Abstract

Slum upgrading comprehensive plans and urban regularization plans are two planning tools used to promote integrated interventions in Brazilian slums and illegal settlements. Aiming at urban improvements as well as land regularization and community development, these plans have been, however, criticized for being too technical, time consuming, expensive, and top-down oriented, lacking sufficient participation to achieve community consensus on priorities, under severe budget restrictions in complex and fast changing realities. This chapter discusses the results of recent experiences in Belo Horizonte, Brazil using Geodesign framework and geovisualization strategies for collaborative planning in two illegal settlements: Maria Tereza (2016) and the Dandara (2018). A methodology for regularization plans was developed, and improvements to the Geodesign interface were tested with the use of open source Web Maps. Both experiences brought evidence on how the use of the proposed framework may enhance citizens' participation and improve planning methods based on social and community values.
