O regime de proteção dos corredores ecológicos e naturais urbanos e os planos diretores municipais

Abstract

The following article addresses the importance and growing need for city plans to incorporate the permanent protection areas and ecological corridors conformations and policies in their terms, as configured in the legal system in the face of a systemic and ecological interpretation of the law. This perspective aims towards protecting natural and ecological corridors and, to an extent, the biodiversity in them, from human urban development inside the biomes, but also aims at reducing the vulnerability of these areas to climate change and climate disasters. The article is structured around topics ranging from the the integration of ambiental law with urbanistic law in the scope of urban green spaces, the integration of ecological corridors in urban space, the relation of city plans with ecological corridors and, finally, considerations on the importance and relevance uniting ecological corridors and city planning in Brazil.
