After using podcasts in my Latin American Metropolis course, with @latam_cities as a key inspiration, I am thrilled to see one of the students, Grace, cohosting an episode of Sur-Urbano! Thanks to @leiteflavia1, @ipenarandac, Lucia, and Grace, for this insightful conversation ✨

In the last episode of 2024, we interview Prof. Lucia Shimbo and discuss how the rise of the large-scale social housing market in Brazil is a story about the role of the state as an enabler of private-sector housing development.

We explore how these bureaucrats collaborate with civil society, build cross-sectoral partnerships, align their initiatives with international frameworks, and use media and external recognition to advocate for policy change.

Nos retiramos da Câmara de Conciliação do @STF_oficial que discute a Lei do marco temporal (14701). Os povos indígenas não irão negociar o marco temporal e outras violações da constituição.
Esta Câmara deve ser encerrada.
