CARRIERE, Jean-Paul e HOCHART, Karine. Is a sustainable and socially inclusive urban development possible in the socio-spatial fragmented context of cities in emerging countries? Reflections from the case of Recife (Brazil) and Chennai (India). GOT [online]. 2016, n.9, pp.35-63. ISSN 2182-1267. https://doi.org/10.17127/got/2016.9.003.
In a globalized context, the development of sustainable and socially inclusive cities involves many competing challenges. The comparative analysis of the cases of Chennai, in India, and Recife, in Brazil, shows that beyond the specificities of these cities, comparable socio-spatial fragmentation process can be highlighted, as well as a gap between a discourse on social integration and urban practices guided by the pursuit of attractiveness, leading to an accentuation of inequalities. These contradictions refer to conflicts between strategic planning, forces of the real estate market, expectations of people. Thus, the analysis of these contradictions calls to rethink the articulation of the local / global dialectic and to question the effectivity of the “right to the city” in societies of emerging countries. The comparison introduced in this paper is based on researches done first in Recife for the beginning of the actual decade, and more recently in Chennai.
