Resumo: In spite of the wealth generation potential of the world’s large metropolitan cities, poor living conditions for much of the world’s urban population persist. Although the city has been widely studied, urban policy often remains ineffective. The paper adopts a policy process approach to analyze the relationship between knowledge and governmental action. Impediments to improving urban policy are found in the inadequate capacity of government to act and in the politics of democratic decision-making. The paper recommends that a pragmatic view of knowledge generation be adopted.

Embora as cidades sejam muito estudadas, a política urbana é, aparentemente, ineficaz. Este trabalho assume uma abordagem da política pública na análise da relação entre conhecimento e ação governamental. As barreiras à melhoria da política urbana estão associadas com a incapacidade dos governos de atuar e com a política envolvida na tomada de decisões em regimes democráticos. O artigo recomenda que uma visão pragmática da geração do conhecimento deva ser utilizada.RAE - Revista de Administracao de Empresas RAE - Revista de Administração de EmpresasRAE-Revista de Administração de Empresas2000-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rae/article/view/37677RAE - Revista de Administracao de Empresas ; Vol. 40 No. 1 (2000): janeiro-março; 47-55RAE - Revista de Administração de Empresas; Vol. 40 Núm. 1 (2000): janeiro-março; 47-55RAE-Revista de Administração de Empresas; v. 40 n. 1 (2000): janeiro-março; 47-552178-938X0034-7590reponame:Revista de Administração de Empresasinstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rae/article/view/37677/36426Wilson, Robert H.info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2016-08-17T18:54:22Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/37677Revistahttps://rae.fgv.br/raeONGhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.phprae@fgv.br||ilda.fontes@fgv.br||raeredacao@fgv.br2178-938X0034-7590opendoar:2024-03-06T13:03:21.774229Revista de Administração de Empresas - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true
