Megacities, Health and Inequalities

The chapter proposes a number of reflections developed in the two years of the pandemic, starting from the centrality of public space and its indispensable quantitative/qualitative value, especially in complex megacities such as Sao Paulo. The urban dynamics exacerbated by the recent health crisis have deep roots and put the emphasis -also- on issues of rights and inequalities, nourishing a necessarily trans-disciplinary debate in order to be able to produce “enabling” spaces that promote a broad concept of health, in a preventive perspective.
