Abstract: The present study investigates the application of computational methods in sustainable urban
planning, adopting the watershed as the unit of analysis for the city of Fortaleza–CE, Brazil.
Inspired by Ian McHarg’s Design with Nature, the research is grounded in the understanding
of the city as an ecosystem in which natural, urban, and social systems dynamically interact.
The main objective is to develop a workflow based on City Information Modeling (CIM) and
Landscape Information Modeling (LIM) capable of integrating environmental, hydrological,
demographic, and urban comfort data through parametric algorithms, contributing to the
construction of urban quality indicators and to a multiscalar reading of the territory. The first
chapter introduces the theoretical foundations of the research, presenting the concept of the
city as an ecosystem, the research problem, the objectives, and the overall structure of the
dissertation. The second chapter presents the literature review and bibliometric analysis,
discussing the intersections between CIM, LIM, sustainability, and urban ecosystems, as well
as identifying trends and gaps in studies that articulate information modeling, landscape, and
urban planning. The third chapter describes the adopted methodology, detailing the development
of the CIM framework applied to Fortaleza, the procedures for building and integrating the
database, and the stages of parametric modeling and analysis that support the study. The
fourth chapter contextualizes the case study by analyzing the process of urban occupation
in Fortaleza and its correlations with environmental systems, with emphasis on watershed
structures and the impacts of urbanization on natural systems. The fifth chapter concentrates
the main analyses of the dissertation, exploring the watershed as a planning unit through the
cross-analysis of data related to urban dynamics, hydrology, ecosystem services, and socioeconomic
and demographic aspects, highlighting spatial patterns and critical areas for urban
planning. Finally, the sixth chapter discusses the application of the developed framework in the
projection of data-driven urban scenarios, proposing the use of nature as an input for planning
and for nature-based solutions, while

Abstract: This research investigates the impacts of tourist urbanization on the beaches of the
municipality of Trairi/CE-Brazil, located 130 km west of Fortaleza and part of its metropolitan
region, a process that intensified from the 1990s onwards. The study analyzes the
transformations of the coastal landscape resulting from its conversion to the logic of mass
tourism and seasonal occupation. This phenomenon links the production of space to the
tourism economy, redefining uses, functions, and social relations through new developments,
in a densification oriented towards visitors and the implementation of specific infrastructures.
The relational approach adopted considers the premise that tourist urbanization reconfigures
the landscape in an unequal way. In this sense, the landscape is not neutral, as it materializes
social, political, and economic disputes. It is a field of power, where urban planning decisions
define who can or cannot occupy certain spaces. Tourist urbanization is, therefore, selective,
reorganizing the landscape to meet the interests of hegemonic actors, frequently excluding
vulnerable populations. The research methodology, exploratory and interdisciplinary in nature,
proposes a critical investigation based on the documentary analysis of public policies and
empirical analysis, carried out through field observations, photographic surveys, and
interviews. Data collection and representation prioritize the visual and cartographic recording
of the landscape, with the aim of identifying the spatial adjustments that have occurred. The
research results indicate that, although tourist urbanization has driven local economic growth,
this process has also resulted in significant negative impacts on the natural environmental
heritage. These effects are aggravated by real estate speculation and the absence of
integrated local planning capable of articulating urban development, environmental
conservation, and social justice. The increasing privatization of the coastal strip stands out,
resulting from the increased tourist value driven by the connection between public policies, the
real estate market, and tourism promotion strategies, leading to a deepening of territorial,
socio-environmental, and legal asymmetries.

Abstract: This study aims to analyze the public policy of the Growth Acceleration Program – Historic Cities (PAC-CH) through the case study of the municipality of Sobral, in the state of Ceará, Brazil. Created in 2009 by the Federal Government, the PAC-CH sought to articulate cultural heritage preservation actions with urban development initiatives, promoting investments in cities with recognized historical and symbolic value. The research is based on the understanding that, despite its innovative proposal and the expansion of the territorial scope in relation to previous policies, the program faced significant structural and operational challenges during its implementation, particularly within the sphere of local management.
Drawing on the author’s experience as a municipal manager involved in the execution of the program in Sobral, the study discusses obstacles such as bureaucratic delays, difficulties in coordination among different levels of government, and the limitations of municipal institutional capacity. It also reflects on the contradictions between the declared objectives of the policy and its actual results, especially regarding the execution of construction works and the prioritization of structuring actions. The methodological approach combines bibliographic review, documentary analysis, and the collection of empirical data related to the implementation of the PAC-CH in Sobral, enabling a critical examination of the local unfoldings of a national policy. Finally, the study seeks to contribute to the debate on the effectiveness of heritage preservation policies in Brazil, highlighting the role of public management as a key element for the materialization of actions aimed at protecting cultural heritage.

Abstract: Slum upgrading in cities is one of the ways in which urban space is produced as a
result of the historical inequalities of Brazilian society, where the struggle for decent
housing coexists with the apparent absence of the state. In Caucaia, a municipality in
the Metropolitan Region of Fortaleza in Ceará, this process intensified in the 1980s and
continues today, resulting in informal occupations by groups excluded from the real
estate market and impacted by the lack of housing policies. Added to this is the
conurbation caused by the construction of peripheral housing estates during the BNH
period, in areas lacking in infrastructure and services, which led to the expansion of
real estate speculation between Fortaleza and Caucaia, forming extremely precarious
peripheral sectors. As a rule, most of the investment in slum upgrading has taken place
in the capital cities, but conurbations are also an object of research in order to better
understand the challenges of formulating housing policies. In this way, this study aims
to investigate the role of public authorities in tackling slum upgrading in Caucaia. This
analysis is made up of a systematization of different surveys of precarious settlements
in the municipality, favoring the subsequent contextualization and critical reflection of
public policies and programs formulated in the field of slum upgrading, using a
qualitative and exploratory methodological approach. As a result, the research made it
possible to understand some specific dynamics in the municipality of Caucaia in depth,
highlighting the existence of programs that had not previously been addressed in the
literature. It was also possible to observe that the municipality is part of trends observed
in other metropolises, characterized by the emptying of the urban reform ideology, the
simplification of processes and, above all, the reduced prominence given to the
comprehensive urbanization of slums.
