Climate Adaptation: Accounts of Resilience, Self-Sufficiency and Systems Change, 2021

Brazil has thousands of small experiences that are highlights for a sustainable future. Exploring such alternative strategies to reduce social vulnerabilities, this chapter discusses what we call the social innovation of the ‘crossroads’ of Brazil. For the poor, they are ‘inventions birthed at the limits and in the gaps that were left over’ (Rufino, 2019, p.1), a form of transgression/contestation of the established institutions. They are developed by a Brazilian style of social entrepreneur – the virador – whose transgression can be seen through their new ways of doing, knowing, framing, and organising. The two researchers have investigated Brazilian favelas and peripheries for more than 15 years through a laboratory of Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and offer three cases as illustrative examples to be explored: G10, a network of favelas for developing businesses and combating COVID-19; Cocôzap, a georeferenced mapping of basic sanitation in the Maré favela complex; and ASPLANDE, an NGO for the articulation, training, and exchange of experiences among women entrepreneurs from the favelas and peripheries. Based on these, we identified seven lessons learned concerning the key characteristics of this type of social innovation. As a conclusion, we suggest that the social innovations of the crossroads of Brazil should be seen as turning points for social change, paving the way for alternative socio-economic models for the future, which in turn can inspire civil society, NGOs, and the private sector, and inform public policies in Brazil and other communities of the Global South.

Based on the analysis of official documents and 18 months of observation and application of semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders, this paper first presents the urban development history of this area, and then discusses it in light of two emergent themes associated with issues of power in informality, namely state power and market forces. Casting a critical eye towards the idea of informality as something that should be "fixed" by urban development practices, this work discusses the sharp influence of state power and market forces in the production of informality in Kuala Lumpur and, consequently, in other global south cities.

Este trabajo de investigación discute lo que se conoce como encrucijadas sociales de innovación (Rufino 2019), que son intervenciones hechas en las roturas del sistema y que funcionan como una forma de transgresión/impugnación de las instituciones ya establecidas. Son desarrolladas por un emprendedor social “a la brasileña” —o virador (Souza Neto 2003)— cuya impugnación puede ser vista a partir de sus nuevas formas de hacer, conocer, encuadrar y organizar (Haxeltine et al. 2016), presentadas en 3 casos: Barkus, negocio social de educación financiera para jóvenes y adultos; G10, red de las 10 chabolas de mayor poder de compra en el Brasil, y Olabi, espacio de democratización de tecnologías para transformación social.

Framed by such critical element and embedded in a social constructivism approach it investigates a historical inhabited urban area under the pressure of development located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur: Kampong Bharu. Making use of secondary data review, preliminary field visit, ten semi-structured interviews and observation from June 2012 to June 2015, this study first presents the urban development history of Kampong Bharu. Following that, it then discusses Kampong Bharu development in light of two emergent themes identified throughout the findings of this research, namely the modernist urban practices and single accounts of history. Highlighting how the understanding of informality is historically shaped by the same planning interventions that were supposed to 'fix it', this study explores the implication of those two emergent themes on the very production of global south cities' urban crisis, broadening the understanding of challenges and opportunities for development in Kuala Lumpur.
