Cidade e políticas locais compensatórias
Deficiency in traditional social policies and public investments has consolidated the increasing poverty of Latin American populations, bringing to the debate the universal or selective contexts of urban social policies. If on one hand, general social security systems are in crises all over the world, on the other hand, social assistance programs aimed at the poor are nothing new. What is new is the connection of strategies targeting meta-groups as a political expression of urban management. It is up to the cities, as stages of social struggle, to build a level of socio-cultural integration and the growth of basic quality indicators and income distribution in Latin America. Their contemporary growth and expansion modelis on a different level in comparison to European capital cities which, with their contemporary urban reforms, develop a concept of city as a strategic asset, promoting localized urban interventions that support ways of income concentration in more sophisticated consumption levels or post-industrial services. This paper discusses Curitiba as a paradigmatic example in Brazil, a city that assimilates urban simulations from other cities of the world, without being a city of the world itself.
