Abstract

Resumo: A transição para um mundo predominantemente urbano, segundo as estimativas da ONU, nos coloca frente a novos desafios para entender os processos sociais e espaciais que se configuram nas aglomerações urbanas
brasileiras. Portanto, a incorporação de abordagens que incluam a dinâmica
regional e espacial é fundamental para ampliar o escopo dos estudos
urbanos. A partir deste trabalho, resgatamos a abordagem do urban sprawl
da literatura norte-americana no objetivo de entender quais são as suas
contribuições para o caso brasileiro, colocando um novo conjunto de
questões onde a preocupação com as mudanças ambientais se torna cada
vez mais presente na vida cotidiana.
                
ARE THERE NEW OUTLINES OF THE BRAZILIAN URBAN GROWTH? THE URBAN SPRAWL CONCEPT AND THE CHALLENGES FOR THE REGIONAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING


Abstract: The transition for a predominantly urban world, accordingly UN
estimative, put us into new challenges to understand the social and spatial
processes that are being configured in Brazilian urban agglomerations.
Therefore, incorporating approaches that include regional and spatial
dynamics is fundamental to extend the urban studies field. Through this
paper we review the approach of urban sprawl from the US literature to
understand which are its main contributions to the Brazilian case,
presenting a new group of questions where the concern with environmental
change become much more present in everyday life.
