Overview

  • The plan arrived on October 29 under an urgency request and is now with the Special Commission led by Benigno Júnior, with Bruno Mesquita serving as rapporteur.
  • Léo Couto, the council president, aims to secure final approval before the year-end recess, working toward a December 22 vote.
  • The proposal spans 619 articles and would end a six-year lapse in updating Fortaleza’s 10‑year urban planning framework.
  • Roughly 170 of 173 changes approved at the City Conference were incorporated, including an environmental protection zone around the airport that councilors expect to revisit.
  • Substantive shifts expand ZEIS from 45 to 87, increase protected areas, create a cultural heritage fund, concentrate high-rises in areas with infrastructure, and reduce basic development rights in parts of Meireles, Mucuripe and Aldeota.
