Improving Metropolitan Governance: A Case Study of the Greater São Paulo
Resumo
One of the biggest challenges for public managers today is to develop metropolitan governance. The Brazilian federative background makes this mission even more complex. It still lacks a well-delimited and structured legal framework to organize the federative system. The São Paulo county administration is trying to assume a leading role and develop tools to build up a new metropolitan region concept consisting in different counties working together under a meaningful cooperation. This paper explores the difficulties to develop institutional metropolitan arrangements and focuses on two main goals. Firstly, it intends to get an overview of the management abilities in all counties of the São Paulo Metropolitan Area. Secondly, taking into account arenas of cooperation such as metropolitan boards, technical chambers and consortiums, it suggests some paths and initiatives to reinforce the metropolitan governance and to build an intra-governmental agenda.
