portuguêsAbstract
As climate change intensifies the frequency and severity of extreme events, the revitalization of urban rivers and the creation of green and blue infrastructure through Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) emerge as a significant opportunity for city adaptation and the construction of more sustainable, resilient, and livable cities for future generations. The rapid urbanization process of the São Paulo Metropolitan Region has resulted in the degradation of its watercourses and the distancing of the population from the water element, which reflected in the current state of its main rivers. The emergence of the "Tietê Program" in the 1990s represents a milestone in the beginning of concern for the recovery of the Tietê River and the movement to achieve this purpose, culminating in various other actions such as the "Novo Pinheiros Program", the subject of the present article. This study aimed to analyze the "Novo Pinheiros Program", an initiative of the Government of the State of São Paulo to recover and revitalize the Pinheiros River. For this purpose, a qualitative analysis of the actions carried out by the program was conducted, as well as an assessment matrix of the actions and their effectiveness in the purpose of recovering and revitalizing the Pinheiros River. Additionally, a comparative analysis of the program's actions with 10 other similar programs was conducted. Thus, the study provides an answer to the central question: "Are we progressing towards the revitalization of Brazilian urban rivers?".
