Advances in Urban Policy in Belo Horizonte: Reducing Inequalities
Held in a hybrid format, the discussion panels on Advances in Urban Policy in Belo Horizonte aim to present and debate the main strategies adopted by the city to promote fairer and more inclusive urban development.
The initiative brings together experts and public managers to discuss topics related to the reduction of socio-spatial inequalities, the promotion of economic development across the municipal territory, and the response to contemporary environmental and climate challenges. Aligned with the New Urban Agenda of UN-Habitat and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Belo Horizonte’s urban policy has been structured around technical studies, georeferenced data, social participation, and continuous monitoring of legislation. Programs such as the Centralities Qualification Program, the Izidora Sustainable Urbanization Plan, and the Strategic Development Program for the Jatobá Region exemplify the city’s commitment to building a more balanced, resilient, and community-oriented city.
