All in all it aims to approach the theme of city planning as an interface with the landscape and the environment. Initially, it seeks to identify the conceptual and institutional set of references which favor this approach as well as the implications of their applicability to the urban environment. Next, it aims to verify the environmental approach in the recent planning process of two nuclear-oriented Brazilian metropolises Londrina and S?o Paulo focusing on the actions and interventions intended for the valleys. It identifies the challenges and opportunities for their restoration and requalification by integrating them into the other urban public policies; hence, the necessity of adopting new, value adding urban paradigms on the remaining natural and urban spaces was made evident. / Esta pesquisa trata da import?ncia da incorpora??o dos recursos naturais como estrat?gia de gest?o no planejamento das cidades.

Inicialmente, busca identificar o referencial conceitual e institucional que vem propiciando esta abordagem e as implica??es da sua aplicabilidade ao ambiente urbano. Num segundo momento, pretende verificar a abordagem ambiental no processo de planejamento urbano recente de duas cidades nucleadoras de metr?poles brasileiras Londrina e S?o Paulo com foco nas a??es e interven??es propostas para os vales. Identifica os desafios e oportunidades para a sua recupera??o e requalifica??o, de forma integrada ?s demais pol?ticas p?blicas urbanas, e evidencia a necessidade de ado??o de novos paradigmas urban?sticos voltados ? valoriza??o dos espa?os remanescentes do meio natural no meio urbano.
