update on urban voids reports. These follow-up actions remain on the government’s
agenda and imply a lack of control over the project’s duration. However, the current
survey on urban voids will be institutionalized as research and produce results such
as analyses and publications.
The second axis, Training, aims to strengthen the power of leaders and Beira
Trilhos communities, in order to expand their role into the current process, additional
student and associated social member training. Actions such as visits, meetings,
courses and seminars on the right to the city will be developed.
The third axis, Global Project, aims to create a global vision and include various
representatives, when facing the current situation of Beira Trilhos. Actions such as:
exchange visits in order to learn about similar experiences that have led to solutions
to the problem in Beira Trilhos, as well as working meetings in order to search for
and map potential financing representatives. By being an axis of articulation with
multiple representatives, it aims to build a definite solution to the issue, however, it
may fail to hold total control of actions involved in such project.
The actions promoted within the community, clearly linked to the Training
axis, should be flexible and supported by the community shared experiences. The
methodological steps should be discussed and re-established jointly as an open and
articulated workplan, including community members, students and teachers.
The proposed actions indicate an initial and integrated reflection for the resolution
of specific issues, and it follows a similar trajectory to the one described in Chart 1.
3 Results and Discussion
Based on theoretical accounts (Lefebvre 1969; Santos 2012; Rolnik 2017; Maricatto
2015) the project’s methodological and its foreseeable results, the primary focus, in
2019, included reviewing and understanding the physical territory where organizations and communities were located. It also included updating the data related to
populations living in the same territory (Scorsatto et al. 2019).
Examining the territory involved interconnecting the current project with pedagogical activities and incorporating such themes into the development of a course
completion project. Scorsatto (2019), one of the scholarship grantees involved in
the Beira Trilhos group, developed an urban analysis and data resulting from the
community demographic diagnoses. Scorsatto focused on the main route of occupations at the Vera Cruz and Valinhos neighbourhoods, its characteristic of greater
population and seniority, as it was part of the original road railway—from the end of
the nineteenth century.
In order to complement these analyses and diagnoses, Scorsatto developed an
honour’s thesis proposal for an urban project in the area. All guiding intervention
proposal principles focuses on integrated urban planning, sustainable development,
the bottom-up approach, the city as a meeting place, the human scale, expected
housing and walking. In addition, the proposal was structured into axes guidelines
that are: housing, mobility, security, work, ecology, leisure and social. For each
