Territorial planning in Paraná as result of acting by Economy and Humanism movement in Brazil

Abstract

The acting of Economics and Humanism Movement in Brazil is analyzed based on the actions of the Society for Graphic and Mechanographic Analyses Applied to Social Complexes (SAGMACS), investigating the theoretical and methodological affiliatons in works prepared by the group for Paraná, between 1955 and 1958 and in 1963. These works, carried out in the urban discipline and regional planning, aimed at the modernization of the state, its administrative machine and economic development. We emphasize the relevance of SAGMACS in the planning of the Brazilian territory considering the publications of Economy and Humanism and other thinkers, connected with the literature that evidenced the conceptual matrices of the group founded in France in 1941. We verified that the actions of the team coordinated by Louis-Joseph Lebret contributed to the institutionalization of regional planning in Brazil, for the formation of urbanism institutions and technical assistance agencies, as well as resulted in the reorganization of the territory of Paraná, indicating the planning of its regional centers.
