Resumo
Os rios Tietê, Pinheiros e Tamanduateí foram de grande importância para o
estabelecimento e crescimento da cidade de São Paulo, entretanto, com o desenvolvimento urbano desenfreado atrelado à aceleração econômica, o espaço
urbano passa por grandes transformações, edifícios e avenidas tomam conta do ambiente, o adensamento populacional se acelera e os rios, destino dos resíduos da vida urbana, perdem seu espaço, suas características físicas, químicas e biológicas. Essa condição, no entanto, não é uma exclusividade da cidade de São Paulo, muito pelo contrário, a poluição e degradação ambiental tem caminhado lado a lado com o desenvolvimento das sociedades, de suas atividades econômicas e da configuração do espaço urbano. Sendo assim, toma-se como referência a cidade de Londres, epicentro da Revolução Industrial, onde a urbanização foi acompanhada da degradação do rio mais importante da Inglaterra, o Rio Tâmisa. O presente trabalho buscou analisar o processo de recuperação e reintegração do Rio Tâmisa na cidade de Londres com o objetivo de embasar a análise e avaliação das já existentes estratégias de despoluição dos rios paulistas, Tietê e Pinheiros, bem como avaliar concretamente os possíveis benefícios de um processo de reintegração dos mesmos ao ambiente urbano da Região Metropolitana de São Paulo. Para isso, a metodologia de análise baseia-se nos processos históricos que levaram à poluição dos rios citados e das iniciativas tomadas para recuperar essas águas nas duas metrópoles. De maneira geral, conforme esperado, foi possível elencar uma série de benefícios ambientais e socioeconômicos, além de elencar as dificuldades enfrentadas durante o processo.
The São Paulo rivers had a great importance for the establishment and growth of the city of São Paulo, however, with the unrestrained urban development and the economic acceleration, the urban space goes through great transformations buildings and avenues take over the space the population growth is accelerated and the rivers which were the destination of the waste of urban life lose their space and their physical, chemical and biological characteristics. This condition, however, is not exclusive to the city of São Paulo, on the contrary, pollution and environmental degradation has been going along the development of societies, their economic activities and the configuration of the urban space. Thus, take London for example, the epicenter of the Industrial Revolution, where urbanization was accompanied by the degradation of England's most important river, the Thames River. This work intend to analyze the process of recovery and reintegration of the Thames in the city of London with the objective of supporting the analysis and evaluation of the existing strategies for depollution of the São Paulo rivers, Tietê and Pinheiros, as well as concretely evaluating the possible benefits of a process of reintegrating them into the urban environment of the São Paulo Metropolitan Region. For this, the analysis methodology is based on the historical processes that led to the pollution of the mentioned rivers and the initiatives taken to recover these waters in the two metropolises. In general, as expected, it was possible to list a series of environmental and socioeconomic benefits, in addition to listing the difficulties faced during the process.
