In order to do so, it first discusses the nature and content of the so-called "Urban Intervention Projects", provided for in Municipal Law n. 16,402/2014, the Strategic Master Plan of São Paulo (Plano Diretor Estratégico), delimiting its purposes and possibilities of action. Afterwards, it critically analyzes the provisions of the aforementioned bill, weaving considerations pertinent to the novelties in terms of the proposal of urban regulation itself established. The result of the work is the finding of an innovative and differentiated approach to the legal instrumentation envisaged in the draft law, since it is designed in order to specifically meet the terms of an urban project derived from the master plan, while at the same time providing the implementation of the urban development policy envisaged.Keywords: Urban Law.

ResumoO Plano Diretor Participativo é o principal instrumento de política urbana nos municípios brasileiros, razão pela qual deve contar com a participação social como orientadora para a arquitetura das respectivas políticas públicas voltadas para o desenvolvimento urbano. Os processos participativos devem permitir que todos os atores contribuam para a definição da pauta de prioridades e que as contribuições se tornem insumos para o planejamento. Na mesma senda, os Planos Diretores Participativos devem articular a influência docidadão na construção das cidades. Embora audiências públicas tenham sido realizadas, a análise de dados secundários inerentes à revisão do Plano Diretor Estratégico (PDE) do município de São Paulo nos anos de 2013 e 2014, revelou que esse processo foi composto de sucessivas esferas de consulta, meramente informativas. Através da utilização da metodologia da “Escada de Participação Popular”, proposta por Sherry Arnstein, verificou-se que a elaboração do PDE pode ser considerada “pseudoparticipativa”, evidenciando que o procedimento de ausculta social se deu muito mais para legitimar as decisões políticas acerca do PDE do que efetivamente para garantir a participação democrática no planejamento urbano. Apesar dos avanços, o processo ainda está aquém do almejado para uma participação plural e determinante na tomada de decisões em comunidades.Palavras-chave: Participação Social. Audiências Públicas.

Município de São Paulo. AbstractThe Participatory Master Plan is the main instrument of urban policy in Brazilian municipalities, which is why it must count on social participation as a guide for the architecture of the respective public policies aimed at urban development. Participatory processes must allow all actors to contribute to the definition of the agenda of priorities and that contributions become inputs for planning. In the same vein, the Participative Master Plans must articulate the citizen's influence in the construction of cities. Although public hearings were held, the analysis of secondary data inherent to the review of the Strategic Master Plan (PDE) of the municipality of São Paulo in the years 2013 and 2014, revealed that this process was composed of successive spheres of consultation, merely informative. Through the use of the “Ladder of Popular Participation” methodology, proposed by Sherry Arnstein, it was verified that the elaboration of the PDE can be considered “pseudoparticipativa”, showing that the social auscultation procedure took place much more to legitimize the political decisions about the PDE than effectively to guarantee democratic participation in urban planning. Despite the advances, the process still lags behind the goal of plural and decisive participation in decision-making in communities.Keywords: Social Participation. Public Hearings. Urban planning.

The University

The University of São Paulo is a public University and the largest in Brazil. It is broadly organized into distinct campuses that are installed in different cities of the state of São Paulo, each one with its specific aspects. There are more than 95 thousand undergraduate and graduate regularly enrolled students, standing out as one of the best universities in Brazil and Latin America [2]. The performance of the University of São Paulo at the “UI GreenMetric World University Ranking” has improved considerably in 2017 (28th position) on the general ranking. The sustainability management process for USP is carried out considering the strengths each campus presents, but the USP governance process ensures standards and good practices are applied similarly to all areas under the university responsibility. As for example, the recent approval of the USP Environmental Policy, which process engaged the whole USP community, working together to understand the complex context of all campuses, what resulted at the end in very innovative arrangements for researching, teaching and practice for sustainability. Different of the past rankings, data provided for GreenMetric 2017 Ranking contemplated USP as a whole, because it is not possible to assess the university environmental sustainability performance in parts. This approach allowed showing the different enhanced efforts of the University as a whole. In addition, the USP’s environmental policy-making process brought about more integration between the campuses and effective actions were put into practice, helping to consolidate USP as a sustainable university. The highlight in the score was "Setting and Infrastructure": there are 76.4km2 of total area and only 2.6% from them are built-up. The University has been prioritizing the protection of green areas and biodiversity, in São Paulo city campus, totally surrounded by urban environment, but also in the other campuses in the countryside, some of them located in rural environment. This shows that USP’s campuses are environmentally responsible, providing students and staff with enjoyable, healthy and in close touch with nature places. On the topic “Transportation”, the University of São Paulo stands out also. Incentives to improve choice for public transportation and biking within the university community are among the constant concern of the University of São Paulo, which will be keeping up efforts for that.

This article is the result of a partnership between the research group Urban Issues: Design, Architecture, Planning and Landscape - Q.URB, and the Group of Studies of the Urban Form in Brazil - FU.bá, both of the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism of Mackenzie Presbiterian University. It aims to contribute to urban design alternatives in the Jardim Piratininga neighborhood, located in the East Zone of the Municipality of São Paulo, and to offer subsidies for future Urban Intervention Projects (PIU), since this area was defined, by the 2012 Strategic Master Plan, as Special Zone of Social Interest - ZEIS. It is hypothesized that the study area, considered as an emerging urban fabric stratum and lacking in a large part of its area of ​​basic urbanization infrastructures, holds in itself the potential for a future re-adaptation and complementation of its roadway. The methodology that will be used in the analytical approach of the urban form, known as Space Syntax, seeks to provide: support for decision making; tools to calibrate these decisions; evaluate proposed scenarios; as well as combining other methods and tools. This methodology seeks to confirm something we already know - the need to complete ‘mesh design’ in urbanized areas that have, in contemporary cities, a different constitution from that observed in more sedimented and stable areas (traditional city). As a result, possibilities of transformation of the roadway will be presented according to diverse scenarios, but based on the dynamics of the place itself, and also with the surrounding urban fabric.

Background: In light of the few reports from intertropical latitudes and their conflicting results, we aimed to replicate and update the investigation of seasonal patterns of suicide occurrences in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. Methods: Data relating to male and female suicides were extracted from the Mortality Information Enhancement Program (PRO-AIM), the official health statistics of the municipality of São Paulo. Seasonality was assessed by studying distribution of suicides over time using cosinor analyses. Results: There were 6,916 registered suicides (76.7% men), with an average of 39.0 ± 7.0 observed suicides per month. For the total sample and for both sexes, cosinor analysis estimated a significant seasonal pattern. For the total sample and for males suicide peaked in November (late spring) with a trough in May–June (late autumn). For females, the estimated peak occurred in January, and the trough in June–July. Conclusions: A seasonal pattern of suicides was found for both males and females, peaking in spring/summer and dipping in fall/winter. The scarcity of reports from intertropical latitudes warrants promoting more studies in this area.
