Abstract

This monograph analyzes the recent changes carried on the municipal law of urban development, the Participatory Master Plan of Fortaleza, seeking to verify whether or not they favor the fulfillment of the right to the city in the capital city of Ceara. Speaks about the Brazilian urban issue and brings a conceptualization of the right to the city, demonstrating the ways it is presented in the national and municipal laws. This work analyzes the political divide between the social classes in the city of Fortaleza to understand what interests the changes in the Master Plan are subjected to. The methodology consisted of bibliographic and documentary research, enhanced by the author's experience as a member of the Center for Community Legal Advice (NAJUC) who accompanied the process of creation of the plan in question and witnessed the political debate that took place at the time. There are still some comments on the process of urbanization in Brazil and specifically in Fortaleza, in order to understand the basis of some of the social problems faced in Brazilian cities today.
