It is built from two conceptual pillars: the first is the sociological notion of Richard Sennet of the Public Role and the equilibrium between the public and private realm. The work of Oliver Mongin is used to describe how the rupture of this equilibrium caused fractions in the shape of the contemporary city and ultimately in the appropriation of the public spaces. The second pillar is the discussion around the 5 characteristics of spaces that foster the interaction of people: the meaning, the diversity, the context and the physical characteristics. The proposed historic review shows how the appropriation of the Public Spaces has changed according to historical context and highlights the most significant events which helped shape the daily fruition of the city by its dwellers. The city of the 21st Century is discussed in the last part, where forces that seem to be impacting the use of the public space in São Paulo are debated: the new Master Plan, movements from the Society and the daily use of places that seem to depict a strong desire to recapture the original meaning of the public realm. / Esse trabalho trata da apropriação do espaço público na história de São Paulo. Ele se utiliza de dois pilares conceituais: o primeiro é a discussão sociológica com base na obras de Richard Sennet e Olivier Mongin sobre a importância dos papéis públicos para a constituição da identidade do homem urbano e a ruptura do equilíbrio entre as esferas pública e privada na cidade contemporânea. O segundo é a conceituação das características do espaço que induzem a fruição: o significado, a diversidade, a inserção na cidade e os próprios aspectos físicos. A periodização proposta parte da historiografia escolhida para destacar os eventos históricos da cidade que transformaram a maneira com que a sociedade paulistana se apropriou dos espaços públicos. O percurso histórico acompanha as mudanças na apropriação do espaço, tanto no uso cotidiano, como nos grandes eventos simbólicos, desde o momento em que a comunidade se transforma em cidade, passando por movimentos de crescimento, fragmentação, periurbanização segregação, até chegar ao final do século XX. A cidade do século XXI é discutida no último período, à luz do ordenamento institucional proposto pelo novo plano diretor, dos movimentos da sociedade civil, como as marchas de junho de 2013 e, finalmente, da ressignificação, vivenciada na prática, de alguns locais emblemáticos.

Many researchers argue the increasing reliance on sit/lie ordinances to regulate homeless people's use of public space is one in a suite of neoliberal policies that shape the geographies of public space in cities to serve the needs of global capital. However, these policies are developed at the local, not global, level as specific actors make claims in the public sphere that communicatively shape policy formation. Through comparative case study, this research asks, how do different actors, situated in specific local and global contexts, influence the adoption of sit/lie ordinances? I examine two cases of policymaking in Portland and San Francisco. I use discourse analytic strategies and thematic coding of newspapers, archival documents, and key informant interviews to look at policy-making processes as they occur in their political, social, and economic contexts. I focus especially on the role of language in policy-making, policy-making arenas, and actions of grassroots actors, drawing from three interdisciplinary literatures to develop an explanatory theory of policy-making. I find the four interrelated explanatory factors in policy-making were: the actors (neoliberal and right-to-the-city); the tactics they use; the policy talk they use; and the policy arenas. First, political processes provide windows of opportunity and determine arenas for political activities. The different policy arenas (citizen election, committee, council led, litigation, etc.) influence the audience that the actors care about, and thus the policy talk. Additionally, elected officials have a determining effect on which arenas they use, which in turns structures the opportunities for policy talk. Second, the arena influences the depth to which resisters can discuss the issues with the wider public and decision-makers. This may explain why the right-to-the-city frame may not have been used as much as the academic literature might suggest. Resisters find it much harder to use this framing with the general public or elected officials because it takes too much time to explain to those unfamiliar. Instead, they rely more on concepts that may be more familiar like the dependent poor and unequal impact of the law on minority groups. Third, I find local actors have different positions in the global economy, however on the local level their different avenues and strategies of involvement are due to local conditions rather than global ones. The location in the global political economy seems to be less important than local political decision making contexts and the actions of individuals who are locally powerful due to their economic status and political connections. This suggests room for resisters to use local politics to resist these ordinances, without having to take on the entire global economy. Finally, actors use different narratives to influence decision makers and each other, responding and shifting to competing frames over time. The change over time is important, as it shows how policy debates change based on influences from different actors. My findings suggest the framing of the original necessity for the policy can influence the policy trajectory, but actors can and do respond and successfully shift policy talks over time. The dissertation concludes with additional implications for grassroots practice based on these theoretical findings.
