O conceito de “cidade de 15 minutos” como possível norteador de políticas públicas e o plano diretor estratégico do município de São Paulo

Abstract

In the city of São Paulo, as well as in other metropolises of the global south, part of the population is subjected to long daily commutes on the way from home to work, it is the socalled pendulum movement, carried out predominantly by the poorest layers of society, and which negatively interferes in the quality of life of these people, in addition to generating harmful impacts on the environment. urban space and the city's economy. The "15-Minute City", a model presented by architect Carlos Moreno in 2016, whose main premise is that people are within a temporal distance of 15 minutes, to be covered on foot or by bicycle, from all the main activities of daily life, has been gaining space in debates on urban planning in recent years and represents a possibility to make cities fairer, more inclusive and more sustainable, thus aligning with SDG 11 of the 2030 Agenda – Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable. Understanding that the Strategic Master Plan is the law responsible for directing the growth and development of cities, this work intends to investigate the presence of alignment between the concept of "15-Minute City" and the Strategic Master Plan of the Municipality of São Paulo – Law nº. 16.050/2014, although the concept of "15-Minute City" is after the publication of said law. The investigation will be carried out through quantitative and qualitative analysis of the text of Law nº 16.050/2014, in search of excerpts that may represent alignment or notorious opposition to the concept of "15 Minute City". In the quantitative analysis, 10 terms that best represented the core of the concept of the "15- Minute City" were selected and the presence of the terms in the text of the law will be identified. In the qualitative analysis, the excerpts of the law with alignment or notorious opposition to the concept of "15-Minute City" will be identified, even if they do not necessarily use the terms selected in the quantitative analysis stage. In addition to the analysis of the original text of the Strategic Master Plan, this work will seek to identify the impact of the mid-term review of the Plan, carried out through Law nº 17,975/2023, in the context of the concept of "15-Minute City".
