O Transporte Público Metropolitano Do Estado De São Paulo Durante a COPA DO MUNDO DA FIFA BRASIL 2014™ O transporte público metropolitano do Estado de São Paulo durante a COPA DO MUNDO DA FIFA BRASIL 2014™ Durante a abertura e os seis jogos da COPA DO MUNDO DA FIFA BRASIL 2014™ que serão realizados na cidade de São Paulo, a melhor maneira de acessar a Arena Corinthians é o transporte público, especialmente os sistemas de metrô e trens, pois as principais vias que dão acesso ao estádio serão bloqueadas ao tráfego de veículos. O sistema metroferroviário do Estado de São Paulo é formado pela Companhia Paulista de Trens Metropolitanos (CPTM), pela Companhia do Metropolitano de São Paulo (Metrô) e pela ViaQuatro (que administra a Linha 4 de metrô) que, juntas, possuem uma rede de mais de 336 quilômetros de vias e servem a 22 municípios (http://www.metro.sp.gov.br/pdf/mapa-da-rede-metro.pdf). Por uma tarifa única de R$ 3,00, os passageiros podem utilizar os 260,8 km de trilhos e 92 estações da CPTM, e os 75,5 km e 65 estações de Metrô. Diariamente, mais de 7,4 milhões de pessoas utilizam o sistema de transporte público sobre trilhos. Já o sistema de ônibus metropolitanos é operado pela Empresa Metropolitana de Transportes Urbanos (EMTU/SP), que atende 107 cidades, com tarifas que variam de acordo com as distâncias percorridas. Para a COPA DO MUNDO DA FIFA BRASIL 2014™, o Metrô e a CPTM possuem linhas paralelas que atenderão à demanda de transporte ao estádio Arena Corinthians: as linhas 3–Vermelha do Metrô e 11– Coral da CPTM. 1 Os torcedores com ingressos para a entrada LESTE do estádio deverão utilizar o Expresso da Copa da CPTM que sairá da plataforma 4 da estação da Luz (Linha 11) com destino à estação Corinthians-Itaquera, a 900 metros do estádio. Não haverá paradas intermediárias e o tempo de viagem estimado é de 19 minutos. Na operação retorno, o Expresso da Copa terá tempo estimado de 23 minutos e com paradas nas estações Tatuapé e Brás. O destino será a plataforma 3 da estação Luz. Aqueles com ingressos para a entrada OESTE do estádio deverão utilizar a Linha 3 do Metrô e desembarcar na estação Arthur Alvim, que também fica a 900 metros do estádio. O tempo previsto de viagem varia, considerando as mais de 65 estações possíveis. Como exemplos, a partir da estação Sé o tempo estimado é de 30 minutos e da estação Barra Funda, 41 minutos. Na abertura do evento, no dia 12 de junho, e nos demais jogos realizados em São Paulo, a EMTU/SP ofertará a linha expressa Airport Bus Service, com embarque no Aeroporto Internacional de Guarulhos e desembarque na Arena Corinthians, com saídas a cada 30 minutos, 7 horas antes e até 4 horas após as partidas. Os ônibus possuem ar-condicionado, poltronas estofadas e reclináveis. A viagem tem duração prevista de 30 minutos e tarifa de R$ 36,50 mais taxa de embarque de R$ 1,50. Uma linha de ônibus suburbana oferecerá transporte entre o Aeroporto Internacional de Guarulhos e a estação Tatuapé do Metrô. A viagem tem duração estimada de 55 minutos e tarifa de R$ 4,45. Press Relations Para realizar trabalho de cunho jornalístico de qualquer natureza nas dependências do Metrô de São Paulo e da CPTM – acessos, estações, plataformas e trens –, ou ainda nas linhas operadas pela EMTU/SP, é necessária a prévia comunicação e autorização da Assessoria de Imprensa (ver procedimentos abaixo). Entenda-se por trabalho jornalístico filmagens, fotografias, gravações, transmissões e entrevistas (seja com porta-vozes oficiais, usuários do sistema ou terceiros). Não serão autorizadas reportagens nos horários de pico (das 6h00 às 9h00 e das 17h00 às 20h00) nos dias úteis, nas plataformas de embarque/desembarque e no interior dos trens e ônibus. O objetivo do procedimento é evitar transtornos e contratempos que prejudiquem a segurança dos usuários e a realização do trabalho da mídia. Necessária também a comunicação prévia para transporte de equipamentos de filmagem, mesmo que seu uso não venha a ser feito na rede metroferroviária ou nas linhas operadas pela EMTU.

The São Paulo State metro-rail system is made up of the São Paulo Metropolitan Rail Company (Companhia Paulista de Trens Metropolitanos – CPTM), the São Paulo Metropolitan Company (Companhia do Metropolitano de São Paulo – Metro), and ViaQuatro (which manages the metro’s Line 4). Combined, the three operators oversee a system stretching more than 336 kilometers and serving 22 municipalities (http://www.metro.sp.gov.br/pdf/mapa-da-rede- metro.pdf). For a single fare of R$ 3.00, passengers have access to the CPTM’s 260.8 km rail system and 92 stations and the Metro’s 75.5 km rail system and 65 stations. Every day more than 7.4 million commuters use the public rail transport system. The city’s metropolitan bus system is operated by the Metropolitan Urban Transit Company (Empresa Metropolitana de Transportes Urbanos – EMTU/SP) and serves 107 cities at fares that vary according to commute distances. For the 2014 FIFA WORLD CUP BRAZIL™, the Metro and the CPTM will operate parallel lines to meet passenger demand to Arena Corinthians: the Metro’s Line 3-Red and the CPTM’S Line 11-Coral. Fans with tickets to the venue’s EAST gate should take the CPTM Expresso da Copa, departing platform 4 at the Luz Station (Line 11) toward the Corinthians-Itaquera station, located 900 meters from the stadium. The Expresso da Copa will provide passengers with non-stop service between the two stations in an estimated of 19 minutes. Following matches, the Expresso da Copa will offer return trip services running approximately 23 minutes, with stops at the Tatuapé and Brás stations. The final destination of the Expresso da Copa’s return leg will be platform 3 at the Luz Station. Fans with tickets to the venue’s WEST gate should take the Metro’s Line 3 and get off at the Arthur Alvim Station, located 900 meters from the stadium. Travel times will vary given the 65 stations distributed throughout the system. By way of example, however, the ride will take an estimated 30 minutes from the Sé Station and about 41 minutes from the Barra Funda Station. For the event’s opening game on June 12 and the other matches played in São Paulo, the EMTU/SP will operate an express Airport Bus Service from the Guarulhos International Airport to Arena Corinthians, running every 30 minutes beginning 7 hours prior to match time 4 hours after the final whistle. Express buses will be air-conditioned and have reclining upholstered seats. The ride will take approximately 30 minutes and cost R$ 36.50, plus a R$ 1.50 boarding fee. A suburban bus line will provide transportation between the Guarulhos International Airport and the Metro’s Tatuapé Station. The travel time will run an estimated 55 minutes at a cost of R$ 4.45. Press Relations News media activities of any nature in São Paulo Metro facilities – access points, stations, platforms, trains – or, further, along lines operated by the EMTU/SP – requires submission of a prior request for authorization by the Company Media Relations Office (see procedures below); News media work encompasses filming, photography, video or audio recordings, broadcasts, and interviews (whether with Company employees, system riders, or third parties); News reporting will not be authorized on boarding/alighting platforms or on trains or buses during morning and evening rush hours on business days (6:00 a.m. – 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.). The objective of this requirement is to prevent disruptions and unforeseen circumstances capable of putting the safety of users and the work of news media professionals at risk. Prior notification is also required to transport film equipment, even if not used in the metro-rail system or on EMTU operated lines. Information required for recording or filming applications: Name of applicant Contact (email and telephone) Name of media outlet Country of origin (nationality) Description of the taping/photography Location: stations and lines utilized Estimated duration of recording or filming Whether interviews will be conducted during recording or filming Number of staff on news team Scheduled broadcast date Requests for authorization will be processed in a timely and expedited manner and should be submitted as follows: o Email: [email protected] o Email: [email protected] o Email: [email protected] o Email: [email protected] Or by telephone: - Monday-Friday (8:00 a.m.

  • Privatizing Urban Planning and the Struggle for Inclusive Urban Development: New Redevelopment Forms and Participatory Planning in São Paulo
    Privatizing Urban Planning and the Struggle for Inclusive Urban Development: New Redevelopment Forms and Participatory Planning in São Paulo by Joshua Daniel Shake A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Urban and Regional Planning) in The University of Michigan 2016 Doctoral Committee: Professor Martin J. Murray, Chair Associate Professor David S. Bieri, Virginia Tech University Assistant Professor Harley F. Etienne Clinical Professor Melvyn Levitsky Associate Professor Eduardo Cesar Leão Marques, University of São Paulo © Joshua Daniel Shake 2016 DEDICATION To my mother, who gave me my love for books, inspired my passion for travel, and always encouraged me to ask questions about the world around me. She may no longer be here with me, but I know I would not be where I am today without her guidance and love and that she continues to provide both. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Over the past four years, I have discovered that completing a Ph.D. is an odd mixture of personal dedication, determination, and desire, along with making sure you have the right people around you to provide guidance, help, and support along the way. While in the limited space here I cannot give due credit to all of those that contributed in some form to this endeavor, I do want to call attention to a few very important individuals without whom I would not have completed this undertaking. My first and largest thank you goes to my committee members: Martin Murray, Eduardo Marques, Harley Etienne, David Bieri, and Melvyn Levitsky. Their feedback and advice on research, academic, and non-academic issues will always be valued.

    Innovation is ViaQuatro’s trademark for São Paulo’s urban mobility Subway Line 4 (Yellow) offers unprecedented technologies to its passengers Responsible for the operation and maintenance of Line 4 (Yellow) of the São Paulo subway, ViaQuatro invests in innovations exclusively designed to transport passengers in a safe, fast and comfortable way. Its technological edge ranges from platform doors to the driverless system, timers that show when the train will arrive at the station and a display that shows the number of people in each car. Line 4 (Yellow) trains are equipped with the most modern subway technology, which combines radio CBTC (Communications-based train control) and driverless operation (no conductors). This system prevents human errors and controls both train speed and intervals, as necessary. It also controls the number of trips, door opening times and the number of trains in the line based on passenger demand. Line 4 (Yellow) trains have air conditioning, free passage between the cars, mobile phone signal, low noise level, energy efficient lighting and direct communication with the Operation Control Center (CCO). CCTV cameras follow movements in real time throughout the line, inside the trains, in the stations and in the parking and maintenance yards. The fleet, composed of 29 trains, carries 750,000 passengers per business day, in 951 trips. The stations are also modern and comfortable. Line 4 (Yellow) was the first line in Latin America to install glass panel doors that separate the platform from the rails. The platform doors open at the same time as the train doors and trains stop exactly where users get on and off, helping reduce the number of accidents and interruptions in the subway.

Steinmetz, Chair Associate Professor Matthew Hull Assistant Professor Robert S. Jansen Associate Professor Greta R. Krippner Associate Professor Claire A. Zimmerman © José Henrique Bortoluci 2016 All archaeology of matter is an archaeology of humanity. What this clay hides and shows is the passage of a being through time and space, the marks left by fingers, the scratches left by fingernails, the ashes and the charred logs of burned-out bonfires, our bones and those of others, the endlessly bifurcating paths disappearing off into the distance and merging with each other. José Saramago, The cave, p. 66. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS From the moment I began to cultivate the initial ideas for this dissertation on the house as a political and cultural assemblage, I have lived in at least eleven houses in two different cities. These cities could not be more dissimilar: the São Paulo of movement, concrete, traffic, the continuous sensorial excitement that inspires (if it does not drive you mad), and scandalous inequality and the Ann Arbor of cafés and libraries, long and cold winters, running tracks by the river, and a soothing yet sometimes annoying and artificial calm (do not forget Detroit is around the corner). My experience of these two cities, colored by visits to Jaú and Rio de Janeiro whenever possible, are the background and the material of this dissertation.
