Centro de Estudos da Metrópole (CEM) - 98/14342-9

Its central proposal is to investigate the reproduction mechanisms of social inequality in metropolitan environments. It is not the case of merely producing the mapping of these inequalities, but of carrying through an analytical effort in order to understand in depth the dynamics producing and reproducing them, so as to ascertain policies aimed at overcoming them. Researches taken to effect in the first years of the CEM revealed a paradox: even with a negative scenario in the economy and the labor market, an improvement has been observed in several social indicators concerning health, education, housing, and the ownership of durable goods, even in the more vulnerable metropolitan areas.
