O direito urbanístico e a prevenção da violência urbana: desafios e possibilidades à luz do ordenamento jurídico brasileiro

Abstract

The article presents challenges and possibilities for reflection to think about the theme of violence with others, based on interdisciplinarity and dialogue with Urban Law. It discusses, through a dialectical approach, the Brazilian urbanization, and its legal aspects. This is because a large part of Brazilian cities grew in a disorderly way, without planning, and so resulting in the urban confusion in which we find ourselves today, resulting in social consequences that directly reflect on the public safety of these cities. Therefore, the study aims to take a critical look at the way of thinking about the city and urban violence. It analyzes the role of Urban Law in implementing instruments that aim to supply a more humanized and peaceful city, and as a means of citizenship and not an incentive to criminality. It is seen the complexity of urban public policy and actions of public managers for the implementation of instruments provided for in the Statute of Cities and other urban legislation. It is concluded that it is urgent to think about a more democratic regularization of urban space, aiming to bring public safety to the entire population and fulfill the true social function of cities.
