In theory, urban planning is a process of elaborating solutions that aim both to improve or requalify an existing urban area, as well as to create a new urbanization in a given region. As a discipline and as a method of action, urban planning deals with the processes of production, structuring and appropriation of urban space. In this sense, its main objective is to point out what measures should be taken to improve the quality of life of the inhabitants, including matters such as transport, security, access opportunities and even interaction with the natural environment.
In the urban planning process, therefore, problems arising from urbanization are dealt with, such as pollution, traffic jam, urban voids, ecological impacts, making it essential in the current context in which much is discussed about the future of cities and the aspirations of sustainability and mobility as a way of fighting climate change.
