Centralidades urbanas em foco: a implantação do COTEC e do IFG na cidade de Goiás

Abstract

Goiás, a city conceived to be grand and designated as a World Heritage site, is moving towards consolidation as an educational center, welcoming four major institutions of higher education, technical and vocational training. This work investigates the role of the Federal Institute of Goiás (IFG) and the Technological College of Goiás (COTEC) in changing the local urban centrality. The relocation of IFG headquarters to a residential neighborhood and the insertion of COTEC into a commercial center configure different ways of impacting the local spatial organization. The research aims to understand the flows of people, services and consumer goods generated by the presence of these institutions. Investigating economic aspects, public policies and territorial management seeks to contribute to answering the central question: do the implantation of these institutions in Goiás promote spatial justice? At a neighborhood level, urban analysis will be used to identify occupation, economic dispersal and impacts of the presence of institutions. At a regional level, we will investigate the profile and possible displacement of professionals and students to these institutions.
