ANALYSIS ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE URBAN CONSORTIUM OPERATION AND ONEROUS GRANT OF THE RIGHT TO BUILD FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTRAMUNICIPAL PERIPHERIES

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to understand to what extent the peripheral condition of certain urban areas circumscribed to large cities may jeopardize the ability of some of the urban policy instruments to generate the effects expected of them in those areas. Through a bibliographical research and secondary data collection, the instruments of the urban consortium operation and the onerous granting of the right to build were analyzed, observing the experiences with both instruments in the municipalities of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. Considering the matrix of social production of space and an institutionalist economic approach, the analysis revealed that these instruments face structural socioeconomic constraints in urban space, which can compromise their viability as relevant alternatives for inducing urban development in large urban peripheral regions. Also, some common challenges remain for the effectiveness of these instruments, such as an increased social control, the need for institutional redesign aimed at expanding redistributive capacities, and a greater projection of urban peripheries as a category of institutional analysis.
