Urban regimes: a comparison between urban consortium operations

Abstract

This article aims to compare the legal frameworks of urban consortium operations in the municipalities of Osasco and São Bernardo do Campo, both located in the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo, based on the perspective of urban regimes. We intend to demonstrate that the geographical scale promoted by the urban consortium operation is indicative of the way in which the relationship between the government and the private sector is processed, either towards greater regulation of urban space production or towards greater flexibility.
