Despite an increasing interest in urban food supply and the flows of food from production to consumption, there is a lack of empirical studies and methodologies which systematically analyse the actual proportion and nutritional significance of local and regional food supplied to urban markets.

Transformações da área-alvo da Operação Urbana Vila Leopoldina-Jaguaré pelo mercado imobiliário: a verticalização residencial como motor de desenvolvimento urbano
Na cidade contemporânea, o ambiente construído vem se modificando, observandose a presença de áreas em transformação de uso e esvaziamento.

Since these areas are variously cha- racterized, the negotiation process may not be fair to Municipality or convenient to land owners.

Multi-agent modeling for water policy impact assessment: a road map
Water policies have a great impact upon different types of resources (water, land and soil resources; infrastructure and facilities; financial resources; environmental knowledge and information; etc.). They involve many individual or collective actors (users, managers, public or private companies, associations, etc.) as well as rules and norms of behavior that these actors are the recipients or agents. Complex systems, if any, these policies have several kinds of effects, expected and unexpected, direct and indirect effects, societal, economic, environmental and eco-systemic.
