TOWARDS SUSTAINABILITY: THE EVOLUTION OF GUANAMBI COMPARED TO CURITIBA

Abstract

This article performs a comparative analysis between Curitiba and Guanambi, with the objective of identifying the sustainable urban practices adopted by Curitiba that can serve as a reference for the development of Guanambi. Through a bibliographic research, fundamental areas such as urban mobility, waste management, citizen participation and the use of technologies are examined, highlighting the opportunities and challenges for Guanambi. Curitiba, widely recognized as a sustainable city, has implemented innovative solutions that have transformed its urban structure and quality of life. By contrast, Guanambi still faces significant obstacles, especially in terms of public transport, environmental management and infrastructure. The objective of the article is to propose alternatives for Guanambi to adopt sustainability practices adapted to its regional characteristics, strengthening public management, promoting environmental education and encouraging the participation of the population. Throughout the analysis, it is concluded that Guanambi has the potential to follow a sustainable development trajectory, as long as it invests in innovative solutions and integrated public policies, with the active participation of its community. In this way, the city can walk its path towards sustainability and promote a more balanced and inclusive future.
