Cidades sustentáveis: descrição de implementação de políticas públicas de urbanização sustentável nas cidades de São Paulo e Santiago

Abstract

Today, more than half of the world's population lives in cities, making urban settlements the leading economic hubs and drivers of change on a global scale. Thus, since the 1970s, cities have become major actors for a developmental and sustainable agenda in international negotiations while the international community understood that it would be impossible to achieve global development if cities were not actively participating in this process. Therefore, this paper aims to describe the implementation of public policies aligned with the SDG 11, focused on sustainable urbanization, in the cities of São Paulo and Santiago, two of the most important cities in Latin America and the most important of their respective countries. In this sense, the alignment of their urbanization policies with the 2030 Agenda would demonstrate not only a commitment of cities to a global agenda, but also the adoption of a new, more sustainable and inclusive forms of urbanization, as well as the main actors responsible for it. Implementation is reflected in different structural and bureaucratic models analyzed in São Paulo and Santiago.
