| Abstract | |
The study analyses the territorial and urban policies of São Paulo State Government with the focus on Secretary of State of Agriculture, Commerce and Public Works between 1892, when it was created, and 1926, when it was divided in two new Secretaries of State: Agriculture, Industry and Commerce and Transportation and Public Works. During this period, this Secretary developed several public policies, mainly toward agricultural industry, public transportation, public lands and settlement, immigration and labor, public works and sanitation. The organization of a centralized, hierarchical political body, articulated to the federal project carried by the First Republic as well as the introduction of scientific knowledge into consideration of the territorial and urban questions, indicate the presence of a Modern Regional and Urban Planning, before the presence of professional Urban Planners. On the other hand, the study of plans, projects, and proposals of sanitation networks all considered as the roots by the of Modern Urbanism in Brazil by the bibliography - allows us to understand territorial strategies of São Paulo Government, either to stimulate agricultural activities or to promote capital reproduction in the cities. In order to develop economy, the Secretary of State of Agriculture defined the priorities in its actions and treated differently each one of the localities in the field of sanitation. While São Paulo Capital and Santos soon had priority to receive drainage, water supply and sewage networks, a little more than the half of the other municipalities only had sewage installed in 1926. The significant urbanization activity in the city of São Paulo, characterized by overflowing and sprawling, guided the urbanistic practice in the period. The Secretary drove its efforts in extending the networks of sewage and water supply in order to follow this accelerated urban growth. (AU) | |
