【 摘 要 】

Large-scale redevelopment projects have grown in use around the world and taken many forms.In Sao Paulo, Brazil, the previous and current mayoral administrations have been directing projects to redevelop the Luz neighborhood of the downtown region through contracts with private sector developers for plan creation and project completion.Additionally, community groups participate in the process through the legally mandated municipal council.Redevelopment in Sao Paulo is therefore distinctive from other contemporary redevelopment project styles occurring elsewhere:it is resulting in the privatization of urban planning and has a little used form of required participation through the municipal council structure.Nonetheless, contemporary understandings of these two governance forms suggest they cannot function concurrently.By examining cities as assemblages of urban policies—from local, national, and international sources—and understanding the pathways and contexts from which these polices emerge, we will gain new insights on the city.This reframing allows for a new understanding of public-private partnerships and democratic governance—one that breaks from the oppositional dichotomies present explicitly and implicitly in other accounts and provides for an understanding of the historical specificity of the two forms at this moment. Further, the Sao Paulo case exemplifies a more nuanced understanding of the public and private logics of urban development; they are not either/or, oppositional forces but occur concurrently in varied ways for the same urban space and project. Sometimes, they function harmoniously with consensus and cooperation, but others with contention and conflict.
