O plano de desenvolvimento local no Tucunduba: uma experiência de gestão urbana reformista na Amazônia

Abstract

This work examines the Local Development Plan (LDP) for the urban occupation of “Riacho Doce” (2001-2004), in the Tucunduba basin, in the city of Belém, based on the document conception, the perceptions of the technical team, and the experiences of the dwellers. It analyzes references and discussions regarding a new project for the city re-democratization, based on the ideals of Urban Reform. The work is, therefore, an attempt to reexamine the social space theory through the contextualization of urban planning in the Amazon region, at pace with social and spatial contradictions in urban policies for the city of Belém. It is an exercise of recognition and acknowledgement of the city complexities, as well as a proposal for new possibilities of urban management.
