A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
São Paulo is no longer a fast growing metropolitan region, but with its huge population the city is affected by a series of problems linked to social inequality, lack of adequate public policies and omission of public authorities to cope with the basic issues linked to the existence of a certain degree of urban sustainability.
The metropolitan region is undergoing severe changes at the demographic and employment level. The housing deficit is an enormous challenge that is not being overcome, thus representing a very serious burden. As to air quality, the initiatives are still very limited, and the car shift that exists in the city of São Paulo is mainly directed to reduce traffic, and not as a policy of public health.
The most challenging issue is the articulation of policies between levels of government that enable the building of a metropolitan program for urban sustainability thus representing the possibility of increased cooperation to overcome the degradation of the region's environment associated to the socioeconomic problems that affect its development and the living conditions of a large part of the population.
