The widespread adoption of autonomous cars has the potential to revolutionize urban transportation, but what impact will it have on urban form? This thesis examines the hypothesis that adopting autonomous cars can transform street space into a more human-centric purpose, leading to more livable and sustainable cities. The research was conducted through a literature review, analysis of case studies, and the development of specific street designs in order to reveal possible scenarios. The literature review suggests that adopting autonomous cars can reduce the need for parking and increase the efficiency of transportation. Furthermore, the rise of shared cars is expected to revolutionize the way people move. With the advent of autonomous cars, it is possible that personal cars will become less necessary as people can rely on these constant-moving vehicles for transportation. These changes will impact our cities creating new opportunities to improve the urban space. The thesis explores these challenges and opportunities through design for the actual urban environment of Washington D.C. As the capital of the United States, the country where cars have significantly shaped its cities, it is also home to influential political and policy-makers. As a result, the city offers a good opportunity to rethink the future urban environment when this technology will be widely adopted. The findings of this thesis suggest that the adoption of autonomous cars has the potential to transform urban form reclaiming street space for people, but also requires careful planning and design to ensure that the benefits are distributed equitably and the negative impacts are minimized. The thesis concludes with four street proposals, each performing a different role in the city and the results provoke a reflection of the role of the street in our cities. / Master of Science / The widespread use of self-driving cars can transform our lives in cities. This new technology could lead to a more human-centered urban environment, where streets are designed for people rather than cars. The use of self-driving cars could also reduce the need for parking and improve the efficiency of transportation. However, this transformation requires careful planning and design to ensure that the benefits are distributed fairly and that negative impacts are minimized. A recent study looked at the potential impact of self-driving cars in Washington D.C., and suggests that the adoption of this technology could transform urban form and make cities more livable and sustainable. The study concludes with several street design proposals that could help shape the future of our cities. The findings of this thesis suggest that the adoption of autonomous cars has the potential to transform urban form reclaiming street space for people, it concludes with street proposals, each performing a different role in the city.

Detta examensarbete i samhällsbyggnadsteknik undersöker och jämför planeringsprocesser vid markanvisning, för att utforska hur kommuner arbetar vid utvecklingen av hållbara stadsdelar. Vidare syftar arbetat till att undersöka hur grönstruktur främjar en hållbar stadsutveckling vid exploatering av kommunal ägd mark. Studien utforskar även arbetet med grönytefaktorn som planeringsverktyg för att uppnå grönare städer. Studien är av fallstudiedesign där fallet är Malmö stad och två utvalda hållbara stadsdelar utgör två analysenheter. Stadsdelarna är Norra Sorgenfri och Sege park i Malmö stad. En litteraturgenomgång har genomförts för att få en större inblick i det aktuella forskningsområdet. Därefter har en fallstudie av Malmö stad och de två fallstudieenheterna utförts. Innehållsanalys har använts som metod för att granska och analysera planer och dokument som rör planeringen av hållbara stadsdelar i Malmö stad. Studiens resultat visar på att en strategisk planering och en bra samverkan av stadens alla planer och dokument underlättar i planeringsprocessen likväl som en tyngdvikt vid dialogform, både vad gäller dialog över olika kommunala enheter, olika aktörer inom samhällsbyggnad samt medborgardialog och byggherredialog. Det framgår även att planera för grönstruktur kan vara utmanande, framför allt i den täta staden, där grönytefaktorn är ett effektivt planeringsverktyg. / This study is a bachelor thesis in construction and urban planning that investigate and compares planning processes in land allocation to explore how municipalities working with development of sustainable urban planning. Furthermore, this study aims to investigate how green infrastructures supports sustainable urban development when explode land owned by municipality. The study also explores the use of the green area index tool as a planning tool to achieve greener sustainable cities. The study is a case study design, the case is the city of Malmö and two case study units consisting of the Norra Sorgenfri and Sege Park districts. To gain a greater insight into the current research area the rapport begins with a literature study. The rapport continues with the case study of Malmö city and the two case study units. A content analysis has been used as a method to review and analyze plans and documents relating to the sustainable urban planning in the city of Malmö. The study's results show that strategic planning and a good collaboration of all the city's plans and documents smooth the planning process as well as the impact of dialogue. Both in terms of dialogue across different municipal units, people working in the field of sustainable urban development as well as citizen dialogue and developer dialogue. It also appears that planning for green infrastructure can be challenging. Especially in dense cities, where the green area index tool can be an effective planning tool.

Cities are responsible for an increasingly large share of environmental impacts linked to their resource consumption and production of waste. Understanding how the flows of materials and energy in urban systems contribute to environmental impacts is fundamental for urban sustainability. The combination of Material and Energy Flow Analysis (MEFA) and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) allows an in-depth evaluation of the city’s metabolism by quantifying the environmental impacts of these flows from a life cycle perspective. This method provides a global perspective on the environmental impacts of the studied system and helps avoiding unintended tradeoffs between life cycle stages or between different types of environmental impact.  This thesis aims to analyze the urban metabolism of the city of Umeå by using a simplified MEFA- LCA methodology. The simplified method aims to evaluate urban metabolism based on the available data, without requiring intensive data inventory, and thus can be a powerful tool to assess the sustainability of cities that have not previously been studied, and for which detailed data on material flows are not available, like in the case of Umeå. The MEFA method was used to identify and quantify the most important flows for 5 main sectors in Umeå’s metabolism: households, construction, transportation, wastewater and solid waste treatment. Then, the environmental impacts of these flows throughout their life cycles were quantified with the LCA methodology. Life cycle inventory data were taken from processes available on the Ecoinvent and Agri-footprint databases, and the impact assessment was done using the ReCiPe midpoint method, considering all impact categories to provide a broader view of the environmental impacts.  The results from the application of the MEFA-LCA methodology provided different but complementary information on the city’s metabolism. The households are responsible for most of the material flows, with water being the most relevant flow, while the transportation sector is responsible for most of the energy flows in the form of fuels. The LCA analysis showed that the households and the transportation sector are responsible for the largest share of the environmental impacts. The flow of manufactured materials is the most relevant for the households sector, followed by energy and foods and drinks. In the transportation sector, private passenger cars and air travel correspond to the largest share of impacts in all categories. Regarding the other three sectors, in the construction sector, concrete and cement represent the material flow with the most impact, while the solid waste and wastewater treatment have small contributions to the total environmental impacts.  The analysis performed in this thesis demonstrated that the MEFA-LCA methodology is a useful tool to evaluate the environmental sustainability of a city’s metabolism. It can assess how different sectors and flows contribute to environmental impacts, without requiring exhaustive data. Thus, it can identify key sectors and flows that should be prioritized when developing strategies or planning future research. / Städer står för en allt större del av miljöpåverkan kopplad till deras resursförbrukning och produktion av avfall. Att förstå hur flöden av material och energi i urbana system bidrar till miljöpåverkan är grundläggande för urban hållbarhet. Kombinationen av material- och energiflödesanalys (MEFA) och livscykelanalys (LCA) möjliggör en djupgående utvärdering av stadens metabolism genom att kvantifiera miljöpåverkan från dessa flöden ur ett livscykelperspektiv. Denna metod ger ett globalt perspektiv på miljöpåverkan från det studerade systemet och hjälper till att undvika oavsiktliga förskjutningar (trade-offs) mellan olika typer av miljöpåverkan eller mellan olika delar av livscykeln.  Detta examensarbete syftar till att analysera den urbana metabolismen i Umeå stad genom att använda en förenklad MEFA-LCA metod. Den förenklade metoden syftar till att utvärdera urban metabolism baserat på tillgängliga data, utan att kräva intensiv datainventering, och kan därmed vara ett kraftfullt verktyg för att bedöma hållbarheten i städer som inte tidigare har undersökts och för vilka detaljerade data om materialflöden inte finns tillgängliga, som i fallet med Umeå. MEFA-metoden användes för att identifiera och kvantifiera de viktigaste flödena för 5 huvudsektorer i Umeås urbana metabolism: hushåll, byggsektorn, transport, avloppsrening och avfallshantering. Sedan kvantifierades miljöpåverkan av dessa flöden under deras livscykel med LCA-metoden. Livscykelinventeringsdata togs från processer tillgängliga på Ecoinvent- och Agri- footprint-databaserna, och miljöpåverkansbedömningen gjordes med hjälp av ReCiPe- midpunktsmetoden, med hänsyn till alla påverkanskategorier för att ge en bredare bild av miljökonsekvenserna.  Resultaten från tillämpningen av MEFA-LCA-metoden gav olika men kompletterande information om stadens metabolism. Hushållen står för merparten av materialflödena, där vatten är det mest relevanta flödet, medan transportsektorn står för merparten av energiflödena i form av bränslen. LCA-analysen visade att hushållen och transportsektorn står för den största delen av miljöpåverkan. Flödet av tillverkat material är det mest relevanta för hushållssektorn, följt av energi samt mat och dryck. Inom transportsektorn motsvarar privata personbilar och flygresor den största andelen påverkan i alla kategorier. När det gäller de övriga tre sektorerna, inom byggsektorn representerar betong och cement det materialflöde som har störst påverkan, medan avloppsrening och avfallshantering har små bidrag till den totala miljöpåverkan.  Analysen som utfördes i denna avhandling visade att MEFA-LCA-metoden är ett användbart verktyg för att utvärdera den miljömässiga hållbarheten hos en stads metabolism. Den kan bedöma hur olika sektorer och flöden bidrar till miljöpåverkan, utan att kräva uttömmande data. Således kan den identifiera nyckelsektorer och flöden som bör prioriteras vid utveckling av strategier eller planering av framtida forskning.

Le Schéma de Cohérence Territoriale (SCoT) est l’instrument central de l’aménagement communautaire urbain français, qui associe le rôle d’assemblage de plusieurs politiques sectorielles et de coordination multi-scalaire aux objectifs de conception de villes durables. Il est donc souhaité que les SCoTs soient capables : a) d’améliorer les procédures par l’instauration de territoires de planification mieux adaptés aux enjeux, b) d’élargir le dialogue entre acteurs et société civile et, finalement c) d’agir pour la « soutenabilité » des villes. Ainsi, les enseignements tirés de ce travail concernent à la fois la traduction du référentiel « ville durable » et l’analyse des modalités de création de la décision par les acteurs lors de l’élaboration des SCoTs. Ces analyses, réalisées à partir de deux cas (la communauté d’agglomération de Montpellier CAM et la région urbaine grenobloise RUG), s’appuient sur l’étude du contenu des deux SCoTs ainsi que d’autres sources documentaires, sur des entretiens avec des acteurs et sur l’observation des ateliers de travail et réunions délibératives lors de l’élaboration du document. Cette étude met en évidence la constitution d’une vision planificatrice à une échelle plus large que celle traitée par la planification antérieurement, une meilleur prise en compte des enjeux environnementaux et une meilleure maîtrise de l’étalement urbain par les deux SCoTs, agissant pour la construction de villes plus durables. Cependant, les SCoTs sont différents quant à la construction du périmètre de projet, plus cohérent et durable dans la RUG que dans la CAM, et quant à leur équilibre démocratique lors de la prise de décision. Cela est dû à leurs contextes particuliers, qu’influent autant, ou même plus, que les SCoTs, dans l’efficacité de l’action publique. / The Territorial Coherence Plan (Schéma de Cohérence Territoriale - SCoT) is the central French urban planning instrument of intercommunity, which combines the management of several sectorial policies and multi-scalar coordination with the objectives of designing more sustainable cities. Therefore, the SCoTs are expected: a) to help improving the planning procedures through the institution of better adapted territories to challenges, b) the dialogue between actors and civil society and, finally, c) to act for the sustainability of cities. Thus, the lessons learnt from this work relate to the translation of "sustainable city" reference system and analyzes the decision making process by stakeholders during the development of the SCoTs. These analyzes, carried through two study cases (the urban intercommunity of Montpellier “Communauté d’agglomération de Montpellier CAM and the urban region of Grenoble “region urbaine grenobloise” RUG), are based on the analysis of the content of two Scots and other documentary sources, on interviews with actors and on observation of workshops and deliberative meetings during the development of the document. This study highlights the development of a planner based on a larger planning scale vision, the better consideration of environmental issues and control urban sprawl by two SCoTs, acting for building more sustainable cities. However, the SCoTs are different relating to the construction of the project perimeter, more coherent and sustainable in the RUG than in the CAM, and relating to their democratic balance in decision-making. This is due to their specific contexts that sometimes become more influential than the Scots, in the effectiveness of public action.

The aging of the Brazilian population is influencing different studies about social protection and providing arguments pro-reform of the Brazilian State, especially a reform in the Social Security System. It is a relevant national issue but population aging also imposes different challenges for sustainable development at the local level. To study this problem, it is necessary to rescue the concept of sustainability from the economic arguments, bringing social protection as an inherent right of the elderly citizen into the discussion. To do so, sustainability must be recognized as an intrinsic "value" to the social dimension, along with the economic and environmental dimensions. The study starts with a literature review on sustainability, from the one-dimensional view of the economic development to sustainable development in its multiple dimensions. Then, the study focuses on the relationship between population aging and conquest of rights, specifically, comparing the demographic data of Brazil, S?o Paulo State and the Municipality of Campinas, and describing the evolution of the legal framework aimed to the elderly in Brazil. Finally, an analysis of the social assistance services and benefits directed to the elderly population of Campinas is presented, as well as the interaction between national and local legislation. This qualitative and quantitative analysis highlights the incompatibility between the criterion of sustainable development in the social dimension and the social protection for the elderly in Campinas. The documentary research and analysis were benefited from the works published by the Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estat?stica (IBGE), the Funda??o Sistema Estadual de An?lise de Dados (SEADE), the N?cleo de Estudos de Popula??o da Universidade Estadual de Campinas (NEPO-UNICAMP) and from the Instituto de Pesquisa Econ?mica Aplicada (IPEA). The analysis of the social assistance services and benefits was possible thanks to the annual report of the social assistance department of Campinas and to the data from the Ministry of Social Development (MDS). / Esta disserta??o visa aplicar o conceito de sustentabilidade na an?lise da prote??o social dirigida aos idosos no Munic?pio de Campinas. O envelhecimento da popula??o brasileira tem influenciado diferentes estudos acerca da seguridade social e instrumentalizado argumentos pr?-reforma do Estado brasileiro, em especial, a reforma no Sistema de Seguridade Social. N?o obstante a relev?ncia desse tema no ?mbito nacional, o envelhecimento populacional imp?e diferentes desafios para o desenvolvimento sustent?vel tamb?m na esfera local. Diante desta problem?tica, torna-se necess?rio resgatar o conceito de sustentabilidade dos argumentos puramente econ?micos, trazendo a prote??o social como direito inerente ao cidad?o idoso. Para tanto, a sustentabilidade precisa ser reconhecida como um ?valor? intr?nseco ? dimens?o social, equilibrando a rela??o desta dimens?o com as dimens?es econ?mica e ambiental. O estudo abarca uma revis?o bibliogr?fica acerca da sustentabilidade, partindo do desenvolvimento estritamente econ?mico at? o desenvolvimento sustent?vel nas suas m?ltiplas dimens?es. Inclui tamb?m uma an?lise da rela??o entre envelhecimento populacional e conquista de direitos sociais, comparando os dados demogr?ficos do Brasil, do Estado de S?o Paulo e do Munic?pio de Campinas e descrevendo a trajet?ria da legisla??o pertinente ao idoso no Brasil. Por fim, apresenta-se uma an?lise dos servi?os e benef?cios socioassistenciais voltados ? popula??o idosa de Campinas, observando tamb?m as interela??es entre as legisla??es nacional e municipal. Atrav?s da an?lise qualitativa e quantitativa ficou evidente a incompatibilidade entre o crit?rio de desenvolvimento sustent?vel na dimens?o social e a prote??o social realizada aos idosos em Campinas. A pesquisa e a an?lise documental foram beneficiadas pelas publica??es do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estat?stica (IBGE), da Funda??o Sistema Estadual de An?lise de Dados (SEADE), do N?cleo de Estudos de Popula??o da Universidade Estadual de Campinas (NEPO-UNICAMP) e do Instituto de Pesquisa Econ?mica Aplicada (IPEA). A an?lise dos servi?os e benef?cios socioassistenciais se deu a partir dos relat?rios de execu??o anual da pol?tica de assist?ncia social em Campinas e pelos dados do Minist?rio do Desenvolvimento Social (MDS).

A questão que motivou esta tese talvez seja o desafio maior de compreender a complexidade das relações entre seres humanos e o meio físico aproximando diferentes processos envolvidos nessas interações e as ações de projetos na cidade, principalmente nas regiões que sofreram o impacto da efervescência da urbanização nas décadas de 1970/1980, sendo o Bairro dos Alvarenga um exemplo marcante deste momento. A conjuntura dos diferentes processos leva a implicações significativas na concepção das paisagens e ao longo do tempo a adaptação do homem à paisagem e da paisagem às necessidades do homem. O objetivo da Tese nasce da intenção de subsidiar diretrizes para intervenções no território com a responsabilidade do complexo diagnóstico necessário ao desenvolvimento ambiental urbano social econômico numa abordagem sistêmica que possa representar o conjunto de todas as ações propostas e mais ainda, para a emergência capaz de relacionar múltiplos aspectos, entendendo ser preciso um elemento ordenador das diversas intervenções. Dentro deste contexto, numa perspectiva integradora de ocupação, ações de projetos, infraestruturas urbanas e organização do espaço, priorizando a qualidade ambiental, adotou-se como hipótese a rede de infraestrutura verde como elemento estruturador, e nesse sentido, respondendo através de seus instrumentos e diretrizes, o novo paradigma da cidade sustentável. / The question that motivated this thesis may be the challenge to understand the complexity of the relations between human beings and the physical environment, approaching different processes involved in these interactions and actions of projects in the city, especially in regions that have suffered the impact of the urbanization boom during the 1970/1980 decades, being the neighborhood Bairro Dos Alvarenga a striking example of this moment. The conjuncture of the different processes lead to significant implications in the design of landscapes and over time the adaptation of man to the landscape and the landscape to human needs. The objective of the thesis is born of the intention to provide guidelines for interventions in the territory with a complex diagnostic responsibility required for the environmental, urban, social and economic development, in a systemic approach that can represent the set of all proposed actions and even more for emergency be able to relate multiple aspects, understanding the need of an ordering element of the various interventions. Within this context, in an integrative perspective of occupation, project actions, urban infrastructure and spatial organization, prioritizing environmental quality, it was adopted as an hypothesis the green infrastructure network as the organizer, and in that sense, responding through its instruments and guidelines, to the new paradigm of the sustainable city.

This work aims to study the bicycle as a viable mode of transportation for the transformation of the current model of Brazilian cities in more sustainable cities. To contribute with cycle planning being formulated by the Municipality of Campinas, check the actions consistent with national public policies with regard to mobility by bicycle, and compare the proposed Plan of Cycle Path infrastructure with data of bike displacement Origin and Destination Survey 2003 and data of accidents involving cyclists in the period from 2000 to 2011 in the city of Campinas. As a result of reading the city of Campinas, it was realized that there are incentives being implemented for bicycle use, however, these incentives are being deployed in a non-integrated and disconnected with other modal and urban policies. Finally, as a practical example of the insertion of the bicycle in urban mobility, it was designed a prototype educational map of central Bar?o Geraldo district, as a mean of information for safe transit, for sustainable mobility and a city for people. / O problema da circula??o urbana nas cidades brasileiras tornou-se insustent?vel, trazendo uma crise de mobilidade, atingindo esferas sociais, ambientais e econ?micas. Este trabalho tem por objetivo principal estudar a bicicleta como um meio de transporte vi?vel para a transforma??o do atual modelo das cidades brasileiras em cidades mais sustent?veis. Objetivando contribuir com o planejamento ciclovi?rio que est? sendo formulado pelo munic?pio de Campinas, o trabalho pretende verificar as a??es condizentes com as pol?ticas p?blicas nacionais no que se refere ? mobilidade por bicicleta, comparando as propostas de infraestruturas do Plano Ciclovi?rio de Campinas com os dados de deslocamento de bicicleta da Pesquisa Origem e Destino 2003 e com os dados de acidentes ocorridos com ciclistas no per?odo de 2000 a 2011. Como resultado da leitura do munic?pio de Campinas, avaliou-se que existem incentivos sendo concretizados para o uso da bicicleta, entretanto, esses incentivos est?o sendo implantados de forma n?o integrada e desconexa com os demais modais e pol?ticas urbana. Por fim, como exemplo pr?tico da inser??o da bicicleta na mobilidade urbana, foi elaborado um prot?tipo de mapa educativo da regi?o central do Distrito de Bar?o Geraldo, como meio de informa??o para tr?nsito seguro, por uma mobilidade sustent?vel e por uma cidade para pessoas.

A busca por alternativas que permitam a boa interação entre as cidades, população e cursos hídricos é emergente. Na tentativa de avaliar esta sistemática, algumas das Certificações Ambientais mais difundidas mundialmente vem desenvolvendo certificados de sustentabilidade próprios para o contexto urbano. Apesar disso, estas certificações não abordam as questões hídricas de modo específico, uma vez que avaliam a sustentabilidade urbana em seus mais variados aspectos. Com o objetivo de elaborar o Índice de Avaliação do Desempenho Hídrico - IADH, baseado nos critérios de avaliação presentes nas Certificações Ambientais, visando o desenvolvimento de Cidades Sustentáveis, esta pesquisa justifica-se pela carência das Certificações Ambientais existentes quanto à avaliação do desempenho hídrico urbano. Além disso, a gestão sustentável dos recursos hídricos é uma necessidade emergente nas cidades brasileiras. Para tanto, realizou-se um estudo de caso em alguns setores da zona urbana do município de Sapiranga/RS, cujos resultados atenderam às premissas da análise. Entretanto, alguns dos critérios de avaliação não foram apurados, pois os mesmos não faziam parte do contexto urbano analisado, apontando para uma realidade inconsistente com os preceitos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável. / Managing urban waters in a sustainable way has been a challenge for urban planners all over the world. The search of alternatives that allow good interaction between cities, population and water courses is emergent. In an attempt to evaluate this systematics, some of the most widespread Environmental Certifications worldwide have been developing sustainability certificates that are appropriate to the urban context. However, these certifications do not address water issues in a specific way, as they assess urban sustainability in it´s most varied aspects. With the objective of elaborating the Water Performance Index - IADH, based on the evaluation criteria present in the Environmental Certifications, aiming the development of Sustainable Cities, this research is justified by the lack of existing Environmental Certifications regarding the evaluation of the urban water performance. In addition, the sustainable management of water resources is an emergent need in Brazilian cities. For this, a study case was carried out in some sectors of the urban area in the city of Sapiranga / RS, whose results met the assumptions of the analysis. However, some of the evaluation criteria were not verified, as they were not part of the analyzed urban context, pointing to a reality that is inconsistent with the context of Sustainable Development.

The link which this thesis aims at demonstrating withdraws parcel of the discretionary power the Public Administration had to manage its assets directly or by means of granting the private use of the public assets on behalf of a private party. The reduction of the discretionary power results from the necessity of the Public Administration, especially the Municipality, of performing actions and activities aiming at achieving the goals of the urban development policies set forth in the Brazilian Federal Constitution and, in doing so, abiding by the general guidelines provided in the City Act (in Portuguese, Estatuto da Cidade ). Therefore, from an analysis of the current scenario of the Brazilian cities and their relationship with the right to sustainable cities, this thesis aims at defining the so-called social functions of the city . It also aims at establishing the relationship of the city`s social functions with the right to sustainable cities and the social rights, in order to define, by means of the exercise of the public functions which require broad popular participation the way the content and the shape of the intended development of the social functions of the city influence the uses of the public assets and limit the discretionary power of the Public Administration to manage the public assets, directly or by means of grants of the use of such assets by private parties. The goal is to contribute with the ones who require clear and effective fulfillment of the objectives and purposes of the public policy legally formed for the urban development of the Brazilian cities. The preparation of this thesis was based on a systematic interpretation of the applicable constitutional and legal provisions, and also an analysis of Scholar`s opinions and judicial precedents related to the core matter under analysis / A presente tese tem como objetivo demonstrar que a gestão de bens públicos encontra-se vinculada ao desenvolvimento das funções sociais da cidade, como exigido na Constituição Federal e nas leis de regência. A vinculação - que se pretende demonstrar - retira parcela da discricionariedade que o Poder Público detinha para gerir diretamente ou por meio de outorga de uso privativo de bem público em favor de particular. Isso decorreria da necessidade de a Administração Pública, em especial a municipal, empreender ações e atividades voltadas a concretização dos objetivos da política de desenvolvimento urbano traçados no Texto Constitucional e, para isso, devendo observar as diretrizes gerais insculpidas no Estatuto da Cidade. Assim, de uma análise do quadro atual das cidades brasileiras e sua relação com direito a cidades sustentáveis, busca-se conceituar as chamadas funções sociais da cidade , relacionando-as com o direito a cidades sustentáveis e os direitos sociais, para que se possa delimitar por meio do exercício de funções públicas que demandam ampla participação popular o conteúdo e a forma como o desenvolvimento pretendido das citadas funções sociais da cidade incidem sobre os usos de bens públicos e retiram parcela do poder discricionário do Poder Público para gerir os bens sob seu domínio, seja diretamente ou por meio de instrumentos de outorga de uso por particulares. Busca-se, assim, contribuir com aqueles que demandam claro e efetivo atendimento dos objetivos e finalidades da política pública juridicamente constituída para o desenvolvimento urbano das cidades brasileiras. Realizou-se o presente estudo utilizando-se de uma interpretação sistemática das disposições constitucionais e legais incidentes no tema e, também, de uma análise das posições doutrinárias e jurisprudências relacionadas com o ponto central estudado
