| Abstract | |
This thesis addresses the experience of integrated regional planning developed by CESP (Sao Paulo Power Company). The basic hypothesis is that from the knowledge acquired over the years and generations of professionals, who worked in the CESP and its predecessors, and with the accumulation of architectural and planning experiences, the Company has constituted a proprietary and private method of planning its hydroelectric projects. By integrated regional planning we understand the process in which a region, defined by the river basin, is planned through its multiple uses and its possibility of the complete exploitation. The main result obtained from the survey was the recovery of the construction process of the planning experience undertaken by CESP, by identifying some references - such as company towns, new towns, regional planning, the concepts of development pole and neighborhood unit, the postulates of CIAMs and the experience of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) - and the fact that this method of planning followed some established guidelines, from the very practice of planning hydroelectric projects. The acting of the two main groups of architects involved in hydropower projects in São Paulo Architecture and Urbanism Division of CESP and PLANEMAK represented the architectural component in the development of Brazilian technology in the construction of hydroelectric plants sector. Illustrating the applications of the planning method developed by CESP, we analyzed three case studies: Jupiá, 1961, and the residential village of Ilha Solteira, 1967, with the participation of PLANEMAK, and the residential village of Porto Primavera, in the beginning at 1980s, by the Architecture and Urbanism Division of the CESP. The trajectory of the CESP in the field of urban and regional planning was the result of the growing commitment of the State in joint an intervention in the area of energy production with a broader action to reorganize the territory with a view to boost the development and deploy residential nuclei consistent with postulates of modern urbanism.
