| Abstract | |
The subject of the following thesis is a high capacity passenger transit network for the Metropolitan Area of São Paulo - its metropolitan trains and subway system. Through the examination of recent policies and plans (1995 to 2012) we identified the planning concepts and methods that ruled the conceiving of the several versions of this network and interpreted it in the scale of the historical process of reproduction in the Brazilian society, that is, the hindered accumulation. Simultaneously we studied selected technical aspects of the high capacity urban transit systems, to reveal its distinctive features and the main criteria for selecting one or the other. By the end, in order to summarize the studied technical concepts and parameters, we presented one design proposal of a high capacity transit network for the Metropolitan Area of São Paulo, that relates to a context of urban planning, different than the current one, in which the transit networks and general urban infrastructure fully take its role in organizing and qualifying social space.
