    Planejamento urbano e regional para o enfrentamento das mudanças climáticas: estudo de caso na Região Metropolitana do Vale do Paraíba e Litoral Norte
    (Universidade de Taubaté) Villanova, Luana Braz; Toniolo, Maria Angélica; Puga, Bruno Peregrina
    Os eventos climáticos extremos têm afetado de maneira intensa o território urbano, tornando-se uma ameaça sistêmica às cidades de maneira geral. Diante da crescente concentração de pessoas e atividades econômicas nas cidades, as Regiões Metropolitanas passaram a ser vítimas dos desastres de cunho ambiental. Esta pesquisa busca compreender se os Planos Diretores em diferentes escalas têm incorporado os conceitos que representam as novas abordagens de Planejamento Urbano e Regional. Para tanto, investigou-se a presença dos termos Mudança Climática, Soluções Baseadas na Natureza, Serviços Ecossistêmicos e Infraestrutura Verde nos Planos Diretores e nos Cadernos de elaboração do Plano de Desenvolvimento Urbano Integrado da Região Metropolitana do Vale do Paraíba e Litoral Norte. Este estudo aponta que há falta de alinhamento e de coordenação entre os Planos Diretores no que se refere às novas diretrizes de planejamento para o enfrentamento das mudanças climáticas e ressalta que o Plano de Desenvolvimento Urbano Integrado pode servir como balizador na elaboração dos próximos Planos Diretores municipais se superar os desafios de articulação e de cooperação interfederativa.

    Green New Deal para ellos y Same Old Deal para nosotros. Implicaciones de la agenda de transición verde para Brasil
    (Ecología Política) Puga, Bruno Peregrina; Saes, Beatriz Macchione; Cechin, Andrei Domingues
    Los nuevos pactos verdes en la Unión Europea, Estados Unidos y ahora también en China posiblemente supondrán un fortalecimiento del modelo exportador primario latinoamericano, con serias implicaciones para el desarrollo y el medio ambiente local. Dadas las características productivas, las asimetrías de poder y la heterogeneidad estructural de los países latinoamericanos, el artículo pretende confrontar los posibles efectos del Green New Deal para los países centrales con el probable Same Old Deal para los periféricos como Brasil. Además, se plantea si una transición a una economía verde puede fortalecer el modelo de desarrollo en boga (primario-exportador, con baja diversidad y baja sofisticación productiva) en Brasil, lo que resultaría en un retroceso socioespacial, con mayor presión sobre los ecosistemas y precariedad de las relaciones laborales.

    Advancing urban water security: The urbanization of water–society relations and entry–points for political engagement
    (Taylor & Francis) Empinotti, Vanessa Lucena; Budds, Jessica; Jepson, Wendy; Millington, Nate; Ferrara, Luciana Nicolau; Geere, Jo-Anne; Grandisoli, Edson; Paz, Mariana Gutierres Arteiro da; Puga, Bruno Peregrina; Alves, Estela Macedo; Cawood, Sally; Jacobi, Pedro Roberto; Kinjo, Victor Uehara; Lampis, Andrea; Moretti, Ricardo; Octavianti, Thanti; Periotto, Natalia; Quinn, Ruth; Quintslr, Suyá; Sulaiman, Samia; Vicente, Paula Arce; Wahby, Noura
    We seek to advance a critical and relational concept of urban water security that theorizes urban processes in relation to the hydro- social dynamics that produce experiences of water securities and insecurities at multiple scales. Our intention is to set out an analy- tical framework that both examines the social relations that under- pin water insecurity and goes beyond the urban as merely the context in which water provision and risk take place. We seek to mobilize this concept to envision meaningful water policies and hydro-social practices to enhance social equity and empowerment for urban communities.

    Mobilization of bias: learning from drought and flood crises in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Jakarta
    (Taylor & Francis) Quintslr, Suyá; Puga, Bruno Peregrina; Octavianti, Thanti
    This article examines water crises in three megacities (São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Jakarta) in the Global South. While crises can delegitimize the dominant water policy and lead to policy change, this does not necessarily come about in all cases. Drawing data from key informant interviews, newspaper articles and policy documents, and using Steven Lukes’ three faces of power framework, we observe how crisis framing has reinforced large infrastructures for water supply and flood protection. In the three case studies, powerful actors combined the three faces of power to shape public opinion in pursuit of their own agendas.

    Who Governs at What Price? Technocratic Dominance, Ways of Knowing, and Long-Term Resilience of Brazil's Water System
    (Frontiersin) Almazán-Casali, Stefania; Puga, Bruno Peregrina; Lemos, Maria Carmen
    Technocratic decision making has been long criticized for dampening participation and limiting the range of adaptive choices through its overreliance on infrastructure-based solutions. There has been growing attention to how technocratic approaches shape long-term resilience of water systems, especially under the threat of climatic change impacts. In Brazil, even under its highly decentralized and participatory water management system, technical expertise and science-based decisions have been often promoted as a desirable mechanism to insulate governance outcomes from the country’s prevailing clientelistic and rent-seeking politics. Yet, Brazilian river basins continue to struggle with long-standing problems (such as universal access to sanitation) and increasing challenges for guaranteeing water provision under recurrent drought. In this study, we examine how technocratic insulation, different ways of knowing (WoKs), and participatory governance shape long-term resilience in one of Brazil’s most important river basins, the Piracicaba-Capivari-Jundiaí (PCJ). By taking an in-depth look at how the PCJ River Basin’s governance system responded to the 2014 Brazilian water crisis, we seek to understand how planning decisions in the aftermath of the crisis were influenced by different actors, and how the outcomes of those decisions are likely to shape long term resilience. Based on 27 in-depth interviews with members of the PCJ River Basin Committees, we show how a distinct preference for infrastructure-based solutions to deal with on-going and upcoming challenges may be unsustainable under climate change as the basin’s traditional technocratic approach failed both to insulate its decisions from politics and to explore adaptive water management solutions that might be key to shape long-term resilience.
