Metropolitan Regions and Public Consortia: discussions on cooperative federalism from the perspective of the Brazilian urban space

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This article examines the importance of metropolitan regions and public consortia within the context of cooperative federalism in Brazil. The main objective is to analyze how intergovernmental partnerships can address the challenges of urban management. The study focuses on the transition from an authoritarian to a democratic model and how this has impacted metropolitan policy, as well as exploring public consortia as mechanisms for the shared management of public services. The research follows a hypothetical-deductive approach, using a literature review to investigate the relationships between geographical space, regional economy, and Brazilian legal framework. The conclusion suggests that public entity associations can optimize resource allocation and enhance public service management in metropolitan areas.
