Urban mobility is one of the main topics when it comes to urban planning, in Brazil, it is one of the most troubling subjects since the country had a demographic boom in the 60s and 70s leading to unplanned cities that were not capable of properly preparing for its population increase. In order to evaluate what Brazil’s cities are lacking, Manaus and São Paulo were compared to leading cities in urban mobility like Hong Kong and Prague reviewing the main indicators which leads to those cities being ranked higher than Brazilian cities. Being the cycle lanes one of the biggest disparities between cities like Prague and Manaus, the urban mobility plans of the Brazilian cities were evaluated to present their guidelines and their plans to unite with the global trend in urban mobility.

Both Paris and São Paulo are cities which feature notably distinct occupation histories. As of secondary data and by means of a bibliographical review that sought to collate standpoints of authors engaged in the fields of urban planning and mobility - in addition to urban mobility systems ideation and development historians and scholars – the historical report wherein mobile impairments evolved at each of the mentioned large urban centres, was summarized into a case study, encompassing from emergence to the 20th. Century - a period both cities experienced pivotal transformations - although these took place in substantially diverse manners. To this effect, reasoning was also gathered so as to, in overview, characterize the challenges that urban mobility, for thousands of years, continues to bring about to cohabitation within restricted space, at large cities. Much conversely to being a recent matter of issue, it is a challenge that remains and changes, although some of its core elements have been found to be breathtakingly perseverant throughout history. Conclusion resides in comments relative to a selection of contemporary alternatives that are currently in use at both cities so as to better direct the addressing of the urban mobility issue and also includes a set of alternatives deemed best successful than that known as solutions to this problem which strong holds its very presence at all major cities of the globe.

Resumo Este trabalho tem por iniciativa entender e ampliar o debate acerca da necessidade do Planejamento Urbano e do desenvolvimento coerente dos centros urbanos, por meio da análise da ferramenta dos Planos Diretores Municipais de duas cidades do interior do Estado de São Paulo escolhidas a partir de características que as aproximam dentro de quatro categorias de análise (Mobilidade Urbana, ZEIS, Mecanismos de Preservação Ambiental e Mecanismos de Controle Social) considerando o contexto em que estas cidades estão inseridas e as suas características que as tornam únicas frente a qualquer outro município do Brasil, a fim de entender e mostrar que os Planos Diretores podem promover soluções, a curto, médio e longo prazo, para findar ou ao menos amenizar os problemas recorrentes da ocupação desordenada nas cidades, de modo geral. Abstract This paper has the initiative to understand and extend the debate about the necessity of Urban Planning and coherent development of urban centers, by the analysis tool of the Municipal Master Plans of two cities in the state of São Paulo chosen from characteristics that approach within four categories of analysis (Urban Mobility, ZEIS, Mechanisms of Environmental Conservation and Mechanisms of Social Control) considering the context in which these cities are located and their characteristics that make them unique compared to any other city in Brazil, in order to understand and show that the Master Plans can promote solutions in the short, medium and long term for ending or at least mitigating the recurring problems of disorderly occupation in cities in general.

The urban population increase in the world, the economic expansion, and the rise in living standards associated with society’s habits and lifestyles accelerated the municipal solid waste (MSW) generation in undeveloped countries, such as in Brazil, in which the generation increased by 25% from 2012 to 2017. In the same period, the São Paulo state, the richest Brazilian state, increased its municipal solid waste generation by 51%. All this MSW needed to be collected and transported, and this process has a high economic and environmental cost. Therefore, this study aims to identify, using spatial analysis, the routes used by MSW trucks to estimate the distances traveled to dispose of the MSW on a regional scale considering all municipalities in the São Paulo state. The findings showed that the landfill numbers decrease, mainly individual ones, which receive MSW only from the city where it is located. Otherwise, the consortium landfills number is increasing, as well as the number of municipalities that share the same disposal site. Consequently, the distances to transport MSW from urban areas to final disposal sites increased by about 55% from 2012 to 2017, reaching 613 million kilometers during this period. This total distance is sufficient to make more than 12,806 laps on Earth and contribute to high fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emission.

In order to obtain evidence on the size of the impact of the Hong Kong/68 variant of influenza A2 virus on the population of São Paulo, Brazil, serum samples taken in 1967 before this variant appeared and during successive years after it appeared were examined for their antibody content. Haemagglutination-inhibition tests performed on a total of 2726 serum samples from adults showed a sharp decrease in 1969 of the proportion of sera without antibody to the Hong Kong/68 variant and a corresponding mercase in the proportion with high titres. It was concluded that about three-quarters of the adult population became infected at some time after the variant appeared, the majority in the first year of prevalence.

RESUMOAs cidades brasileiras enfrentam sérios problemas de mobilidade urbana causados, principalmente, pelo padrão de desenvolvimento urbano (disperso, segregado e dependente do modal rodoviário). O aumento dos congestionamentos e acidentes, a precariedade do transporte coletivo público, o aumento das distâncias percorridas no cotidiano e a falta de infraestruturas necessárias tem se tornando, cada vez mais, problemas estruturais nas cidades. Este artigo propõe um diagnóstico da mobilidade urbana em Piracicaba, interior do estado de São Paulo, através do sistema cicloviário como alternativa para o panorama atual de mobilidade na cidade. Como metodologia, realizou-se levantamento bibliográfico, de dados e documental; trabalhos em campo e mapeamento temático. Os resultados desta pesquisa apontam para sérios problemas da mobilidade urbana apresentados na cidade, tais como o aumento na frota de automóveis (67%) e motocicletas (150%) entre os anos de 2002 e 2015 além de um sistema cicloviário deficitário, com trechos que não interligam as principais áreas das cidades, possuindo um caráter de lazer ao invés de funcional para as atividades do cotidiano da população.Palavras-chaves: Mobilidade Urbana; Sistema cicloviário; Piracicaba – São Paulo. ABSTRACTBrazilian cities have been facing serious urban mobility problems caused mainly by the pattern of urban development (dispersed, segregated and road modal dependent). The increases in traffic jams and accidents, the precarious public transport, the increase in daily life distances and the lack of necessary infrastructure are increasingly becoming structural problems in cities. This article proposes a diagnosis of urban mobility in the Piracicaba, in São Paulo state interior, through the bicycle system as an alternative to the current panorama of mobility in the city. As methodology, a bibliographical and data survey was carried out, also field work and thematic mapping. The results show serious urban mobility problems in the city, such as the increase in the car fleet (67%) and motorcycles (150%) from 2002 to 2015 and a deficient bicycle system, with non-interconnected paths to the city’s main areas and having a leisure character rather than functional for the population daily activities.Keywords: Urban Mobility; Bicycle path system; Piracicaba - São Paulo.
