The Cooperation Between the Public Agency and the University in Fighting Climate Change. The Work Plan between Suzano Municipality and FAU-Mackenzie

Abstract

This article aims to discuss the partial results of a research entitled “Referencial Design in Contemporaneity”, in the particular focus on the debate of the planning of the green area system that is being discussed in the Master Plan of the city of Suzano-SP. A “Cultural-Scientific Academic Cooperation Agreement” was formalized between these institutions to provide the exchange of information between the public agency team and the researchers of the university. This text describes the initial analysis of this work in progress considering the role of the different typologies of the green area system in fighting climate change. The discussion of the article is divided into two parts: first, the analysis of the articulation of reference cases between the cities of São Paulo and Suzano; secondly, the identification of the potential advances previously seen in Suzano’s Master Plan.

Keywords: Urban Policy; Master Plan; Green Area System.
