| Summary: | In Brazil, there is a clear strengthening of debates about the instruments of
City Statute, which are discussed under the light of social management of
land appreciation. Their degree of effectiveness, their low popular
participation and their use to legitimize policies engendered by particular
interests are usually questioned. This paper investigates the capacity of
Joint Urban Operations as a instrument for surplus land value recovery.
Starting from a study on Faria Lima Urban Operation, limitations and
opportunities of Linha Verde Urban Operation (Curitiba-PR), which is being
implemented, is prospectively discussed. Analysis performed came up with
observations that were, at the same time, complementary and contradictory. On
one hand, it is necessary to recognize urban operation’s potential as an
instrument able to leverage urban transformation, dividing costs of public
action among other stakeholders. On the other hand, however, its low
efficiency - from the perspective of social management of land appreciation -
is clear, and shows a lack of mechanisms that could ensure a minimal
addressing of the funds for constructions of public interest. |
