Centro de Estudos da Metrópole

In February 2003, CEM and the Department of Housing and Urban Development of the São Paulo City Hall launched CD-ROM with the digital Cartographic database of the slums of the Municipality of São Paulo, which is the official registry of favelas in the Municipality. The work is the product of a technology transfer partnership between the two institutions. For more information on slums, see also the articles available in the library of this site.

Data on qualitative improvement and expansion of information on residential real estate launches in the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo, systematized by the Brazilian Heritage Company (Embraesp) in the period between 1985 and 2013. The objective is to support geostatistical, urban economy and policy research as part of a broad research project on the governance patterns that permeate the relationship between State and sectors outside the State interested in conducting urban public policies, such as the real estate sector.

This database enables the investigation about the dynamics of the commercial real estate production in Sao Paulo´s Metropolitan Region and over the past 28 years. It brings together information about how (in price, size, number of parking spaces) and where (municipality, district, geographic coordinates) the enterprises have been build.

The work done in 2016 carried out the quantification and estimation of the residents of slums (favelas) and irregular subdivisions of São Paulo from 2000 to 2010 in the Municipality of São Paulo (MSP).
