Streighering the cultural vocation of the city, the Mayor Cesar Maia introduced a policy of descentralization the cultural urban equipment, one of the bases for the democratization of unrestricted access to culture for the population.

However, Maia’s three terms as Mayor of the country’s most famous city means he cannot be lightly dismissed, not least by President Lula, whom he is likely to face in the 2006 presidential elections.

Maia’s more recent stints as Mayor have been characterised by some progress in his social programmes, possibly learning the lessons of his first term, and his attempts to reposition Brazil's former capital as a major international city.
