DESCRIPTION

This is a presentation on aspects of cultural policies for the city of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Sap Paulo is divided about its cultural policies. Should it invest in high culture (Western culture) which is a legitimate heritage of European migration or the culture of its oppressed citizens who live in its endless peripheries, which lack public spaces and services. In fact, it does BOTH, at different times and in different places, with mixed results. Downtown Sao Paulo (the old core) is a "battlefield" for two different concepts on cultural policies and urban regeneration. But perhaps there is space for more than one view.

A colonial city

Rua Direita. Central Core circa 1860.

1850:The Coffee Revolution

Sao Paulo Railway Station (1892) is built with English capitals.

1880: Pop 31.000

The great coffee plantations commercialise their products in the city. The coffee economy produces the development of urban activities, because it demands a complex organisation of financing, transport, commerce and export.

European Immigration

Workers at Textile Factory around 1910. The factory belonged to Matarazzo family

The Black population is small in the city. Freed slaves establish in peripheral areas (later districts of the city)

Slavery abolished, it was necessary to have paid labour force. European and Japanese immigrants come to the city en masse.

After WW II: New Urban Paradigm

The adoption of more and more buses instead of tramways allows the sprawling of the city to distant peripheries.

Newly arrived migrants establish themselves in those peripheries.

Migration from old colonised areas in the North-East of Brazil

Curiously, there are not many images of Nordeste immigrants taken at that time. These are artistic representations of immigration. Left: Immigrant family by Candido Portinari.
