The right to the city: tactics of coexistence

Abstract

Addressing the issue of the contemporary city, its complexities and frequent material and social disputes, requires an understanding of it as a city in movement, constantly changing. Therefore, this text presents the reflections that supported the development of a undergraduate research, as well as the project experiments presented as temporary installations proposed for areas in the public space of Luz neighborhood, in São Paulo. Aimed at diverse uses, focusing on the microscale interventions and in the practices of occupation of space, through the possibilities of ephemeral architecture and tactical urbanism. Whereas these initiatives open the opportunity for a closer approach to the urban environment, allowing the participation of the population, it is safe to say that such participatory practices enable a new way of thinking the city, promoting the integaration of the society with the construction of its public space and instigating urban life.
