Global crisis, planning and challenges to spatial justice in the north and in the southThis article, which was produced from the master's thesis in 2013, is an understanding of the "model" that local administrative authorities have been developing since the 1980s in various cities across the planet - the Urban Entrepreneurship. With analysis of their design, their strategies and problems arising from its implementation, can present some criticism of this way of managing a city.
Since the Brazilian Constitution of 1988, when the municipalities become autonomous federated entities, various strategies and governance arrangements are being implemented in them. We are talking about participatory budgeting, the "Entrepreneurship Government", the Solidary Local Governance and Urban Entrepreneurship, among others, to improve government activity, solve problems and promote development in cities.
This work, exploratory, aimed to understand one of these "modalities" of public management and its application in Brazil, namely: the Urban Entrepreneurship, which has been adopted not only in Brazilian cities, but in several cities worldwide.
In this regard was held literature on the subject, which allowed the identification of concepts, strategies, practices and criticisms of this type of management.
In the first part, we expose the theoretical explanations of what the Urban Entrepreneurship and the context of its emergence; the second meaning of the term Urban Entrepreneurship (with their descriptive synonyms) and strategies; the third part of the article there is the practice of public management mode in two cities: Barcelona and Rio de JaneiropublishedVersio
Habermas as an agonist? Communicative action and the ideals of agonist planning theory
No full textProceedings of the IV World Planning Schools Congress, July 3-8th, 2016 : Global crisis, planning and challenges to spatial justice in the north and in the southCommunicative planning theories have been criticized already for years for their adherence to Habermasian ideal of ‘rationally motivated consensus’, and ideal that does not seem to meet the power-laden and irrational reality of planning, and also an ideal that does not seem to do justice to the irreducible pluralism in contemporary societies (see e.g. Hillier 2002; 2003; Ploger 2004; Purcell 2009). Agonist planning theory, in particular, has followed political theorists such as Chantal Mouffe, who has argued that the idea of consensus does not do justice to the space of ‘the political’, the space that is characterized by a condition of ‘agony’. ‘Agony’, for Mouffe, does not refer to antagonism - a condition of struggle between enemies - but to a condition of struggle between adversaries (Mouffe 2013: 7). The target of Mouffe’s criticism is the liberalist political philosophy in general, but she makes also explicit references to Habermas’s ideas of consensus (Mouffe 2013).
Theorists of agonist planning have directed their attention especially to the ways in which planning could be more sensitive to difference and particular identities of people and groups, identities that are neglected in liberal political tradition and often suppressed in modern, neo-liberalizing societies (Purcell 2008; 2009; Hillier 2003). In the search and expression of identities, Habermasian transparent and understanding-oriented uses of language seem to fall short, whereas the ‘ruptures’ in language seem to open promising potentials for identity-searching and expression of suppressed needs (ibid.).publishedVersio
