The current economic and financial crisis seemed to us to be a fundamental pretext for discussing the costs of the city and of life in the city, as well as the best way to share them among all. When the watchwords are to rationalize benefits, make efficient management decisions and reduce costs, it is important to know, first of all, which tasks each level of Administration will be responsible for and which instruments it can have for the respective financing. We know that the costs of building the city have been moving for a long time on private land, under regimes that define land use under a conception of the social function of property and with their own instruments to guarantee equality in the face of public burdens, in addition to the rules of urban management and urbanization and building, which they leave much of the construction of the city in charge of the private sector. It is in this context that it is urgent to discuss not only the legal nature of special contributions, compensation and rates for the realization, reinforcement and maintenance of urban infrastructure, but also the need to promote a rational and sustainable management of the city based on municipal programming. private activities.
