In June 2013 an unprecedented movement spearheaded by young people took to the streets of Brazilian cities. Despite the diversity of explanations of the protests, one thing became clear: the urban question was at the center of events. Brazil has become an international role model for its innovations in social policy and even urban policy. There have been social struggles for a democratic city. New policies, new programs, new projects, and a Ministry of Cities have been created. This democratic and participatory process has taken place in the context of fiscal adjustment and therefore contention over resources. When the federal government resumed investment in cities following a developmentalist project, capital linked to the production of space took over the leadership of the urban process and the virtuous cycle of urban policy declined. Investment in works directed by the real estate market in the context of mega-events such as the World Cup and the Olympics together with tax relief for the purchase of automobiles deepened the deterioration of urban living conditions, especially housing and mobility. Em junho de 2013 um grupo de jovens criou uma onda de protestos jamais vistos nas cidades brasileiras. Não obstante a multiplicidade de explicações para esses protestos, algo ficou claro: a questão urbana era o elemento central desses eventos. O Brasil tornou-se modelo internacional para inovações em política social e urbana. Havia uma luta social por centros urbanos democráticos. Novas políticas, novos programas, novos projetos e um Ministério das Cidades foram criados. Esse processo democrático e participatório ocorreu num contexto de ajuste fiscal e consequentemente de contenção de despesas. Quando o governo federal retomou os investimentos em cidades após um projeto desenvolvimentista, o capital atrelado à produção de espaço tomou as rédeas do processo de urbanização e o ciclo virtuoso da política urbana foi interrompido. Investimentos em projetos direcionados pelo mercado imobiliário no contexto de megaeventos como a Copa do Mundo e as Olimpíadas, bem como incentivos fiscais para a compra de automóveis, aumentaram a deterioração da qualidade de vida urbana, especialmente no que diz respeito à moradia e à mobilidade
