THE

GOLDILOCKS ZONE FOR ENHANCING URBAN RESILIENCE TERESINA’S STRATEGY TO WIN THE RACE AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE

GOLDILOCKS ZONE The term “Goldilocks Zone� refers to the habitable zone around a star where the conditions are just right for liquid water to exist on the surface of a planet.

GOLDILOCKS ZONE... FOR ENHANCING URBAN RESILIENCE!

PUBLIC SECTOR GOLDILOCKS ZONE Local governments that are neither too big nor too small are in this zone as they have enough complexity to create a fertile ground for innovative solutions to ourish without being excessively hierarchical and bureaucratic.

PUBLIC SECTOR GOLDILOCKS ZONE Local governments that are not too big and not too small: >> Population between 50.000 and one million people; >> Intermediary cities (i-cities) need to become more prominent in the New Urban Agenda and its implementation (UCLG).

I’m from TERESINA, Piauí, Brazil State Capital of Piauí, in the semi-arid Northeast 2nd poorest state of Brazil Extreme poverty in the country grows and reaches 13.2 million Brazilians. The highest rates for every 100 thousand inhabitants are in Piauí (14.087 in January, 2020).

Geographically, I let our anthem introduce us

“Teresina...

...shines under the Equator Sun�

Indeed... maybe too much!

Unfortunately, our city is getting hotter at a rate twice higher than the global average.

In 1987 Teresina had 260 days above 32ยบC.

By the time I am 80, models show that almost all days of the year will be very hot!

On top of all that…

… add an accelerated urban growth with deficient infrastructure, extensive land consumption with low-density urbanisation patterns and a high motorization rate.

XX century challenges

infrastructure housing gender pay gap

XXI century challenges

climate change future of work data privacy

> Public infrastructure and social housing unable to meet the demands of growing cities

Teresina, 2019

> Administration’s reduced technical capacities

> Lack of standardized information to anticipate future demands

Municipal Department of Transit and Transport, 2018

> Relative geographical isolation

What makes us a goldilocks zone to overcome these challenges?

Teresina is not too big!

Teresina is not too big! > Civil servants and elected representatives’ are closer to population; > Procedures are not bureaucratic and hierarchical enough to hinder innovation; > Environmental degradation is still reversible.
