Este trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar parte dos estudos que vêm sendo desenvolvidos sobre as intervenções das políticas públicas municipais nas periferias da cidade de São Paulo. Nesse contexto, em específico, trataremos do caso da favela Jardim Maravilha, localizada no distrito da Cidade Tiradentes, no extremo leste do município, por apresentar situações peculiares - a começar pelo enorme contingente de moradores, cerca de 350 mil (segundo dados da subprefeitura local), vivendo em conjuntos habitacionais (Cohab) construídos pelo governo municipal, favelas ou ocupações irregulares em terrenos ociosos.

Se presenta el proyecto Identidad, patrimonio y desarrollo territorial en la provincia de Arauco, Chile, proyecto desarrollado el año 2012 por un equipo de arquitectos/as de la Universidad del Bío-Bío en Concepción-Chile, en convenio con la Asociación de Municipalidades de la Provincia de Arauco-Chile. El proyecto tuvo como objetivo la investigación, reconocimiento y valoración de los espacios públicos de valor patrimonial de la Provincia de Arauco-Chile, haciendo una propuesta de diseño a nivel de imagen objetivo para 40 espacios públicos deteriorados pero de gran valor patrimonial en las localidades involucradas. Se trabajó con lugares degradados y/o poco consolidados pero de una gran potencialidad urbana, con el propósito de desarrollar propuestas de recuperación que valoren el patrimonio cultural, urbano, arquitectónico y paisajístico de 6 pequeñas localidades del sur de Chile.

Modern cities have a great problem: the myth of the power of technocracy (Lefebvre), where the production based on the institutional norms and rules (standard) of coexistence results in spaces full of contradictions (some tangible and others not so much). An example of an antithesis to that technocratic city may be the praxis of informal street trade that has historically produced ephemeral spaces, which at odds with the ontological sense, is perennial, i.e.., has resisted repression and oppression, and has also managed to maintain its functioning and right to occupy and inhabit the city. Thus, the popular revolution of the Chilean spring (October 18) has shed light on many different initiatives regarding the forms of social representation and (re)appropriation of social and urban spaces, at a time when the desire of society is personified by thousands of protesters on the streets demanding dignity, justice and social rights. Facing this situation, the proposal of this article is to present the actions of the informal street trade work in the ephemeral production of the space, whose result indicates a political instinct, an intuition and sagacity in its nature that has helped it to overcome the daily barriers, allowing it to resist and remain in the city. For this study, the experience of informal street traders in the city of Concepción, Chile, the third largest and most important in the country, is presented, where the number of these workers is telling and their behavior has attracted attention during the social revolution.
