O princípio do planejamento urbano como vetor de juridicidade na atividade administrativa

Abstract

This article analyzes the principle of urban planning as a binding vector of legality (juridicidade) in administrative activity, from the perspective of Administrative and Constitutional Law. The central problem lies in the tension between the public manager's discretion and the imperativeness of urban planning norms. Utilizing the deductive method and qualitative research based on a literature review and jurisprudential analysis, the study investigates how the Brazilian legal system - starting from the 1988 Federal Constitution and the City Statute - structures planning as a state duty. The results demonstrate that planning transcends mere technique, configuring itself as a system of sub-principles that limits political discretion and guarantees the social function of property and intergenerational sustainability. It concludes that non-compliance with these vectors authorizes judicial intervention to ensure systemic cohesion and the collective interest.
