SANTOS, Jouberte  and  MELLO, Sérgio. An archaeological view of the discourses around the Large Urban Projects (GPUs): the case of the New Recife Project. GOT [online]. 2018, n.13, pp.409-434. ISSN 2182-1267.  https://doi.org/10.17127/got/2018.13.018.

The present work had as objective to analyze the discourse of the urban project "New Recife" from the perspectives of the City Hall of Recife and the Consortium responsible for the work. Using the archaeological method of Foucault (2008) we find a discourse regulated by the idea of economic growth as a condition for the possibility of a more sustainable city. Our findings pointed to the presence of the strategic planning discourse in the public administration of Recife, as well as the use of the Large Urban Projects (LUPs) as appropriate tools for the construction of a more sustainable city and for economic growth. The set of interrelated meanings identified led us to establish a great discourse formation called "Economic Growth generates sustainability".

Keywords : Economic Growth; Public Management; Foucauldian Archeology.
