| Abstract | |
From the industrialization and urban growth process in São Paulo, the Tiete river territory become to provide support for a range of technical devices and infrastructure networks, that are essential to the full functioning of the metropolis, thus setting an utilitarian landscape over the floodplain. The various attempts to control the flow of its waters did not prevent, however, that the relationship between the city and the environment to be conflicting. This research recognizes in the mid-1960s an inflection in the practice of urban planning in Brazil and consequently in the character of the projects for the Tiete river. The consolidation of circulation systems on the floodplain, the state as an authoritarian and centralizing agent and the advent of regional development plans, together with the ecological problem that became popular in the 1970s, marks this studied period. It is proposed to understand, in this context, the role of planners in the definition of metropolitan infrastructure, especially in the studied cases, and the limits and purposes of this assignment, thereby contributing to the revision of the historiography of modern Brazilian architecture, contributing for characterization of the brazilian urbanistic production post Brasília.
