Summary: This study analyzes Agenda 21 as a model of city organization that, proposed by
the State, plays a role in facilitating the interests of dominant agents in the
municipalities of Vitória, Vila Velha, Serra, Cariacica and Viana, located in the
Metropolitan Region of Grande Vitória (RMGV), Espírito Santo. We assume that
Agenda 21 is a document produced by a branch of the state`s strategic planning
that expresses the interests of those who led its preparation. In this work, we
identified Agenda 21 as a heterotopia (FOUCAULT, 2013), whose action proved
to be ineffective in proposing a fairer city, as recommended by the guidelines of
the global and Brazilian Agenda 21. We believe that this planning model
enunciates a discourse, whose exposure is made from a codification, which, in
turn, establishes a connection with the myth, by presenting a worldview that
attracts people`s adhesion. Therefore, we ask why, despite the elaboration of this
document in the studied cities, proposing a city accessible to all, it is possible to
observe an aggravation of problems in the cities studied, at the same time that
there was an increase in the performance of economic agents in these places.
We work with the hypothesis that this expansion in the studied municipalities is
linked to the construction of a discourse that operates through symbolic
mechanisms, aiming to create an idealized city that is present in Agenda 21, but
that differs from the real city, obliterating the inequalities and consolidating the
hegemonic project of some agents. At the conclusion level, we hope to identify
within the Agenda 21 narrative which are the codes used for this purpose, how
the image of the cities studied was produced, which are the most prominent areas
and who are the agents who led this process and presented a reality built on the
symbolic level, in order to capture the population`s adhesion and legitimize their
interests.
