Indicadores de desigualdade para financiamento urbano de cidades saudáveis

Abstract

In this article we analyze the conditions of social and health vulnerability, residential segregation in the city of Sao Paulo and the potential use of scientific measures for instrumentas of urban financing as a public policy promoting social and territorial inclusion. The research investigates four complementary problems, with inter-and multi-disciplinary approaches, when analyzing: (i) the evidence that links health conditions and socio-spatial vulnerability in the territory; (ii) the main indicators of residential segregation and socio-spatial inequalities; (iii) the main land-based tools and funding instruments with the greatest potential to finance the mitigation of social and health inequalities in the use of territory. By pointing out the lack of use of empirical evidence, of indicators based on scientific research, and of the application of urban financing instruments identified as promoters of inequality mitigation, this article discusses how to improve the instrument, based on spatialized indicators of social vulnerability and urban health, placing it as a powerful tool for integrated and territorialized multisectoral public policy.
