Abstract

The city of São Paulo was built by persons from several different countries during the historical processes of coffee production, industrialization, and structuring of the Brazilian financial market. This chapter intends to review some of the journeys that led toward building São Paulo’s identity, including the dynamics of some of the main elements forming its multiracial society, the development of the city’s cosmopolitan traits, and, in more recent years, the feedback and demands from organizations and associations, besides the influence of the Fernando Haddad administration in the latest urban policies addressing diversity and migration. This chapter reviews some of these policies and assesses their impact for the beneficiaries with data analysis from interviews with migrants and refugees.
