JORGE FRANCISCONI

Jorge Guilherme Francisconi’s website presents the work and professional background of an architect and urban and regional planning specialist. A graduate of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul’s School of Architecture, he earned a Master in Regional Planning and a PhD in Social Sciences from Syracuse University, focusing on urban economics, regional planning, and metropolitan areas. His professional practice has explored the relationship between urban theory and practical planning.

The site serves as a resource for readers interested in urban development, housing, transport, land use, demography, metropolitan regions, and Brasília. It features articles, historical documents, shared texts, commentary, and materials on urban policy and planning. A notable collection makes previously unpublished sector studies related to Brazil’s 1970s National Urban Development Policy available to the public, covering topics such as economics, transport, geography, and metropolitan governance. Visitors can also explore writing on Brasília, planning legislation, master plans, and the evolution of urban planning in Brazil.
