Abstract
In 2009, the Federal University of Minas Gerais – UFMG was hired by the Minas Gerais State Government to develop the Integrated Development Plan for the Belo Horizonte Metropolitan Region – PDDI-RMBH, ending in 2011. In 2013, UFMG was once more hired to develop the Metropolitan Macrozoning Project – MZ-RMBH, one of the various action programs contained within the twenty-eight major metropolitan policies designed by the PDDI. It ended in 2015.
In that context, the UFMG team also began to implement another action program – the LUMEs – Places of Metropolitan Urbanity, a program conceived within the PDDI as a way to "organize and disseminate information and knowledge produced within the Metropolitan Plan, as well as access to the discussion of metropolitan priorities in order to guarantee participation and integration of different metropolitan agents in the metropolitan planning system.”
The LUMEs Program relies on the perspective that planning must consider "in an unquestionable way the centrality of the subject in the civitas, absolute and local, but also and mostly, in the expanded urban space – the "metropolitan civitas" – implying the construction of a sense of identity and the strengthening of citizenship, now in an urban-regional scale." (CEDEPLAR 2011: 33).
