A positivação do planejamento urbano: a experiência dos planos diretores no Brasil e os desafios para o ordenamento de novas configurações sócio-territoriais

Abstract

A brief historical analysis of the importance of urban planning in Brazil is the basis for the study of the experience of what is understood as a positivization of this: the Master Plans appear as legislation (municipal) that intends to order the territory and establish certain parameters to organize the cities, especially from their functions. However, the expansion of urban centers and the complexity of demands to the state require that the planning view should reach broader perspectives, especially regional ones, with emphasis on metropolization. In this sense, the recent Metropolis Statute demonstrates that such attachment to legislating is still current: the Federal Law 13.089/2015 establishes new figures and instruments, with the same aim of being able to follow and conform the rapid urbanization process. However, the urban reality seems much more dynamic and versatile, demanding not only legal rules but adequate public policies and budget to realize the right to the city.
