Abstract
The Integrated Development Master Plan of the Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte (PDDI-RMBH) was approved in 2011, and it is a fundamental part of the continuous process of metropolitan planning in Minas Gerais. In its reference to small-scale production, it is noteworthy that the Plan takes the thesis of the solidary popular economy as a presupposition for planning. This article intends to explore this issue, a decade after the document was drafted and approved, pointing out the limits and the potential of the popular economy to become the basis for an endogenous development in the metropolis.
