Bicicleta e direito à cidade: como as políticas públicas em ciclomobilidade afetam o direito à cidade dos cidadãos de Fortaleza

Abstract

Seeks to draw a parallel between the development models of the cities adopted until today and urban mobility, through the analysis of the capitalist mode of production and its forms of land ownership, checking how it was reflected in the concretion of the right of the people that lives in this public space. Aims to also demonstrate how urban mobility is connected with the substantiation of the right to the city, through access to large city with quality and in a way more equitably. Thus, makes a comparison between the cars, public transport and bicycles, confirming the urgent need for investment and prioritization of these last two, through integrated planning between the various urban sectors, such as sanitation, security, culture, education, among others, and demonstrating what is already being done on this subject in the world and in Brazil (in the light mainly of the National Urban Mobility Policy - Law 12.587/2012). Still, by ample literature and dialogue with associations and civil society activists, highlights the investments made by the city of Fortaleza (management Roberto Cláudio - 2013/2016) on urban mobility and, above all, in cyclemobility, seeking to prove that these measures served as instrument of concretion of the right to the city of Fortaleza's citizens, especially thought the expansion of access to large city with the reduction of spaces dedicated to cars and the rebirth of cultural areas, the land appropriation in a more democratic way, the increase of security and rehumanization of public places. Finally, emphasizes the need for more integrated urban policies not only short but also in a medium and long term, in order to create a less segregating and more egalitarian city, being imperative the creation of more spaces for popular participation both in urban planning and in policy making.
