L’attuazione del Piano urbanistico strategico 2014 della città di San Paolo: avanzamenti e battute d’arresto

Spatial planning of Global South cities presents enormous challenges. Due to the historical process of development of the countries in which they are located, these cities are characterized by immense socio-spatial disparities between the richest areas, endowed with infrastructure and employment, and vast areas of precarious settlements, with deficits in jobs, infrastructure and public facilities for the poorest strata. It is precisely in this context that the city of São Paulo has been implementing the Strategic Master Plan 2014 (PDE 2014), with the stated objectives of reducing these disparities and promoting the right to the city. The objective of this work is to evaluate the implementation of this plan after seven years, checking if the results met these objectives. In order to do so, firstly, a small contextualization of the city of São Paulo and its planning process will be carried out, after that, the context of the PDE 2014 implementation will be assessed and then the evaluation of its results will be carried out, identifying advances and setbacks, relating to the different municipal administrations involved in this process.
