Democratic innovations and citizen participation in urban planning in Brazil

Abstract

Democratization in Brazil was highlighted by the emergence of civil society in the political scene, generalizing a set of social movements that vindicated distributive policies and participation. From the Constitution of 1988, citizen participation was institutionalized and penetrated the state networks. In this scenario, democratic innovations in urban planning are highlighted, particularly through the Urban Planning Plan, the basic instrument to ensure the social function of property and democratic management. The Federal Law nº 10.257 / 2001 (Statute of the City) ratified this participative requirement. However, among the institutional rules and the success factors of these innovations, there is a wide gulf that must be investigated in order to measure the effectiveness of democratization in urban planning.
