O direito à cidade sustentável: perspectivas jurídico-ambientais sobre o planejamento urbano, a gestão participativa e as agendas internacionais

Abstract

This monograph aims to analyze the right to a sustainable city in the Brazilian legal system, understanding it as a fundamental right under construction, whose effectiveness demands the integration between urban development, social justice and environmental protection. It starts with the need to rethink contemporary urban space in the light of the principles of sustainability, considering the social function of the city and property as central elements of urban policy. The research adopts a critical legal-environmental approach, investigating the role of Law, especially Environmental Law, in the consolidation of inclusive, resilient and sustainable cities. The constitutional and infra-constitutional foundations of the right to the city are examined, with emphasis on articles 182, 183 and 225 of the Federal Constitution, the Statute of the City, the Master Plan and the Democratic Management of Cities. In dialogue with international law, the work also analyzes the guidelines of the UN 2030 Agenda, focusing on Sustainable Development Goal 11 (SDG 11), as well as the contribution of the New Urban Agenda, from UN-Habitat. In the end, it is concluded that the realization of the right to a sustainable city requires democratic and participatory urban planning, articulated with the international commitments assumed by Brazil and committed to the promotion of fairer, more humane and environmentally balanced cities
