Verticalização, impactos climáticos e Florestania Urbana: uma análise da limitação dos instrumentos de planejamento urbano na proteção do microclima costeiro de Santos (SP)

The intensifying verticalization of the Santos (SP) waterfront reopens the question of whether urban planning instruments sufficiently protect the coastal microclimate. Examining the Master Plan, the Land-Use Law, the Neighborhood Impact Study, and the Santos Climate Action Plan, this article finds that the Municipality already names the climate concern but has not converted it into a binding licensing criterion for the waterfront zone. Drawing on Urban Florestania, it proposes a socio-environmental adequacy matrix exposing this operational gap and suggesting paths for regulatory improvement.
