Este artigo discute alguns aspectos conceituais relativos a um fenômeno de importância crescente nas cidades contemporâneas, inclusive as brasileiras: os grandes projetos urbanos. Nesta discussão, contextualiza-os em suas origens internacionais históricas e discute-os no cenário de uma possível política urbana nacional. A despeito de reconhecer os riscos e vícios que acompanham esse tipo de intervenção física nos espaços urbanos, o artigo faz especulações sobre seus benefícios potenciais e sua importância para mudanças na cidade. As principais fontes de informação utilizadas foram prioritariamente secundárias, seja na descrição de estudos de caso, seja na discussão de tais intervenções no contexto do planejamento das cidades. Uma outra fonte de dados foi a análise específica de alguns projetos elaborados anteriormente pelos autores. As conclusões apontam para a necessidade de debater essa tipologia de intervenções urbanas, buscando formas de reduzir externalidades, de garantir transparência nos processos que geram e de inserir suas propostas numa política urbana mais ampla para a cidade.

Despite recognizing risks and recurrent problems in this kind of physical intervention in urban spaces, the article speculates on its potential benefits and its importance for changes in the cities. The main sources of information were mainly secondary, both for the case studies and for the discussion of those interventions in the context of urban planning.
