In Portuguese-speaking countries, planning systems are young, both in spatial planning instruments for different scales and in governance structures.

 

Besides that, new problems of aging, scarcity in providing health and education services, unsustainable mobility, and housing pressures all demand new approaches and a multilevel planning system.  This track is dedicated to the discussion of innovations and experiences in addressing these issues.

 

  • How are environmental and sustainable urban development paradigms placed in multilevel and integrated spatial planning approaches?

  • What are the challenges for governance multilevel?
