O Planejamento urbano e as políticas de austeridade: novos desafios, propostas envoltas à conjuntura europeia e o modelo etíope

Abstract

Urban Planning is analyzed into a historical perspective, highlighting the model of development that has gained adherents in the early XXI century and in which were introduced new elements such as territorial capital and territorial competitiveness. This document discusses this model of development regarding the Brazilian legal system, which gives special emphasis to Municipalities. In sequence, the links of this model of development and austerity policies brought by the ordinary systemic crises that affect mainly the economy, preventing some projects that would bring improvements to those involved, are discussed. The Municipal Administration, in this situation, faces a limited sphere of action by national policies and by the lack of resources, breaking the social harmony and the social stability, and also has impacts on Politics. This situation develops a kind of insurgent urban planning that clashes with austerity policies. At the end and with a practical approach, a development project is presented to the city of Addis Ababa, capital of Ethiopia, which involves the minimization of the problems of immigration and unemployment with specific programs for different areas of the city, center and periphery. This project is a great opportunity for cities like Fortaleza, that has similar challenges of the Ethiopian capital and a large availability of labor.
