                         unbalanced ways and by means of complex processes. Efforts to 
                         minimize or solve the problems resulting from spatial inequalities 
                         tend to fail when relying on traditional public policies. This 
                         work is committed to analyzing the context for implementing public 
                         policies and their impacts on the periphery of Sao Paulo, Brazil. 
                         Sao Paulo is a city characterized by territorial and social 
                         heterogeneity and inequality. The materialization of these public 
                         policies involves the construction of unified educational centers 
                         in peripheral neighborhoods that, in addition to education, offer 
                         sports, leisure, and entertainment activities not only to enrolled 
                         students but to the wider residents' community. The adopted 
                         methodology was based on cellular automata models driven by 
                         remotely sensed images designed to investigate land use and land 
                         cover patterns in the surroundings of these educational centers 
                         before and after their construction. The achieved results 
                         demonstrate that the initial land use and land cover 
                         configurations have a great influence on the land use and land 
                         cover spatial arrangements after the construction of the 
                         educational centers. However, in all the test sites of this 
                         research, it was observed that these social infrastructure 
                         facilities favored the reproduction of real estate market logic, 
                         marked by socially exclusive differentiation and an uneven 
                         appreciation of the urban environment.",
