O presente artigo é um balanço da produção pioneira de intelectuais marxistas que, na década de 1970, procuraram entender os paradoxos do crescimento de São Paulo e, mais amplamente, ensaiaram as primeiras formulações de uma teoria crítica da urbanização na periferia do capitalismo.

Mas a descoberta empírica da cidade permitiu que o urbano fosse, ao fim, reconhecido não apenas como lócus mas como forma da expansão capitalista.

The failure of pat solutions, based on a highly centralized decision making process of channeling budgetary resources and forced savings to state and local governments, led to a situation in which financial difficulties became one of the main reasons of the deteriorating urban infrastructure and urban services in most of the major Brazilian cities. Against this background the paper argues for a revision of the way and means of urban development financing, based on recommendations of pooling available resources, implementing professional management and moving towards better intergovernmental coordination of urban policies.
