A omissão na execução de planos urbanísticos e a responsabilidade civil dos municípios

Abstract

The disorganised and dispersed territorial occupation inherited from the first generation of Municipal Master Plans led to a rethink of urban planning. The focus has shifted to the systematic and coordinated implementation of plans, namely through the delimitation of implementation units. Even so, municipalities, as the ones responsible for planning, have made the actual implementation of plans dependent on certain conditions, often not controllable by owners individually (namely, consensus between private individuals). This problem, which affects the feasibility of the plans, requires na active behaviour from the municipalities. The question that arises is whether it is possible, given the discretionary nature of planning, to create a real legal duty for municipalities to systematically implement plans. And whether they can be held liable for non-compliance, even if it is due to omission.
