RESUMO

This research aims to orient the actions of public policies regarding urban renewal and associated environmental valorization. Urban renewal seeks to recover the quality of the inhabited environment in order to improve the quality of human life. We cannot think about this without considering the natural landscape, which always interferes directly or indirectly with this condition. The objective is to develop technical and methodological procedures that will support the elaboration of directives for urban renewal and environmental valorization, through planning and management, whose guiding principles allow the municipalities to identify their characteristics, their critical points, and their needs for renewal, leading them to draft the summary of the municipal renewal project in its territory. To control the efficacy of the actions and the diagnosis of the current situation, it will be necessary to create Environmental and Urban Indicators which will mark the entire process of quality improvement of the municipalities. Such instruments are also intended to be the communication channel between the community and its manager. Cities today are developed in a linear growth system, without the necessary replenishment of primary environmental sources. The inversion of this linearity, with the introduction of urban growth in an environmental cycle in which its ecosystem is always nurtured, will avoid the degradation of the natural environment. The city must have its urban expansion limited, with the creation of recycling incentives for the use of urban soil, before any urban expansion is initiated. The creation or expansion of urban agglomerations must be planned through means of sustainability, where not only is its construction planned, but also its use, maintenance, and disassembly, but not its demolition. The constructive processes and elements must be chosen taking into consideration the entire life cycle of the urban space. The research adopts the Polis Program â Urban Renewal and Environmental Valorization of the Cities Program, currently at work in Portugal, as a reference for the definition of the research components. Within the realm of municipal action, the program intends to implant a certain limited number of actions that can as a whole lead the municipality to the goal of sustainability, creating a series of public policies that allow the continuity of this development over a long term. As a case study, municipalities located in the basin of the Paraitinga River are being utilized. This is a historic region in the ParaÃba Valley in the State of SÃo Paulo, Brazil. This region gets its name from the ParaÃba do Sul River, which flows throughout the region, and is flanked by the Mantiqueira Mountain Range to the west, and by Mar Mountain Range to the east, both regions with a predominance of Atlantic Forest vegetation.
