Territories in Transformation: Challenges and Perspectives in Sustainable Space Planning and Planning

This article addresses the importance of territorial planning and ordering, highlighting the influence of works such as "Right to participation in urban policies: advances after 15 years of city statute", "For Another Globalization: From Single Thought to Universal Consciousness" and "Experiences in Urban Territorial Planning in Latin America: the context of Brazil”. The understanding of territory as a dynamic product of social actions highlights territorialization as intrinsic to the reorganization of territorial information and social stratification. The analysis of power relations, according to Raffestin and Saquet, reveals political-ideological conflicts in the territory. Settlements, as products of complex power relations, highlight the struggle for land and social inequalities. The rational management of natural resources, aligned with sustainability, is vital to balance environmental preservation and social equity. The main objective of the article is to analyze the resistance of the settlers, highlighting their difficulties and exploring the potential of public policies to improve their living conditions, contributing to the understanding of the dynamics of territorial planning.
