Abstract

Sustainability today assumes a prominent place among the most diverse subjects, because their understanding is reflected in the various areas of knowledge, in several instances and multiple modes of urban life. Thus, the theme leads many experts to understand or even try to develop solutions "remedial", or apply at present, plans and projects in the recent past were unsuccessful, when in fact the policies that would suck decisions "preventive." It is no coincidence that the social and political speculations in this field acquired significance beyond their expectations. In other words, the transformation of cities began to determine human values, or, changes in ethical positioning and moral citizens. This paper aims to discuss the issue of sustainability in the Brazilian cities, with a more specific focus on urban space that demands a series of structural conflicts.
