Our Urban Future
Examining heat inequity in a Brazilian metropolitan region
Urban heat islands (UHIs) are one of the major global issues that need to be addressed because of the negative effects that higher temperatures can cause to people and the environment, such as health issues and higher energy consumption. Within the literature on climate justice, specifically heat inequity, there are very few studies about Global South urban areas. Our study examines the spatial relationships between heat risk, urban form composit…
Bringing economic complexity to the intra-urban scale
This study explores the formation of economic complexity within a city from the Global South, during 2011–2019. It proposes an expanded interpretation of the Economic Complexity Index (ECI) to be applied at the intra-urban context of Belo Horizonte, Brazil, focusing on three different spatial levels of analysis (i.e., local, neighbourhood, and community levels). By applying the index to these three levels, instead of regional or national administ…
The Social Dimensions of the Iron Quadrangle Region
Mining brings about positive and negative changes for the residents of regions that are heavily dependent on such economic activity. In Brazil, the so-called Iron Quadrangle fits within a complex regional arrangement that results in various conflicts of interest between different stakeholders, which complicates decision-making processes regarding mining activities. In this article, we introduce geodesign as a methodological approach that could ef…

Public Spending and Quality of Education in Brazil
We examined whether Brazil’s educational spending on public primary schools resulted in better quality of education, 2003–2009. Our hypothesis was municipalities that received higher government spending on primary education had higher student tests scores. We used a panel analysis with fixed effects, including a simulated instrumental variable to control for endogeneity. Even though the magnitude of all significant estimated coefficients increase…
Decent Work and Social Protection in Belo Horizonte, Brazil
This article examines how beneficiaries of Brazil’s Bolsa Família (BFP) conditional cash transfer program find employment in a Brazilian municipality and assesses their participation in decent work. Using Belo Horizonte as a case study, researchers conducted a survey of BFP recipients. The article compares responses of informally and formally employed workers to assess how their employment meets the criteria of the decent work agenda. Results ind…
A Framework for Urban Environmental Planning in Brazil
Brazil faces numerous environmental challenges despite having many laws and policies in place. The implementation process of such laws and policies does not exist a majority of the time, affecting the quality of environmental governance in the country. Within the urban planning context, the City Statute law enacted in 2001 included the environmental dimension of urbanization; however, the wording of this inclusion was vague and broad. For instanc…
Using Spatial Statistics to Analyze Intra‐urban Inequalities and Public Intervention in São Paulo, Brazil
Like many cities in developing countries, São Paulo, Brazil, is characterized by major intra‐urban inequalities with respect to human development. The center‐periphery spatial regimes are the most obvious spatial manifestation of this phenomenon. In this paper we apply confirmatory spatial data analysis to examine these inequalities and their relationship to public interventions. Using district‐level data, we examine the relationship between publ…
