fórum do centro (en)
On 29th of September 2010, the 7th reunion of the Forum do Centro de São Paulo took place at the Câmara Municipal in São Paulo. This forum was initiated (in additional to several other forums that already exist) by citizens that live in the center of the city in order to discuss and impact the development of this area. Several open working groups have been set up, which thematically range from garbage/solid residual treatment/management to the situation of the street population in this central area. The working groups clearly focus solely on impacting the institutional level, here in guise of the Subprefeitura Sé.
During the discussion, it was obvious that a lot of knowledge in the addressed areas is still lacking and that already existing information should be reviewed, such as a publication of Instituto Pólis about the Waste and Citizen Forum from 2007. Concerning the street population it was decided to create a mapping of all spaces around the city that serve them, in order to start to understand the (complexity of the) situation.
The reunion was not recorded completely but to a large extend. The complete recording is available, unprocessed, in original quality. Additionally, all speeches and presentations that concern the street population, which where given by the corresponding working group and persons that live on the streets or are part of the national movement (MNPR), are separately available.
All records can be found on archive.org and are dedicated to the commons.
