JARDIM LAPENA NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN The Neighborhood Plan and the Pacto pelas Cidades Justas initiative in Lapena

Abstract

This article aims to present the elaboration process of the Jardim Lapena Neighborhood Plan, the results obtained, and discuss the actions that aim at the continuity of the process of urban requalification, in the context of the Movimento Pacto pela Cidades Justas. What would be the next steps for the territorialization of the Neighborhood Plan is the question stated. The hypothesis sustained in this article is that the third sector, more than the public power, has the necessary flexibility to assume the role of promoting innovation in vulnerable territories, proposing situations and creative solutions that are tested and systematized before being presented to the public power.

Keywords: Neighborhood Plan; urban requalification; urban governance.
