Urban Operation of Linha Verde. Questions about legislation

Abstract

This paper discusses the assumptions defined by the regulation of the Urban Operation Linha Verde (OUC Linha Verde) in Curitiba, between 2011 and 2015. The various aspects that characterized the speeches and actions provided for by Laws N° 13.909/2011 and N° 14773/2015 which, respectively, originated and changed the OUC Linha Verde, allow the perception that the use of urban planning techniques, together with discursive strategies, arising from the legal field, contribute to the consolidation of a legitimizing scenario of the real estate market. The article consists of a brief presentation of the fundamentals of the urban project of the OUC Linha Verde, the results achieved, the regulation of its legislation, based on the concepts of some theorists who offer important analysis tools, notably in the form of categories, by the problematization of the land financialization process, highlighting the contradiction between exchange value and use value in the production of urban spaces. Based on this, one can observe the role of private property as a condition for the establishment of urban policies based on the financialization of urban production.
