Plano diretor e sustentabilidade urbana: o III plano diretor de Pelotas, Lei 5502/2008 - Tomo I.

Abstract

This work aimed to identify the sustainable principles of the 3rd Master Plan of Pelotas (III Plano Diretor de Pelotas) and how they were translated into the plan’s law. In order to do that, documental research of the urban planning, law 5502/2008, was carried out. Documents produced during the preparation of the plan by the technical team as well as articles, books, thesis, maps, plans and laws were analyzed. Contents from interviews with professionals who participated in the preparation of the 3rd Master Plan were also used. A concept of sustainable city was adopted, which was used for the construction of criteria for sustainability analysis. Based on these criteria, the analysis of the 3rd Master Plan was performed. It was observed that the plan was constructed taking into account criteria of urban sustainability. However, despite presenting sustainable guidelines in the exposing part of the law, it presents shortcomings in the disposition part, the one that produces practical effects. As the planning proposal contained in the urban plan is of a permanent effort of complementing and detailing, it is expected that these shortcomings will be dealt with so that the ideas proposed can be fully applied, contributing to the stimulation and strengthening of the characteristics of partnership, flexibility, diversity and interdependence which increase the cyclic processes in the city making it more sustainable.
