É nós na pista! Uma proposta de alteração de uso de um trecho da avenida Beira-Mar em Imbé (RS)

Abstract

At the beginning of the 21st century, questions relating to the concepts of sustainability and sustainable development emerged in the public sphere. Based on a bibliographical survey, this article presents how discussions about these concepts developed, focusing on the way in which the culture variable was incorporated into their formulations. Analyzing the local reality, it outlines a public policy proposal that proposes the closure and change of use of a section of Avenida Beira-Mar, in Imbé (RS), seeking to incorporate the debate on sustainability into the municipal agenda and urban policy. Finally, it presents the following components of the public policy proposal: a draft municipal law, a survey of affected stakeholders, a primary institutional arrangement scheme to support the policy and maps locating the area suggested for its implementation.
