Card de postagem no Instagram com a notícia:

CENTRO DE SÃO PAULO
PREFEITURA DE SP APROVA
“TIMES SQUARE” DO CENTRO NO
CONPRESP E OBRAS COMEÇA
EM MARÇO

Captura de tela da postagem que acompanha o card anterior:

portalstaceciliabarrafunda Centro de São Paulo poderá ganhar "Times Square" paulistana
A Prefeitura de São Paulo deu mais um passo para a criação do chamado Boulevard São Paulo, projeto que pretende transformar o cruzamento das avenidas São João e Ipiranga em um novo polo de arte digital, cultura e publicidade iluminada no centro da cidade.
A proposta foi aprovada pelo Conselho Municipal de Preservação do Patrimônio Histórico (Conpresp) e prevê a instalação de grandes painéis de LED nas fachadas de cinco edifícios da região. Apesar de os prédios não serem tombados, a análise foi necessária por estarem próximos a construções históricas protegidas.
A ideia é criar um espaço inspirado na famosa Times Square, em Nova York, com telões luminosos exibindo conteúdos culturais, informações públicas e publicidade institucional.

Pelo projeto:
70% do tempo dos telões será destinado a conteúdos culturais e informativos
30% poderá ser usado para publicidade institucional
Investimento previsto: cerca de R$ 1,8 milhão por ano
Duração inicial: 3 anos
Além dos painéis, o projeto inclui melhorias urbanas e a restauração de patrimônios históricos importantes da região central, como a Igreja Nossa Senhora do Rosário dos Homens Pretos, o Monumento à Mãe Preta e o Relógio da Praça Antônio Prado.
As obras ainda dependem de outras aprovações, mas a prefeitura pretende iniciar a implantação nos próximos meses.
A proposta pretende valorizar o centro histórico, atrair visitantes e fortalecer a economia criativa da cidade.
Você acha que o centro de São Paulo precisa de um projeto como esse?

Really pleased to share that on Monday I passed my PhD viva 😀 Studying for my PhD has been such a privilege thanks to the support I have had from countless people. Particularly, thanks to the endless support of my supervisors, Alison Browne, @natemillington.bsky.social, and Erik Swyngedouw.

Been spending a lot of time reading Elon twitter these days and the way that concerns about downward mobility in the US have mapped on to weird manosphere arguments and anti-immigrant politics is really wild. Young men making 100k a year and choking on resentment about women and immigrants. Ugly.

Those who don't have to worry about such things may not understand the terror that sits in one's gut (even for a privileged migrant like me), knowing the state could *accidentally delete* the documentation that secures your right to be in a country. The Windrush Gen already know this all too well.

It's staggering that any country would let this happen to something it's good at. Honestly think that when we look back at this disaster - which is only in its initial stages - it'll be seen as a national scandal. There should at least be an independent investigation. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
