Consistency of planning and urban management in the metropolitan area of Brasília

Abstract

Instruments of urban planning and management in the control of land use and incidence in urban dynamics are problematized. Master Plans, Zoning, and Construction Permits are used as research sources. The Metropolitan Area of Brasília (AMB) - Federal District (DF) and twelve contiguous Goiás municipalities - is the research territory. Data are collected in the cities: Taguatinga/DF, Samambaia/DF and Planaltina/GO, applying methodological procedures: i) collecting the construction permits from 2013 - 2016; ii) organization of data in spreadsheets and annual mapping of buildings by use and size in the period; iii) analysis of urban growth: its consistency with the Master Plan and Zoning. It concludes with the limitation of planning instruments in guiding urban growth, by reaffirming construction permits as reliable empirical indicators for urban dynamics analysis, and the need for integrated territorial planning and management.
