Sustainable Transportoriented development BRT : public transportation corridors Reduce the need for long distance commuting, aiming to reduce automotive vehicles displacements and giving preference for walking and public transport displacements. Trade and services decentralization
Qualified Neighbourhood Unit Conformation of public enjoyment areas, contiguous spaces to the public space destined to the expansion of green areas and to the creation of squares for collective use. Conformation of neighbourhood units for the access of every citizen to their daily demands, walking, cycling or by the combination of these displacements with the public transport.
Sustainability Factor Stimulate sustainable construction practices. minimum permeable and vegetated area, implanted in natural terrain, in all Requirement of enterprises.
Environmental structure Protection areas and green connections 64 PA1 Areas of high environmental and landscape protection, aiming the environmental preserve and recovery. 930 km Green Connections Green connections between preservation and conservation areas, or open spaces for public use. PA2 PA3 28 km² Protection Possibility of compatibilization of environmental attributes with occupation and use. 94 = 11,9 km² areas of bottom of valleys connections of the bottom of the valleys with quality restauration of the water course, intervention in preservation areas and formation of linear parks.

Challenges main Territory disconnected from the urban nucleus of the capital Extreme environmental relevance Great possibilities for expanding occupations because they are surrounded by vacant plots Accelerated transformation dynamics
Urban Project sustainable sustainable consolidation of existing settlements protection production of areas of great environment al importance protected areas environmental relevanceassociated with food security projects, through agro-ecological production and extraction in existing forests, to generate income for the local community union with the local community innovation in policies aimed at precarious settlements with implantation of sustainable technologies and strategies related to the generation of local and renewable energy (solar energy), water reuse, electric transport, among others
Actions in progress Sustainable Territories Izidora Mapping of headwaters to build an environmental recovery program Participatory agro-environmental mapping Technical training workshops for the residents and joint effort of setting up agroforestry gardens Consolidation of the Agroecological and Environmental Forum in Izidora
