description The attempt to conciliate nature protection and its use isconsidered as a challenge to sustainability in the currentcontext. There are different criteria and concepts to be appliedso the environmental challenge becomes an opportunity ratherthan a factor generating unsustainability within cities. In orderto achieve the ideals of urban sustainability, social andenvironmental concerns must be conjugated, based onintegrated policies. Furthermore, it must be considered thatdue to the multiplicity of the involved agents, social issuessuch as health, employment and housing cannot be set aside.The question that is placed than is if it is possible to speak interms of sustainable cities, or if sustainability surpasses theboundaries of cities, whose social and space relations alreadyhave exceeded the municipal scale.

A tentativa de conciliar a proteção da natureza e a sua utilizaçãoé considerada como um desafio à sustentabilidade nocontexto atual. Há diferentes critérios e conceitos a seremutilizados para que o desafio ambiental se torne uma oportunidade,e não um fator gerador da insustentabilidade das cidades.Para se atingir os ideais de sustentabilidade urbana,devem ser conjugados os interesses sociais e ambientais,baseados em políticas integradas, além de se considerar que,face à multiplicidade dos agentes envolvidos, não poderãoser deixadas de lado questões sociais, como saúde, empregoe moradia. A questão que se coloca é se é possível falarem termos de cidades sustentáveis, ou se a sustentabilidadeextrapola os limites das cidades, cujas relações sociais eespaciais já ultrapassaram a escala municipal. 2006-12-31 2022-03-21T18:24:53Z 2022-03-21T18:24:53Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistas.ufpr.br/raega/article/view/3456 10.5380/raega.v12i0.3456 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/74361 por https://revistas.ufpr.br/raega/article/view/3456/7265 application/pdf UFPR RA'E GA Journal - The Geographic Space in Analysis; v. 12 (2006) Raega - O Espaço Geográfico em Análise; v. 12 (2006) 2177-2738 1516-4136 10.5380/raega.v12i0
