Abstract

This work aims at verifying how the issue about sustainable development was posed in Belo Horizonte´s Directory Master Plan and in the Land Development, Occupation and Use Law, whilst urban environment policies instruments to establish dispositions to deal with the emission of greenhouse effect gases, the maintainance of climate and the urban drainage system, what has been done, mainly, via the urban parameter of the permeability rate. The acknowledgement of how this parameter has been stipulated, the way it´s been implemented, and it´s effects, to the urbanscape, inclusively, is considered to be important to understanding the limited grade of success it has been achieved with the launching of such policy, highlighting the need for recognition of a myriad of issues related to urban management and of a vast array of planning appliances, related both to the political and technical ground, as a means of stablishing more strict and measurable objectives, capable of being gauged in their results and efficacity, so to allow for the policy to be noticed as something with aggregated social value.
