The Everyday

From upscale restaurants to community gardens, food often reflects shifts in taste that are emblematic of gentrification. The prestige that food retail and urban agriculture can lend to a neighborhood helps to increase property values, fostering the displacement of long-term residents while shifting local culture to create new inclusions and exclusions. And yet, many activists who oppose this dynamic have found food both a powerful symbol and an important tool through which to fight against it at scales ranging from individual consumption to state and national policy. The book argues that food and gentrification are deeply entangled, and that examining food retail and food practices is critical to understanding urban development. A series of case studies, from super-gentrifying cities like New York, to oft-neglected places like Oklahoma City, show that while gentrification always has its own local flavor, there are many commonalities. In the context of displacement, food reflects power struggles between differently situated class and ethnoracial groups. Through the lens of food, we can see that who has a right to the gentrifying city is not just about housing, but also includes the everyday practices of living, working and eating in the places we call home.

O texto trata das mudanças introduzidas na Política Nacional de Gestão do Patrimônio da União no Brasil, relacionando-as aos paradigmas de desenvolvimento urbano, que fundamentaram também a instauração do aparato institucional da política urbana atual. Procura-se discutir o papel do Estado na condução dessas políticas públicas no novo contexto da acumulação urbana das cidades e sua articulação com os interesses de mercado e as demandas da sociedade civil. Argumenta-se que a prioridade conferida à construção de um forte aparato institucional apoiado na primazia do planejamento inclusivo no nível da formulação da política, defronta-se com a interferência de fatores de ordem local no nível da implementação, levando a gestão a ser conduzida efetivamente em consonância com o arranjo de forças que constitui a governança urbana. Palavras-chave: políticas públicas; política urbana; governança; Patrimônio da União. Abstract: This paper analyzes the changes introduced to the Política Nacional de Gestão do Patrimônio da União no Brasil (National Policy of the Union Patrimony Management in Brazil), relating them to the paradigms of urban development, which grounded also the establishment of the institutional apparatus of the present urban policy. The State’s role in conducting such policies in the new context of urban accumulation and its articulation with the market interest and demands of civil society are discussed. It is argued that the priority given to building a strong institutional apparatus supporting the primacy of an including planning at the level of policy formulation, once confronted with the interference of local factors at the implementation level, led the administration to be conducted, in fact, according to the arrangement of the forces that constitute the urban governance. Keywords: public policies; urban policies; governance; Union Patrimony.

Basic Sanitation

The Amazon boasts a great environmental heritage and abundance of water resources, it is in this remarkable biome where the worst rates of access to basic sanitation services and public health indicators are. This research aims to use the SWOT analysis to generate knowledge capable of subsidizing the public manager in the elaboration of strategic planning to implement sanitary sewage according to the National Policy for Basic Sanitation in a municipality of the Brazilian Amazon under development and urban expansion. The practices adopted for this task relate to the concepts of the SWOT matrix, public policies for basic sanitation with a focus on sanitation, urban sprawl and social impacts on human health related to poor sanitation. Identifying in the municipal legal norms the strategic planning to order the development and the urban expansion and the practices foreseen to meet the National Policy for the Basic Sanitation and implantation of the sanitary sewage in the studied municipality. This is a descriptive exploratory research based on document and field research according to legal and environmental norms with qualitative and quantitative results. Despite the result demonstrating that the strategic planning for the implementation of sewage in urban expansion projects results in sustainable urban development, the municipality under study did not meet the legal and environmental standards for the implementation of sewage in new subdivisions causing environmental, social and economic problems.
