Processo de expansão versus sustentabilidade urbana: reflexão sobre as alternativas dedeslocamento na cidade de João Pessoa, PB

Abstract

This paper examines issues of expansion of mid-sized cities, such as João Pessoa, capital of the State of Paraiba, in order to verify the performance of different segments of civil society, of private initiative and public sector and its contributions to the deployment of a sprawling growth model. This study compares the car-road model to the precepts espoused by an opposed line of thought, the "urban sustainability".
