Centro de Estudos Pesquisa e Documentação em Cidades Saudáveis (CEPEDOC Cidades Saudáveis - USP)
CEPEDOC Cidades Saudáveis (Healthy Cities) was created in 2000 and sought to incorporate the premises of health promotion and healthy cities initiatives that had been taking place worldwide since the late 1970s, especially in Canada. A group of researchers, students and professors linked to the Faculty of Public Health had already been studying the theme of cities and their relationship with health promotion. The scope of the center's work consists of organizing and disseminating existing information on Health Promotion and Healthy Cities, as well as articulating a permanent agenda of events for mutual exchange and cooperation between cities and institutions, thus promoting a communication network between cities.

Central de Movimentos Populares (CMP)
The Central de Movimentos Populares (CMP - Popular Movements Central) is an organization founded in 1993 out of a historical process of resistance by popular movements in defense of urban reform and a popular democratic project for Brazil. The CMP is present in 19 Brazilian states and brings together various popular urban movements, such as housing, health, women, blacks, youth, solidarity economy, defense of the rights of children and adolescents, and residents' associations, among others. Through their work in the CMP, popular movements strengthen their specific struggles and, at the same time, build common struggles of a general nature, aiming for public policies with popular participation.
