Keywords:
master plan, city statute, sustainable development, democratic management, community participationAbstract
In the fictitious municipality of Cruzinha, 2005, implementing the Master Plan became imperative due to Federal Law No. 10,257 of 2001, known as the City Statute. The legislation required the reformulation of municipal master plans to incorporate a participatory approach and consider sustainable urban development issues. Under the coordination of urban planner Susana, the city faced significant challenges in democratic management, trying to involve the community in the construction of the new plan, ensuring that different interests were considered, and facing ethical dilemmas when certain parliamentary amendments threatened the sustainable principles of the plan. The process involved extensive public hearings and consultations, highlighting the difficulty in obtaining full public participation. Despite efforts, some controversial amendments were proposed during processing in the City Council, highlighting the complexity of reconciling different interests in the local political scene. The case highlights the tension between the vision of sustainable development and political pressures, revealing the challenges inherent in implementing participatory and sustainable strategies in urban contexts.
