This book is the result of ANPUR’s biannual national conference, held in May 2023 in Belém, Brazil. It compiles fourteen chapters selected from the 778 papers presented at the event. The best paper from each session was chosen by the scientific commissions. Over the years, the themes of the annual conferences have evolved, reflecting the state of urban and regional planning in Brazil. The first group of studies addresses urban and regional spaces, public policies, city networks, and the metropolitan issue in Brazil. The second group focuses on housing, environmental issues, and the Right to the City, alongside emerging social themes such as history, cultural identity, and social movements. The third group examines the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on cities and regions. The fourth group includes new interpretations of urban and regional concerns, with an emphasis on gender, ethnicity, and resilience in relation to identity and territories. Finally, a fifth group highlights the conference’s location, with a focus on land-use changes and socio-environmental conflicts in the Amazon region.
The production and publication of this book have been supported by the Urban Studies Foundation.
