Public policies, planning and generation of sustainable urban development: Importance and multiple forms of interactions

Abstract

Public policy performs an important role as a guiding tool for planning and involves the most diverse social actors in search of common solutions to urban problems that affect the collective interest, considering the feasibility of the sustainable urban development project requires equally collective efforts. Understand the existing interactions between public policy, planning and urban development as a facilitating element in the process of implementing public such policies. In this sense, the objective of the article is to discuss the importance of multiple forms of interactions between public policies and planning for the generation of sustainable urban development, structuring itself as a theoretical essay, based on the inferences of authors such as Casula (2017) on public policies; Castro et al. (2014) on public policy connections and development; Saravia (2006) and Bresser Pereira et al. (1998) on public management; Philippi Junior (2012) and Acselrad (1999) on sustainable development, among other important contributions that deal with urban studies. The information was organized and based on theoretical bases published from the 1990s onwards, addressing the theme from a metropolitan-urban perspective. The results obtained point to the need to align urban planning with public policies, thus involving the effective participation of society in decisions about them, with the primary objective of underpinning sustainable urban development.
