The Goiânia City Council has approved several legislative measures focused on urban development and social protection. The ‘Morar no Centro’ program was passed to revitalize the city’s central sector through residential incentives, tax exemptions, and rent subsidies to encourage building reoccupation.

To address social safety, the council established the ‘Escudo Feminino’ program, which offers women victims of violence a progressive scale of protection, including financial aid of up to R$ 5,000 for firearm acquisition under specific conditions. 

Additionally, the council finalized projects to rename major bus terminals after local football clubs to encourage public transit use and attract private investment. In Ivaiporã, Mayor Carlos Gil launched the ‘Nossa Casa Ivaiporã’ program, a R$ 120 million investment to provide 965 housing units.
