OBJECTIVE:
The Metropolitan area, as the local environmental
authority, framed the green belt as a long term strategy of environmental
protection of the strategic protection of ecological networks. The strategy is
structured in three levels: a) the strips of strict preservation of
environmental services sites (zero order watersheds), b) the strips of
urban-rural transition (areas of land market pressures and mining activities),
and c) the transversal connections of water systems. Besides, AMVA presented
the pilot projects of metropolitan parks embedded in the green belt strategy as
a way to connect urban areas with natural surroundings. On the other hand, the
Planning Department presented the role of the strategic urban projects
in the review process of the general territorial plan (POT). The
focus of the discussion was the border typologies and the premises to intervene
the green belt pilot projects.
