Abstract

This text analyzes the revision process of the São Luis, Maranhão Master Plan, which, approved in 2006 with the support of popular movements, is now at a time of social demobilization to express private capital interests in alliance with the state and
municipal public authorities. Aiming to expand the international insertion of Maranhão, the proposal expands the urban perimeter as a strategy for millionaire businesses in a context of public fiscal crisis, threatening traditional rural communities
and environmental resources under state and federal protection. After analyzing the process in the City Council and in Public Hearings, the text exposes the history of the master plan in São Luis, responsible for unequal urban structure of the city and notes the socio-environmental consequences of the current proposal, far beyond the control of outdated technical capacity and critical financial situation of municipal management.
