The automaker has been working with the Brazilian government suppliers and labor unions "to create a business plan that’s going to weather these economic circumstances better," GM CFO Dhivya Suryadevara said after the automaker reported its 2018 earnings GM said Tuesday its investment in the two Brazilian plants reaffirms the company's commitment to the region "We will continue to work with all stakeholders to address the competitive issues affecting GM business and the automotive industry in Brazil taxes and high cost of capital," Flores said in an emailed statement. "We need to face these issues to build a competitive manufacturing basis in Brazil and the region to be able to have a sustainable business." the Detroit automaker sold its European operations While it’s under pressure at home for stopping production at four plants and cutting thousands of jobs General Motors has just announced it would invest 10 billion reais ($2.65 billion) in Brazil over the next five years The investment will be divided equally between two of GM’s Brazilian plants located in the state of Sao Paulo The facilities in Sao Caetano do Sul and Sao Jose dos Campos employ 15,000 people all of which will get to keep their jobs as part of the investment plan That’s not all: an additional 400 jobs will be created GM reportedly contemplated shutting down the two plants a move that would have cost 65,000 jobs when its suppliers are taken into account “When we embarked on this path last December, we had a really serious problem, which was the future of our factories in Sao Paulo,” GM’s CEO for South America, Carlos Zarlenga, was quoted as saying by Reuters at a news conference hosted by Sao Paulo State Governor Joao Doria The executive added that he initially doubted GM would find any way to keep the factories open but the reasons behind its change of heart haven’t been officially announced No details regarding production plans have been disclosed either the state of Sao Paulo recently launched an incentive program promising to reduce VAT by up to 25 percent for automakers investing at least 1 billion reais (about $262 million) and generating at least 400 jobs which actually seems tailor-made for it because the Sao Paulo government set a ceiling of 10 billion reais — precisely the amount GM pledged to invest in the state The Sao Caetano do Sul plant is GM’s first plant in Brazil, having opened in 1930. It currently builds five Chevrolet models: the Cobalt sedan, Montana small pickup, Cruze sedan, Cruze hatchback, and Spin MPV. Rumor has it the plant will build a new compact unibody pickup as a replacement for the Montana The Sao Jose dos Campos facility opened in 1958 and currently builds the Chevrolet S10 pickup (aka the previous-generation Colorado) and the closely related Trailblazer SUV Reports say the investment allocated to this plant will go toward production of a new S10 and a new SUV In light of this recent announcement, we’d be willing to bet U.S. President Donald Trump will be bashing GM in five Katie Ledecky earned the top honors tonight as the US Olympic Committee’s Female Athlete of the Olympic

legislation and real estate market dynamics are driving the construction of taller buildings Léo Ramos Chaves / Revista Pesquisa FAPESP Brazilians are increasingly opting for apartment living a trend highlighted by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics’ (IBGE) latest Demographic Census for 2000–2022 has been driven by different factors in different cities In metropoles like São Paulo and Porto Alegre urban planners and architects observe a trend of relaxed zoning regulations bending to the dynamics of the real estate market where building-height restrictions have remained largely unchanged since the 1970s IBGE defines apartments as dwellings within multi-story buildings featuring common grounds and amenities Despite Brazil being predominantly a nation of house owners with 84.8% of Brazilians residing in houses the latest Census revealed a notable increase in apartment dwellers rising from 7.6% (in 2000) to 12.5% (in 2022) the three top-ranking cities in this shift aren’t the bustling metropolises: Santos (SP) and São Caetano do Sul (SP) have over half their residents living in apartments attributes Santos’s high-rise growth to its insular geography with most of the island-city’s real estate already developed “This has led to a natural expansion upwards,” he suggests “Pristine coastal areas are prime for vertical development to attract homebuyers looking for beachside properties The city’s coastline is an extreme case of high-rise development,” he says the city’s 290-meter skyscraper overlooking Atlântica Avenue holds the record for Brazil’s tallest building was developed primarily through high-rise construction partly driven by its proximity to São Paulo João Fernando Pires Meyer from the School of Architecture and Urban Planning notes that while urban verticalization is a nationwide trend it is more pronounced in the South and Southeast “About 70% of the country’s high-rises are concentrated in just 66 cities,” Meyer says zoning regulations have been relaxed to accommodate real-estate market interestsdiegograndi / Getty Images São Paulo and its surrounding cities—including Guarulhos and Campinas—account for half of Brazil’s apartment buildings São Paulo alone saw over 60,000 new high-rise homes developed annually “The region’s verticalization stems from São Paulo’s urban density as available land for traditional housing is in short supply So the only room for city expansion is upward and outward to neighboring cities,” says Meyer the high-rise trend has been growing since 2010,” says Angelo Salvador Filardo a professor of architecture and urban planning at FAU-USP who has led a research group on high-rise development and urban densification in Brazilian cities since 2017 This expansion of major cities or metropolises to a point where they are fused with neighboring cities is termed “conurbation” by researchers in the field Other examples of conurbation include the regions of Vitória and Vila Velha in Espírito Santo; Natal and Parnamirim in Rio Grande do Norte; and Curitiba and São José dos Pinhais in Paraná an architecture and urban planning professor at FAU-USP the IBGE upgraded three new Brazilian cities to metropolises: Florianópolis is a large city that exerts influence over the surrounding urban space Alexandre Affonso / Revista Pesquisa FAPESP“The early spread of high-rise development in Brazil correlates with a period of increased industrialization and urbanization in the 1970s when urban populations surpassed rural ones,” explains architect and urban planner Manoel Lemes da Silva Neto from the Catholic University of Campinas (PUC-Campinas) compared to the 84.36% reported in 2010 by the IBGE Another factor driving high-rise development in the 1970s was technological advancements in the construction industry “Elevator capacity and building systems improved enabling the construction of progressively taller buildings,” notes Luciana Nicolau Ferrara a professor of architecture and urban planning at the Federal University of ABC (UFABC) Ferrara completed a FAPESP-funded research project that explored the interface between the São Paulo real estate market and environmental concerns and the financial interests of major construction firms and developers have all played a role in the current high-rise trend a sociologist at the Institute of Architecture and Urban Planning (IAU) at USP in São Carlos São Paulo’s real estate market dynamics were primarily driven by individual property transactions for residential use many developments are designed to attract investors seeking real-estate assets,” explains Rizek who has researched the development of Brazilian cities and low-income housing programs “The current vertical urbanization process in São Paulo is creating what we term a ‘hollow city,’” suggests Silva Neto of PUC-Campinas referring to a concept coined by Anderson Kazuo Nakano a professor of architecture and urban planning at the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP) Nakano uses this metaphor to describe how many new buildings are sparsely occupied São Paulo had 290,000 vacant houses or flats in 2010 Léo Ramos Chaves / Revista Pesquisa FAPESPVerticalization in São Paulo has primarily taken the form of mid-range and high-end buildings in neighborhoods with subway stationsLéo Ramos Chaves / Revista Pesquisa FAPESP Vertical growth has different drivers and comes in different forms from one city to another São Paulo has the highest number of apartments in Brazil at 1.4 million units; approximately 29.4% of its population now lives in apartment buildings The municipal government developed its first Master Plan in 1971 followed by successive revisions over the decades The changes enacted in its 2014 edition were widely hailed as a step in the right direction by the city’s leading urban planners and architects dense cities operate more efficiently and sustainably,” says Meyer of USP “Dense urban arrangements reduce the need for travel and while also mitigating pollution and energy costs.” The 2014 Master Plan (Law No 16,050) introduced guidelines to encourage greater concentrations of residents along mass-transit corridors and expanded height limits for buildings in these zones Apartments within this concept have an average 80 square-meter (m²) footprint and come with only one parking space “The goal is to develop housing that caters to different social profiles along a backbone axis—an area furnished with good infrastructure and mass transit,” notes Manoel Rodrigues Alves an urban planner and architect at IAU-USP in São Carlos the primary objectives of the 2014 Master Plan have not been met Many new developments near subway stations have failed to incorporate affordable housing units mid-range and high-end buildings have been erected as seen in neighborhoods like Vila Madalena and Pinheiros in São Paulo’s West Side “Construction firms and developers have exploited loopholes in zoning regulations to develop projects aligned with their commercial interests,” says Alves he concluded a FAPESP-funded research project investigating high-rise development and its purported role in building more inclusive cities Maira Erlich / Bloomberg via Getty ImagesAtlântica Avenue in Balneário Camboriú: the city’s zoning regulations have no height limits for developments along this avenueMaira Erlich / Bloomberg via Getty Images The real-estate market has responded to the new guidelines with developments featuring studio-type apartments near subway stations Despite their compact size—less than 80 square meters—they boast balconies with barbecue areas and communal amenities such as party halls With the current ban on apartments with more than one parking space each some developers have purchased adjacent lots to create parking facilities that can then be leased to future residents of the development The latest revision of São Paulo’s Master Plan has increased the average size of apartments and the number of parking spaces in developments along high-density backbone axes This has attracted high-end developments precisely near the city’s subway stations “The current Master Plan is more aligned with the interests of the real estate market and the essential tenets of the 2014 Master Plan have been abandoned,” he adds a political-science researcher at the USP Center for Metropolitan Studies (CEM) conducted a survey on the São Paulo real estate market based on property-tax data over the period 2000–2020 which quantifies locations serving as housing for one or more individuals Marques’s study focused on the stock of titled properties—residential properties that have been legalized by the municipal government—including those not necessarily being used for residence whereas these were included in the IBGE Census São Paulo now has more apartments than it does houses a figure that climbed to 1.37 million by 2020—an increase of 11.8% apartments surged from 767,000 units in 2000 to 1.38 million in 2020 we observed an uninterrupted trend of verticalization throughout the city,” notes Marques the city saw two different master plans and two zoning laws “These regulations accelerated the high-rise trend in some neighborhoods but the city as a whole was already undergoing a process of vertical expansion,” he says mid-range buildings have been the main drivers of urban growth over the past 20 years Cristian Lourenço / Getty ImagesIn Rio de Janeiro master plans have been developed with a view to preserving the cityscapeCristian Lourenço / Getty Images The relaxation of zoning regulations to accommodate real-estate market interests also helps explain the vertical growth trend in Porto Alegre according to architect and urban planner William Mog defended in 2022 at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) Mog analyzed formal real-estate market data in a study similar to Marques’s Porto Alegre has the fifth-highest percentage of people living in apartments with 42% of its residents residing in this type of housing Based on property-tax data for 2000 to 2019 Mog found that apartments accounted for 60% of the square footage built during the period “This reflects recent amendments to the city’s urban planning regulations Master plans were adapted to accommodate a high-rise land-use model,” says the researcher He cites as examples the verticalization of sections of the city’s North Side which until 2000 were environmental protection areas or originally industrial areas barred from real estate development we have observed a proliferation of developments primarily targeting individuals with low to moderate purchasing power,” he says “These buildings have increased population density in the outer areas of the city significantly affecting urban mobility,” says Mog an architect and urban planner at the Operational Support Center for Urban Planning and Property Affairs run by the State Public Prosecutor’s Office Many of the regulatory changes that eased restrictions on vertical development were not implemented through master plans but through specific laws that altered land-use zoning for new real estate developments Rio de Janeiro’s master plans have consistently placed a cap on building heights in the city a professor of architecture at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) As a coauthor of the book O Rio de Janeiro nas alturas (Rio de Janeiro’s high-rise; Mauad Cardeman has researched the city’s zoning regulations from the arrival of the imperial court of Dom João VI (1767–1826) in 1808 to the present began in central areas as early as the nineteenth century The construction of the city’s tram system in 1859 accelerated this process and expanded it to other areas of what was then Brazil’s capital It was during this period that middle- and upper-income residents started purchasing small plots of land on the North Side multistory development began in the early twentieth century in Copacabana and expanded in the subsequent decades to Ipanema and Leblon consisting primarily of mid-rise buildings on small lots With its first master plan dating back to 1988 and the latest edition enacted in early 2024 Rio is among the 15 Brazilian cities with the highest percentages of residents living in apartments its zoning regulations have maintained strict building-height limits in neighborhoods like Ipanema and Copacabana the limit has been 18 floors,” says Cardeman a project to revitalize the city’s port area in 2011—here “Rio’s master plans have been developed with a view to preserving the landscape and cityscape,” explains Cardeman One of the measures taken in Rio was the creation of Cultural Environment Protection Areas in 1992 This law requires urban clusters representative of the city’s different stages of development to be preserved in their as-developed state in neighborhoods like Catete and Jardim Botânico the maximum height for new buildings is lower than in other areas of the city tend to induce people to interact more with public spaces and enjoy the building-front sidewalks large developments surrounded by walls and guardhouses tend to isolate citizens from everyday life in cities,” concludes Cardeman Project Storm surge and coastal flood warning system for the coast of São Paulo, focusing on the

small cars under a GM global license from 2019 the companies said in a statement on Thursday without disclosing a value for the deal.As part of the deal a unit of Vietnam's biggest private conglomerate - Vingroup JSC will be the exclusive distributor of the Chevrolet in Vietnam."The GM-VinFast strategic partnership will best position the Chevrolet brand and dealer network for long-term growth in Vietnam by leveraging GM's global scale and expertise married with VinFast's domestic strength and insight," said Barry Engle executive vice president and president of GM International.The transfer is expected to be conducted by the end of 2018 the companies said in the statement.GM used its Hanoi plant to assemble Chevrolets with parts imported from South Korea - a country where the U.S automaker came close to bankruptcy as it struggled to turn around its debt-laden unit GM Korea is GM's biggest production base in Asia excluding China.The plant will be used solely to produce VinFast cars after the transfer while Chevrolet cars will be imported.VinFast said this partnership with GM was "integral" to its plan to "launch a portfolio of five VinFast vehicles in 2019".It is building a $1.5 billion factory in the northern province of Hai Phong and plans to launch a sedan and sport-utility vehicle in the third quarter of 2019 electric car and electric bus by end-2019."Our vision is to build an automobile manufacturing eco-system that will include assembly plants and a string of supporting industries," said VinFast CEO Jim DeLuca.Vietnam's automobile sales grew 24 percent in 2016 but fell 10 percent last year to 272,750 units data from the Vietnam Automobile Manufacturers' Association (VAMA) showed Sales fell 6 percent in the first five months of 2018.While GM's sales in Vietnam have been rising since 2014 its numbers last year were only an eighth of the country's market leader and a sixth of runner up Japanese rival Toyota Motor Corp <7203.T> lagging

The release event in partnership with Diadema City Hall and the Great ABC Intermunicipal Consortium Housing units of the “closed street or condominium house” type which in 2010 housed 1.6% of persons residing in Brazil the types “house” and “closed street or condominium houses” brought together 87.2% of the population The broad predominance of houses among the types of housing units had already been recorded in previous Population Censuses as well as the tendency for the proportion of apartments to increase: in 2000 7.6% of the population lived in this type of housing unit a number that rose to 8 .5% in 2010 to reach 12.5% registered in 2022 explains that this increase is significant and national being registered in all the Major Regions of the country although it is more typical of big urban centers “This verticalization is a response to the population density in municipalities mainly in Metropolitan Areas and in the centers of bigger cities,” he states A group of 494 thousand persons (0.2% of the population) lived in housing units of the “boarding house or tenement” type The other two categories housed less than 0.1% of the population: “Indigenous housing without walls or maloca” and “degraded or unfinished permanent residential structure” with 81 thousand persons.Piauí has the highest proportion of persons in houses; Federal District leads in apartmentsComparing the 2010 Census with the 2022 Census the proportion of the population living in an apartment increased in all Major Regions The highest percentage is in the Southeast (16.7%) The North records the lowest figure (5.2%).Among the Federation Units (UF) Piauí had the highest proportion of the population residing in housing units classified as "houses" (95.6%) closely followed by Tocantins (95.3%) and Maranhão (95.1% ) The lowest was in the Federal District (66.14%) led the ranking of percentage of the population residing in apartments (28.7%) while Tocantins (2.5%) had the lowest proportion in this matter.The highest occurrence of houses in a closed street or in a condominium was recorded in Rio de Janeiro (5.9%) Espírito Santo (0.5%) had the lowest percentage.Santos (SP) Balneário Camboriú (SC) and São Caetano do Sul (SP) are the only municipalities with a predominance of apartment dwellersDespite registering an expansion of apartment-type housing units but with peculiar and different characteristics One of these municipalities is Santos (SP) the only one on the list in the 2010 Census when 57.8% of the population lived in apartments This percentage increased to 63.4% in 2022 “It is a municipality with a large part of its area on an island where the urban part is already fully occupied Part of what could be the outskirts and less dense regions of Santos are in neighboring municipalities” Perez.Balneário Camboriú (SC) follows a different dynamic With intense real estate activity in recent years and being an important tourist destination in the South region the municipality of Santa Catarina saw the percentage of residents in apartments jump from 48.9% to 57.2% from the 2010 Census to the 2022 Census The north coast of Santa Catarina has attracted attention due to the large number of skyscrapers built recently "It's a trend in high-valued coastal areas: a densification that generates verticalization to attract more people who want to be close to the beaches" explains the researcher.São Caetano do Sul (SP) completes the list with a medium-sized population and is very much part of the Metropolitan Area of São Paulo it has similar characteristics to the area of the so-called Expanded Center of São Paulo: very dense and has considerable verticalization” Municipalities with the highest percentage of apartments general water distribution network was the main form of water supply for 82.9% of residentsToday's release of the 2022 Census also presents results regarding the main form of water supply to housing units in Brazil The general distribution network appeared in 60.8 million housing units This percentage is higher than the occurrence of the option recorded in the 2010 Population Census (81.5%) despite changes made to the questionnaire to make the classification stricter.Deep or artesian wells were the second main form of supply appearing in housing units representing 9.0% of the population considered adequate for monitoring purposes of the National Basic Sanitation Plan (PLANSAB) served 96.9% of the population in 2022.With a lower national occurrence are water tanker trucks (1.0%) A set of 0.6% of the population mainly used forms of supply that did not fit into the options in the questionnaire.2022 Census: regional differences in water supplyThe general network was the main form of water supply in all regions While in the Southeast the percentage was 91.0% was the region with the highest proportions of the population using deep or artesian wells (24.3%) and shallow or phreatic wells (11.8%).The Northeast had the highest proportions of the "water tanker" (3.5%) and "stored rainwater" (1.8%) forms of supply while the North Region had the highest proportion of the "Rivers only São Paulo (95.6%) and the Federal District (92.8%) had more than 90% of residents in housing units with a general water supply network as their main supply form Rondônia (45.3%) and Amapá (43.7%) did not reach 50%.“Among the municipalities” “there are regional peculiarities that significantly change the logic of  water supply service” 50% or more of the population was supplied mainly by the general network and in 5,157 municipalities the general network was the predominant form of water supply one of the regional peculiarities pointed out by the researcher is in the “water tanker” aspect it was the predominant form of supply in 68 Brazilian municipalities 10,500 autoworkers at three General Motors in Brazil have voted to go on strike starting Monday (23) in protest against layoffs carried out by the automaker in the country. The strike for an “indefinite period of time” happens as GM sent layoff-letters by email and telegram Workers at their homes last saturday. The layoffs were made without prior negotiation with the unions.� GM’s mass layoffs happened in three factories in the state of S�o Paulo. In addition to S�o Jos� dos Campos, workers from S�o Caetano do Sul and Mogi das Cruzes were dismissed. The company has not yet informed the union how many employees have been dismissed. The strike approved by rank-and-file auto workers will only allow factories to begin production again after the cancellation of the layoffs and guarantee of job stability for all. In the Sao Jose dos Campos plant the approval was massive with a vote held during a unified workers assembly that included all three shifts. In June, General Motors signed a "Temporary Layoff agreement" (Temporary Suspension of Employment Contract) with the Metalworkers Union of S�o Jos� dos Campos, affiliated to CSP-Conlutas. The document protects job stability for all employees until May 2024. Last Saturday’s� dismissal hit both the workers who were a part of the "layoff agreement", as well as those who were in the factory.� Part of the salaries of the 1,200 workers who are in the "layoff agreement”" is paid with public resources by the federal government. In addition to breaking the layoff agreement, GM failed to comply with the legislation that requires companies to open negotiations with the union before making mass dismissals. On strike, the S�o Jos� dos Campos plant has stopped producing about 150 cars a day. GM employs about 4,000 people in Sao Jose dos Campos, where it makes engines, gearboxes, the Trailblazer SUV and the S-10 truck. The plant in the city of S�o Caetano do Sul produces Spin, Tracker and Montana vehicles and has 6,200 autoworkers. The Mogi das Cruzes plant produces stamping parts and has 500 autoworkers. GM autoworkers in the state of S�o Paulo also have mutual support with UAW autoworkers in the United States on strike for more than a month, for Contracts with increase wages and better working conditions. "GM acted illegally, for disrespecting the agreement, Brazilian labor law, and the workers. We will not produce a single screw, as long as the layoffs are not canceled," says the vice president of the Union, Valmir Mariano. We kindly ask you to send an email with a motion of solidarity to the emails and the text of the motion model below: Send copy to secretaria@sindmetalsjc.org.br. Motion in Solidarity with GM Autoworkers Strike in Brazil! The (name of organization) repudiates the act of automaker General Motors, which, on Saturday (21), dismissed workers enmasse via email and telegram. The mass dismissal was cowardly and arbitrary, as it occurred without prior negotiation with the unions, in opposition to the Brazilian Labor Law. Furthermore, in two plants, S�o Jos� dos Campos and Mogi das Cruzes, GM failed to comply with "Temporary Layoff Agreements" (Temporary suspension of the employment contract) signed with the unions, which guaranteed to protect jobs for all. In S�o Caetano, similarly, the company carried out the cuts unilaterally, without prior negotiation. All cuts are unjustifiable. The automaker claims a drop in its sales, but, on the contrary, it recorded an increase of 18.18% in Brazilian sales between April and June this year, compared to the same period last year. Furthermore, it obtained a net profit of 2.57 billion dollars (R$ 12.94 billion) in the second quarter of this year, an increase of 51.6% in the annual comparison. Until Sunday (22), in repudiation of the collective dismissal, 10,500 GM auto workers in three plants - S�o Caetano do Sul, S�o Jos� dos Campos and Mogi das Cruzes approved a strike for an indefinite period of time. The three unions are seeking negotiations with the GM to reverse the dismissals and guarantee jobs. We repudiate GM's action, we are in solidarity with the striking workers and demand that GM cancel all dismissals! - International Solidarity with Brazilian GM Auto Workers on Strike! - For the Immediate Reinstatement of Workers! The event will be held at the union's headquarters. The Struggle Continues for Home Office and Benefits Agreement The company has only proposed a 1.85% pay rise Union leaders Valmir Mariano, Ant�nio Lisboa and Herbert Claros visited UAW picket lines between October 10 - 15 There have already been five salary campaigns that employers ignored Final compensation, of a very low amount, was paid directly into the bank accounts of the dismissed workers More than a thousand workers will be affected by the closure of the manufacturer in the region In just over 20 minutes of production, cases of moral harassment and disrespect for labor rights A boy of ten shot his teacher in front of terrified classmates - then turned the gun on himself. Policeman's son David Nogueira, blasted Rosileide Queiros de Oliveira, 38, twice with his father's .38 revolver in front of 25 horrified youngsters. As the teacher lay bleeding on the floor, David ran out of the classroom into the hallway and shot himself in the head. Ms Queiros de Oliveira was taken by helicopter to hospital where she was today recovering from her injuries. She has a broken hip and a broken kneecap. David was also taken to hospital but died shortly afterwards. The bloodbath happened at Alcina Dantas Feijao, a leading state school in Sao Caetano do Sur, in the Brazilian state of Sao Paulo, at 3.50pm local time yesterday. Captain Robinson Castropil, from the Military Police, said: 'The boy asked for permission to go to the bathroom and when he came back to the classroom he shot his teacher. 'He then ran out of the room and shot himself.' Police are investigating how the boy came to have the revolver and his motives for the horrific crime. Friends said the day before the tragedy the boy had talked about shooting his teacher and himself, but never revealed a motive. A neighbour of the child's family, Paulo Roberto Caetano da Silva, 49, described the ten-year-old as 'quiet and polite, a good kid'. Paulo added: 'I can't believe he could have done such a thing.' Security councillor in the city, Moacyr Rodrigues, said the boy's father Nilton Evangelista Nogueira has been a police officer for 14 years and has 'an impeccable service record'.
