City Statute (Brazil)

The City Statute of Brazil ( Estatuto da Cidade in Portuguese (Law No. 10.257 of July 10, 2001)) is the Brazilian framework law for urban development . The city statute (also known as the city statute) regulates the chapter "Urban Policy" (Articles 182 and 183) of the Brazilian Federal Constitution of 1988.

The emergence of this law was the result of long-standing efforts by diverse urban social movements. As early as 1988, Senator Pompeu de Sousa (1914–1991) introduced a legislative proposal on the occasion of the constituent national assembly, submitted it to the Federal Senate in 1989 and brought it to the Chamber of Deputies for negotiation the following year . It was introduced again in 1999 by the former Senator Inácio Arruda , chairman of the Chamber of Deputies' Urban Development Commission ( Comissão de Desenvolvimento Urbano da Câmara dos Deputados do Brasil ) and signed by President Fernando Henrique Cardoso in 2001 .

structure

The city statute contains five chapters:

(I). General guidelines (Articles 1 to 3);
(II). Urban policy instruments (Articles 4 to 38);
(III). The master plan (Articles 39 to 42);
(IV). Democratic administration of the city (Articles 43 to 45); and
