An opportunity for power is here thinking.
high
together with you first of all I
I wanted to thank Paulo Saldiva us
combined everything then it will engage in speech
we pretend not to
Engage in his speech and you will
understand why and make a small
in my presentation and say that
my last the last book that I launched
that the war of the places of the publisher
it is very much the basis of what
I’ll talk right now here to you for me.
It’s what’s most exciting in my life.
heart and in that moment is paulo
He finished his speech, Professor Paulo
He finished talking about that
that is in tune with life and that
that causes people to live and between
several elements that he put in the
affections to emotional relationships
he spoke of the importance of existence
of a pleasant life
in the city space pleasant environment
in the space of the city as an element
fundamental in order to reproduce life
and be able to reproduce this life with
quality and is exactly why and
taking that hook from him that I want
why understand the city as a
product on a supermarket shelf
the sale goes against the idea of the city
place of life and reproduction of the
life and the development of life and
life is and I’m going to try a lot
quickly
to this and this is a debate absolutely
center is today in this city and not only
here in Sao Paulo but it’s a debate
central part of our country is to the extent
and we are living in a moment where the
that everything seems to be the logic of
destination of the places of the city or
each place as it will be occupied each
place
It is how it will be experienced by the people
is increasingly subordinated to a
the profitability of capital
invested in that place that
means that means subordinate all
the wide possibility of uses and forms
City ownership and inclusive
especially those that do not generate a
profit that does not remunerate the capital that
generate interest for that investor all
these forms that are forms
absolutely necessary for the
reproduction of city life in
individual and collective processes
they are deprecated in relation to that
form of occupation of the space capable of
generate the highest profitability the highest interest
for investment that arrived there this
has already been the organizational logic of
city within private spaces
of private lots of private property
we live it in our daily life is
long in this sense what is the
new in the sense that the market
real estate is taking over
the dis is generating location I am
speaking of private lots of piece
of the city and that as the
cities that we are doing
investments in the city those
locations are valuing and tailor-made
that those locations are valuing
in the market you have a market that rules
the constitution of the private space of the
city he goes this market capturing
certain spaces for uses which
they can pay more for example the use
trade can pay more than
residential in general because it uses
location to then render the
people see whole neighborhoods that were
residences in commerce begins to
penetrate and gain space and goes
expulsion of residential use or use of
more vertical in relation to the use
of houses and houses except I am not
saying that it is only fair that this is
right
I’m just saying that the presence of this
logic within the private market and
baniyas in urban planning a
of the missions is to introduce
elements to counter this logic
which the simple market will allocate
always the lots for those who can afford
more and therefore who can afford it
outside, then urban planning has
instruments should at least have
instruments to try to balance
ensuring that even the least
less able to pay
that profitability on the private side
such as popular housing
social housing is for those who can not
to pay could still exist in the
city and occupy spaces relatively
organized and equipped and not how it is
historical matrix of ours
housing policy that housing
popular is always played
not a city away from the city away from
opportunities by then submitting
people we talking about here goes
rights is not only four walls
a ceiling that is a portal from the
Which one do you go to or leave?
close the city then it is not indifferent
Where is she if she’s in the woods?
where Judas lost his boots or if she
is in a central place with the
opportunities by hand or close to a
park or near a leisure area
then it ends up being submitted simply
the logic of the market ends up being always
excluded from the best locations I
I said all this to say that it is not
that’s what I want to talk about, I want
talk about something much more
perverse that this is enough
perverse like I just said because
it excludes a part of the population from its
possibility of human development
personnel to the extent that it can
access to cities which is an artifact
incredible collective work that is capable of
to feed people’s souls with
opportunities for economic and social
educational
I’m talking about public spaces.
at this moment what is at stake here
This logic was already common in
private spaces is exported to the
public space that in the background
was perhaps the only opportunity within
this logic that you can use a
part of the territory for uses not
are stable since the entire private area is
be structured by the logic of uses
profitable public land space
public is the great fillon of the
possibility of offering spaces
equipment places for life
indistinctly from income distinctly
of the genus indistinctly
sexual and or color management
then these public places
today what is put into politics
public and I will speak ah ah the term in
English
the logic of public space also passes
to be the logic of profitability or
what is the public land used for?
sold for the highest value
this to the public land of the land
public for what equipment is used
the public to offer it
investment opportunities and
profitability for financial capital
financial capitals
cumulated surpluses in the
planet that are permanently in
search for these opportunities
investment for that power is there
still working powers brings interest to
continue as a black cloud with the
global surplus capital circulating
on the planet in search of new
opportunities to extract income for
extract profit for né interest for
constitute an overall surplus capital
I could finish all the time of my life.
speaks for what we are
talking about a financial circuit whose
single goal is to increase and grow each
again that it has no commitment
with the possibility of offering better
improved access to rights for
people
the elimination of the opportunities of
people and submit the public space to
logic and the needs of this capital
that is to offer in a band
Take what you prefer
this park do you prefer the building of
town hall
Do you prefer that place to that center?
go to explore means
simply eliminates the possibility that
I think it’s a possibility that has to
be defended permanently in the city
that a significant part of the space
Urban has to serve only present if
live and use and do not have to render
absolutely nothing has to accommodate the
our desires to be our desires
to live our desires of power in the

celebrate as a place to be I can not
finish my speech someone said that you have
a computer means how many minutes
but I can not see it, and I can not
finish my speech without relating it
there is a movement there are two very movements
recent events in the city
of sao paulo I think
very important and go against
all that I have spoken until now we
observed in the city mainly
from the 90’s the movement of the city
output and abandonment of people in
relation to public spaces on the
squares
the stark if a little has a context
which it will not be able to develop
why did not this happen the street or
seen as an unsafe place like
a place not taken care of and had to do with
in the 1990s where the country lived
a very similar fiscal adjustment than
is now living the difficulty
maintenance of these spaces
the increase of crime and right
insecurity has to do with all this
movement so that a city as
São Paulo and many others
we stopped letting go of the
to have shopping centers
not having residential neighborhoods
to practice closed condominiums ,
ter is a type of equipment directly
related to street the theaters of street the
gaps for everything to set up
with what we call enclaves
fortified walled enclaves and
there was exploding this type of
use
I want to draw your attention to you
how this movement began to suffer
counter movement
this was neither a result of policy
public opinion was not the result of
of the citizens of the residents
of the city that began in June
first putting the bar tables
tabletop bar on the sidewalk and beginning
staying on the sidewalk and then
appropriating and beginning to attend
Chi to accept and then falling in love
through the squares and parks and
take care of them with love and with living there
discovering what
living with the heterogeneous and then
appropriating the public spaces of the
cities and then realized that they
of the cars there realized that they
were only on the consumption circuit and
started to stress with this
movement in the sense of capturing and
to seize these places from the
cars stealing from the circulation time and
of consumption and establishing another
of existence and coexistence in these
public spaces ‘extermination’ of my
Speak to say it’s a contradiction.
between this movement of
living in the search for coexistence in the
search for a city that is not just
the city of consumer work to the
circulation but is the city of pleasure is the
city of cultural production of the invention
the creation of coexistence and a policy
which only admits the idea of the
space if it is profitable or if they
to transform somehow into an object
consumption
So it seems to me that we are in a
very important crossroads where it is
absolutely necessary now to realize
this movement that we locals have made
no wind was not a policy
public that decreed we did we did
so that this movement of ours is not
tattooed by a logic where what
we have built as a space for
cohabitation is placed in a
shelf for sale on a raised tray

thank you
