11.6 By 2030, reduce the adverse per capita environmental impact of cities, including by paying special attention to air quality and municipal and other waste management;
11.7 By 2030, provide universal access to safe, inclusive and accessible, green and public spaces, in particular for women and children, older persons and persons with disabilities;
11.A Support positive economic, social and environmental links between urban, peri-urban and rural areas by strengthening national and regional development planning;
11.B By 2020, substantially increase the number of cities and human settlements adopting and implementing integrated policies and plans towards inclusion, resource efficiency, mitigation and adaptation to climate change, resilience to disasters, and develop and implement, in line with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, holistic disaster risk management at all levels;
11.C Support least developed countries, including through financial and technical assistance, in building sustainable and resilient buildings utilizing local materials.

The Center for Bee Studies and Protection (CEPA) is an interdisciplinary, innovative, and long-term initiative dedicated to the conservation and sustainable use of bees in Brazil. Its creation is justified by the urgent need to address the global decline of pollinators and the resulting threat to food security, biodiversity, and ecosystem services. CEPA aims to translate technical and sci…
This project proposes the methodological and conceptual adaptation of the Urban Health Response Resource Kit, developed by the World Health Organization (WHO), to the sub-municipal level, with a pilot application in a low-income community of the São Paulo Metropolitan Region. The research will be carried out in collaboration with CEFavela. The main objective is to test and adjust the WHO'…
Climate change intensifies extreme events such as storms, floods and heatwaves, impacting urban infrastructure and compromising essential services. Various urban actors - utilities, companies, hospitals and research centers - make individual efforts to increase the resilience of their operations, but the lack of coordination reduces the effectiveness of these actions. To address this chal…

This project addresses the issue of environmental injustice in the São Paulo Metropolitan Region (RMSP), where social inequalities determine unequal access to urban green spaces (UGS) and exacerbate vulnerability to urban heat islands. Unplanned urbanization and spatial stratification have reinforced the concentration of UGS in higher-income areas, while peripheral and racialized populati…
Urban sprawl refers to an extensive territorial expansion that advances into areas with little or no infrastructure, green or protected areas, or unsuitable areas with environmental risk. Thus, it is characterized by generating inefficient urban voids, creating low connectivity of the basic infrastructure network, and appropriating areas with socio-environmental functions for the municipa…
Abstract The expansion of urban areas has become a reality in many Brazilian cities, whether due to natural urban growth or policies encouraging new subdivisions by public authorities and/or private interests.This phenomenon is not exclusive to Brazil, but has been observed in several countries around the world. If this expansion occurs without respecting the cities' urban planning guidel…

Over the past 30 years, the Center of Sao Paulo has been the target of many urban projects and initiatives that aim its requalification and revalorization. The reason behind that leads back to the 1960s, when the central region of the city started to go through an emptying process due to the rapid growth and valorization of the southwest axis of Sao Paulo, especially the Paulista Avenue r…
Brazil stands out as one of the main producers of mining waste and construction debris, lacking an effective and sustainable system for their disposal, which generates significant environmental problems in the disposal of these wastes, such as dam ruptures and depletion of landfill space. As a consequence, in addition to producing a large volume of economically worthless waste, these huma…

In recent years, deep learning techniques have proven highly effective in identifying complex patterns in data within Euclidean domains. However, many urban phenomena, such as crime, manifest spatially along the road network, resulting in linear distributions that do not conform well to the traditional two-dimensional Euclidean space. In such cases, the urban structure can be more appropr…
The increasing demand for efficient and sustainable urban mobility solutions moves us towards new paradigms, such as using Autonomous Electric Vehicles (AEVs). Managing fleets of AEVs requires advanced optimization techniques, but these do not work well for large-scale deployments in dynamic environments. This research project evaluates the potential of Deep Reinforcement Learning (Deep R…
This project proposes an innovative investigation into the strategic use of nucleation seeds (magnesite and hydromagnesite) to optimize the hydration and carbonation kinetics in reactive MgO-based cements, aiming to significantly enhance CO¿ capture and mineralization rates. The study combines advanced experimental approaches and microstructural characterization to elucidate the fundament…

The research aims to analyze the correlation between cultural heritage protection and urban planning, beyond the Brazilian context. In Brazil, the master's research focuses on one of the first experiences of urban heritage protection, developed for the port region of the city of Rio de Janeiro during the 1980s, known as the Sagas Project. This project is significant in both local and nati…
This document presents the work proposal and research activities to be carried out by Lara Vilela Vitarelli during her exchange at the Centro de Investigaciones Estratégicas y de Desarrollo Económico y Social (CIEDES) Foundation, as part of her master's research supervised by Prof. Dr. Maria Gabriela Caffarena Celani (UNICAMP), under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Carmen García (CIEDES/Univ…
This project proposes a one-month research internship at the Institute for Scientific and Technological Research of San Luis Potosí (IPICYT), in Mexico, under the supervision of Dr. Fredy Alvarado. The objective is to complement the ongoing Scientific Initiation project funded by FAPESP, developed at UNESP in Rio Claro under the supervision of Prof. Dr. João Carlos de Castro Pena. The mai…
