3 SÃO PAULO METROPOLIS APRIL 2008

4 The emphasis of the research are in the transformation order spatial, social, economic and functional - that the metropolitan territory is acquiring since the 80 s. It is adopted the concept of metropolitan city to describe the object of analysis. The essence of this concept is intimately related to the transformation of a metropolitan region in to a city region.

5 The main hypothesis is that these transformations area committed with the requirements of the new model in which the metropolitan organization has an active role. So, São Paulo is being analyzed as an agent of the transformation to attend the new stage of economic and productive model, and not a mere reflex of this process.

6 Its structure and functions are organized coherently with the new stage of economic and productive model, and not a mere reflex of this process.

7 Based on these theoretical observations we can assume that São Paulo is now a days a regional center attempting to supply to an emergent market integrating in its territory urban dynamics that alludes to its recent condition of manufacturing metropolis and to its new condition as a metropolis committed with the superior services and its associated manufacture (the services industries) What does it means from the spatial and functional organization point of view? Which urban dynamics that this new condition involves is the research theme.

8 As it happened in earlier cycles of the structuring of SPMR, the present period is producing its own pattern of structuring that allow one to identify its historical determinants. New urban sectors, places, spatial arrangements, architectural programs, forms of using and occupying the land, appropriation of natural resources, forms of illegal occupation are arising and going deeper in its serious characteristics.

9

10 SPMR comprises km2, includes 39 municipalities, with that of São Paulo (1.509 km2) occupying its center. Total population of 18 million inhabitants, shows three outstanding characteristics among others: 95.75% of the population is urban; 10.4 million persons are concentrated in municipality of São Paulo; Only 8 the 39 municipalities are not part of the continuous, uninterrupted geographical territory comprised of the remaining municipalities.

11 It relates intensely with the surrounding region within a radius of 200 km known as the macro-metropolis.

12

13 This complex includes the SPMR (27 million inhabitants), plus the metropolitan regions of the Santos Coastal Region (1.5 million inhabitants) and of Campinas (2.3 million inhabitants), both within 110 kilometers of São Paulo.

14 The present population is of 28 million inhabitants This means 70% of the state's population. Responsible 75% of the state's general product and 26% of the Brazilian GNP.

15 Main features of the current urban transition of the metropolis territory.

16 1. Impact of the reorganization of the area's great mobility and accessibility systems; 2. Organization of the centers related to restructuring of the territory mobility; 3. Role of the growth of networks of consumption, services and equipments 4. Impasse of industrial sectors and industrial logistic installations; 5. Migration of central functions and the constitution of new centralities; 6. Emptying of residential areas of central districts and the growth of inner-city slums; 7. Permanence of urban inadequacy: the continuous expansion of the "informal city.

17 1. Impact of the reorganization of the area's great mobility and accessibility systems

18 The impacts of roads constructed on the river valleys in peripheral zones Avenida Jacú-Pêssego/ Nova Trabalhadores

19 The impact of the infrastructure projects in local and metropolitan scales Rodoanel Mário Covas

20 Growing housing density near urban parts of highways Rodovia Raposo Tavares

21 2. Organization of new centers (nodes) of metropolitan mobility and their impact on the total restructuring of the territory

22

23 Strategic spaces for urban projects of metropolitan impact Pátio do Pari

24 Organization of a functional node for metropolitan transport Jardim da Luz, Estações Luz e Júlio Prestes

25 3. Impasse of industrial sectors and installations

26 Functional transformation of traditional industrial poles Divisa São Caetano/São Paulo

27

28 4. Role of the growth of networks of consumption, services and equipment

29

30 The migration of consumption systems toward areas with inferior infrastructure, services and public equipment, creates a situation which can only be analyzed as a "new logic of consumption" for the location of terciary systems. The installation of shopping malls, supermarkets, hypermarkets and fast-food franchisers in the periphery is a phenomenon that has arisen during the last decade.

31

32

33 5. Migration of central functions to new neighborhoods creating new centralities This dispersion is an alternative for real-estate investments whose preferred locus, until then, had been the downtown area. It clearly corresponded, from the beginning, to a migration of realestate capital within the municipality of São Paulo.

34

35 Promotion of urban sectors through urban instruments urban operations Avenida Faria Lima

36 6. Residential emptying of the central districts and the growth of inner-city slums

37 The depopulation of central neighborhoods Rua no bairro do Pari Santa Efigênia

38 7. Permanence of urban inadequacy: the continuous expansion of the "informal city

39 The intense dispersion of shantytowns in the metropolitan periphery, usually in situations of environmental risk. The occupation of the area of protection of the watersheds that supply water to the SPMG is the most conflictual and revealing expression of this process and a clear indication of the lack of effective urban development policies.

40 Increase of the precarious urban situations in housing projects in the periphery Favelas e conjuntos habitacionais Itaim Paulista

41 Increase of the precarious urban situations in housing projects in the periphery Cidade Tiradentes

42 Increase of the precarious urban situations in housing projects in the periphery Complexo Cidade Tiradentes

43 Combination of environmental Billings inadequacy and high rate of expansion of precarious housing

44 Expansion of dormitory cities Bairro-dormitório: Perus

45 Expansion of dormitory cities Carapicuíba

46 Unequal socioeconomic occupation on contiguous urban sectors Paraisópolis e Morumbi
