UPP Social no PPG: um jogo de letras (Unidade de Política Pública Social no Pavão-Pavãozinho e CantaGalo: análise de um Programa Social)

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the "UPP Social" program as to its constitution and its close relationship with the pacification process in the Pavão-Pavãozinho and Cantagalo slums in order to guarantee the accomplishment of the mega-events and to insert the city of Rio de Janeiro in the circuit of global cities. For that, the social context of emergency and implementation of the Pacifying Police Units (UPPs) in the city was analyzed, as well as the creation of the "UPP Social" program, regarding institutional objectives and administrative structure. The case study at the Pavão-Pavãozinho and Cantagalo slums complex therefore sought to understand in practice how the process of "pacification" initiated with the UPP required the existence at the rear of the UPP Social with the objective of building a safe city for the mega-events.
