reflexões sobre indicadores territoriais de Urbanismo

Abstract

This document presents the preliminary discussions carried out by the working group “WG Urban Planning” of the São Paulo City Court of Auditors’ Public Policies Observatory, focused on selecting indicators that reflect the distribution of public investments in the territory. To this end, based on the 2030 Agenda and related norms, the group researched data and similar initiatives on the platforms of the City Hall, academia and civil notorious society organizations on the subject. This process raised relevant questions, such as the value of the land and the distribution of public spending in the territory; the absence of indicators with historical series in the municipal planning system; the territorial concentration of resources linked to urbanistic instruments – the Consortium Urban Operations (OUC) and the Municipal Urbanization Fund (FUNDURB); the perpetuation of urban and environmental liabilities, such as the deficit in social interest housing (HIS), sanitation and mobility in the periphery; housing pressure on risk and public green areas, including springs. Regarding the aspects related to the TCM’s work, the potential for using the function reports carried out annually on Health, Education, Social Assistance, Transport, Environment, Urban Planning and Housing. Finally, the perspective of using computational models of complex systems in association with universities.
