Advances and challenges in developing public policies for peripheral territories

Nabil Bonduki, Flavio Tavares, Ediane Maria, Joelma Dias and Uvanderson Silva

The panel proposes a reflection on how public policies can recognize and strengthen these experiences, overcoming the racist view that sees favelas and communities merely as "problems to be fixed."

The discussion will bring together community leaders, parliamentarians, and institutional representatives to highlight concrete experiences of tackling the climate crisis from the peripheries—actions that combine inclusion, institutional innovation, and community leadership.

The panel will also seek to expand the dialogue on the role of the State in guaranteeing the right to safe housing, access to public services, and ensuring the protagonism of local agents in decision-making regarding the territory.

NOTE OF CONDOLENCE

With deep sorrow, the Brazilian Institute of Architects – São Paulo Department (IABsp) mourns the passing of architect and landscape architect Kongjian Yu, a global leader in ecological urbanism, and the members of his team who accompanied him, tragically killed during the filming of a documentary. The institute is honored to have had him as a participant in the 14th São Paulo International Architecture Biennial, where his transformative vision strengthened the dialogue between global challenges and local realities. IABsp emphasizes that Yu's contribution, which transcends borders, will remain an inspiration for generations and expresses its condolences to China, to the families of all the deceased, to his friends, and to all those impacted by his genius and dedication.
