GEOGRAPHICAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE CONTEXT

Region of 
ABC
in the state of Sao Paulo
 
What is the formal position of region government within the broader governance framework?
How autonomous is it of levels of government (including in relation to finances)?
 
GEOGRAPHICAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE CONTEXT
 
 
Brazil is a federation decentralized since the Constitution of
1988, formed by three federative entities:
 
Federation
States
Counties
 
The three units have political, administrative and budget
autonomy.
However, there is a lack of an intermediate scale of governance
(with attribution of responsibilities for planning actions) that
legitimizes new territorial arrangements, in the Regional Scale,
between states and municipalities.

How autonomous is it of levels of government (including in relation to finances)?
 
What are the intentions/preoccupations/aspirations of regional government?
What are the stated objectives of regional government in relation to urban futures?

METROPOLITAN REGION OF SÃO PAULO AND THE REGION OF ABC
 
The Metropolitan Regions are territorial organizations, but they
do not have autonomy for decisions.
In 2015, at the federal level, the Metropolis Statute was
approved, which requires the elaboration of the PDUI (Integrated
Urban Master Plan) that will attempt to integrate unique
guidelines for the municipalities of the Metropolitan Regions.
 
What are the intentions/preoccupations/aspirations of regional government?
What are the stated objectives of regional government in relation to urban futures?
 
What are the relational capabilities (“embeddedness”) of regional government?
What is the history and background to these? Which of them does city government pay most attention to?
 
THE REGION OF ABC
 
The Region of ABC was formed by seven
municipalities: Santo André, São Bernardo do
Campo, São Caetano do Sul, Diadema, Mauá,
Ribeirão Pires and Rio Grande da Serra.
It currently has a population of 2,544,554
inhabitants and has

Border conflicts
 
What are the relational capabilities (“embeddedness”) of regional government?
To what extent is there coherence or divergence in the visions/policies/strategies for the region across the levels?
 
MUNICIPAL POLICIES X REGIONAL CONFLICTS
 
There is unity in historical formation, but
there is no unity in territorial management.
Each city adopts a specific zoning that results
in conflicts between uses
 
Industrial area x residential area
Preservation area x industrial area
 
In short, we have territorial and
management conflicts on a regional scale.
The region is not treated as a federative
entity, that is, it does not have the
autonomy to respond to these problems.
What paths have been adopted?

What are the adaptive capabilities of regional government?
Does the region government incentivise innovation within the bureaucracy?
 
Consortium of ABC is a
voluntary form of collaboration
between municipalities
 
In 1990, the Consortium of ABC was created
and became the first multisectorial
consortium of public law and autarchic
nature of the country in February 2010. It
influenced the formulation of the Federal
Consortia Law, Law no. 11,107, of April 6,
2005.
Currently, it is consolidated as a regional-
local strategy for spatial planning and
funding for the financing of sectoral public
policies
 
Capacities for Planning and Managing the Built Environment
How effective is regional government in financing and delivering infrastructure?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
MAPA DOS CORREDORES DE ÔNIBUS DO GRANDE ABC
 
In 2013 the Consortium contracted the
Regional Mobility Plan to raise federal
resources for the construction of integrated
bus corridors.
In isolation, the smaller municipalities did not
have indebtedness capacity.
The solution: the Consortium requested
resources for the seven municipalities and the
larger and more developed municipalities
assumed the largest fraction of the debts,
allowing the release of the entire resource
 
How effective is regional government in coordinating built environment functions?
What mechanisms and capacities are available to achieve coordination?
 
REGIONAL MASTER PLAN
Attempt to overcome sectorial policies and
municipal autarchy with a Regional Master
Plan.
In progress, since 2015, by the Consortium,
the seven municipalities and the Federal
University of ABC
 
Unified zoning: avoid conflicts of land
use between municipalities and
integrate public policies
 
Proposal of territorial
compartments: groupings of areas
with similar characteristics
 
Existing zoning in each
municipality: land use conflicts
 
REGIONAL ZONING
Technical and political action to transform the territory
 
How effective is regional government in coordinating built environment functions?
What mechanisms and capacities are available to achieve coordination?
 
How effective is regional government in coordinating built environment functions?
Where are the critical points where co-ordination is required?
 
MAIN CHALLENGES
 
1. Overcoming the localist tradition
Municipalities concentrate decision and investment power, because all financing is municipalized.
 
2. Build a new governance standard that integrates territory beyond administrative boundaries and sectoral policies
Mediating the conflict between industrial X environmental X urban interests.
 
3. To strengthen the relation between the different scales (federal, metropolitan and municipal state)
Currently, the PDR tries to dialogue with the Plan of Action of the Macrometropole and the Integrated Urban Master Plan
 
BUILD A NEW AGENDA TO REVIEW THE INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENT
 
1.
Redefine how to make new territorial associations
 
2.
To value the intermunicipal relations
 
3.
Adopt a new model of interfederative governance
 
4.
To legitimize the regions as a federative entity
 
5.
Prioritize a metropolitan fund or regional investment fund
 
6.
Inserting the civil society debate into regional and metropolitan plans
 
How to develop adaptive and transformative capacities of the region?
