RESUMO

This work investigates the role of the plans and urban projects elaborated for the structuring of the (re)qualification process of the Central Region of the metropolitan-city of São Paulo in the period between 1970-2000, and examines which would be its presente and future challenges. Based on the evaluation of the institutional scenario of the urban planning in the city of São Paulo, and on experiences carried through in some large cities of the word, like Rio de Janeiro, Boston, Berlin and Barcelona, and aiming at urban updating and rehabilitation, we note, in the case of São Pauo, the existence of institutional and organizational blanks which, to a great extent, explains the absence of implementation of urban projects in the re(qualification) of its central areas. To overcome this absence of an effective practice, three procedures are recommended: a) complementing the urban planning institutional ordering at national, metropolitan and local levels; b) establishment of an organizational, political and administrative system, based on territorial units smaller than districts; c) the setting up of a strategic plan to coordinate the process of rehabilitation and renewal of old urban centers and central districts. In the last part of this work a proposal is presented for the setting up of a strategic plan for the Central Area of São Paulo, consisting of three project essays considered as priorities in the structuring and ordering of the process of urban revitalization at medium and long terms: 1) Santa Ifigênia - Luz; 2) Praça da Bandeira and surroundings; and 3) Parque Dom Pedro II - Brás. These essays aim at exemplifying which and what type of urban projects are lacking in São Paulo.
