Para além do CEU: os Centros Educacionais Unificados de São Paulo como polos catalizadores de transformação urbana

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to understand the trajectory of implementation and integration of Unified Educational Centers (CEUs) with their urban surroundings as an accelerating agent of urban and social requalification. Through the analysis and spatialization of updated data, the study aims to comprehend the specificities of each region or immediate territory of these public facilities, contributing to research that seeks to incorporate key issues of requalification proposals into city studies. To achieve these objectives, the research will employ methods such as field visits, document and geospatial data collection and analysis, as well as a literature review focused on the role of 3rd-generation CEUs (from 2013 to 2024) in promoting urban transformation. The expected results of this study aim to provide new insights and pathways for public policies and urban practices that seek to integrate CEUs with their surroundings, contributing to smarter, more sustainable, and inclusive cities. The anticipated findings of the research have the potential to positively influence public policies by providing guidelines for the effective integration of CEUs into urban planning. The expectation is that the discoveries can be applied to improve the quality of life in urban areas, ensuring that the benefits of urban requalification are broadly shared and contribute to the construction of more resilient and adaptable cities for future needs.
