ALBERNAZ, Maria Paula. For a sustainable urbanism: An approach to the lived experiences in the centralities of the carioca suburbs. CIDADES [online]. 2021, vol.sp21, pp.174-190.  Epub 15-Abr-2021. ISSN 2182-3030.  https://doi.org/10.15847/cct.20499.

This article aims to reflect about sustainable urban planning and project, focusing on situations identified in suburban centralities. It evaluates the impact on urban space of particular processes and singular dynamics that occur in the suburbs of Bonsucesso, Ramos and Olaria, in the Metropolis of Rio de Janeiro. They are faced to territorial planning tools applied to these localities with low adhesion, compromising a desirable sustainability. Our theoretical background is the critic towards traditional territorial planning and urban policies that prioritize economic productivity undermining local experience, and the notion of sustainability. It is complemented by the understanding of centrality not just a geographical and functional notion, but comprising social and cultural contempt. There are three approaches in the investigation: one emphasizes public and private actions in urban scale; other focus on particularities of the processes in local scale; another highlights daily experiences in the micro-local scale. The area of study choice relies on the condition to be metropolitan spaces despised in public and private investments, meaning to be receptive to alternative dynamics that avoid low income people to be displaced. It is also motivated by their ranking in a recent metropolitan plan as an important regional sub-centre. We conclude with an invitation to articulate alternative rationalities to construct a sustainability notion, besides the search to recover the political dimension for sustainable urban planning and project through understanding the urban reality’s complexities, based on the lived experiences, and in the inclusiveness in the process of local agents.
