The socioeconomic transformations experienced by the city in the mid-20th century resulted, from the 1960s onward, in the emergence of the first urban fringes and slums—locally known as “invasions.” However, it was only in the 1980s that these settlements appeared in the northern portion of the Tarumã territory, alongside the peripheral areas of adjacent neighborhoods. Concurrently with the consolidation of these communities, beginning in the 2000s, real estate and development capital began to show interest in the region, promoting distinct projects in the northern and southwestern areas of the neighborhood. This work conducts an exploratory analysis of the neighborhood’s consolidation process in order to highlight open avenues for research on urban expansion in Tarumã, drawing primarily on contrasts between two distinct occupation dynamics: the first driven by informal settlements, and the second by local real estate capital. To this end, the study employs satellite image analysis over the past 20 years, bibliographic research, and, as its main source for understanding the formation of this territory, the accounts documented in the New Social Cartography of the Amazon Project (PNCSA).

Based on the analysis of the 2021 Master Plan, the Metropolis Statute, and the Integrated Urban Development Plan of the Rio de Janeiro Metropolitan Region, the study discusses how productive restructuring and weak metropolitan governance shape local development possibilities. It argues that although recent planning instruments incorporate discourses of sustainability, polycentrism, and territorial rebalancing, the municipality remains marked by a dependent economic insertion, grounded in low-complexity services, popular commerce, and informal activities. The article concludes that the absence of economic policies articulated with urban planning and the fragility of metropolitan institutions limit São João de Meriti’s capacity to overcome its peripheral condition, reinforcing the need to integrate territorial planning, economic policy, and democratic governance.

In this context, the integration of Complete Streets, 15-Minute Cities, and Green Infrastructure emerges as a viable alternative for sustainable urban development, fostering more accessible, resilient, and environmentally balanced spaces. This study, through a literature review, analyzed the impact of implementing these strategies and their synergy in building more sustainable cities. The results indicate that cities adopting these guidelines have experienced improved urban mobility, reduced pollutant emissions, strengthened local economies, and enhanced public spaces. Additionally, green infrastructure has proven to be a fundamental element in mitigating the environmental impacts of urbanization, providing effective solutions for urban drainage, thermal comfort, and biodiversity enhancement. However, implementing these strategies still faces challenges, such as political barriers, cultural resistance, financial limitations, and difficulties in formulating effective public policies. To overcome these obstacles, strengthening urban governance, promoting integrated mobility and environmental policies, and adopting smart technologies to optimize urban planning and management are recommended. The study concludes that adopting sustainable urban models—based on active mobility, service decentralization, and innovative environmental solutions—is essential to creating fairer, more efficient cities that are better prepared for the challenges of climate change and population growth.

In the face of the limitations of traditional urban planning, insurgent planning initiatives (MIRAFTAB, 2016) have emerged as community strategies for resistance and climate adaptation. This article analyzes two experiences in this context: the Plano Comunitário de Ponta Negra (Community Plan of Ponta Negra), developed through a participatory process on the southern coast of Rio de Janeiro, and the Plano Verão (Summer Plan), produced by youth organizations in the Metropolitan Region of Rio de Janeiro (RMRJ). Built through partnerships between universities, collectives, social movements, and local residents, these plans represent two experiences that highlight the urgency of democratizing the climate debate within public planning and management. Based on documentary analysis and literature review, the research examines how these processes mobilize local knowledge, dispute the public agenda, and challenge the exclusionary logic of hegemonic urbanism. The results indicate that such initiatives not only expand popular participation in climate governance but also confront institutional structures, advocating for climate justice and the right to the city. The study concludes that, although they face political and institutional barriers, these practices exemplify the potential of insurgent planning in building more democratic and resilient cities.
