Ruas completas, cidades de 15 minutos e infraestruturas verdes : uma sinergia para cidades responsivas

Abstract

Unplanned urban growth and the prioritization of individual motorized transport have created significant challenges for mobility, accessibility, and sustainability in contemporary cities. 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.
