Urban planning; Democracy; Public policy.
The idea of the right to the city as a human right, in turn, was debated worldwide, at the end of the 20th century, with the presentation of the World Charter for the Right to the City of the World Social Forum (2006), which highlighted the need to protect the rights of the man in the urban environment. This research has as general objective to analyze the right to the city and urban mobility of people with disabilities in the city of João Pessoa - PB and specifically to understand the legal evolution that protects the rights of these human beings; analyze the public policies that contribute to the maintenance of these people in society and finally investigate how urban mobility policies are thought in João Pessoa - PB. When approaching the theme of the city, it is necessary to understand that the object of study is inserted in a completely multidimensional field that involves several legal, social and political interfaces. To substantiate the state of the art, we will use the main notions and theories about the city discussed by Henri Lefebvre and David Harvey and the contributions of Ermínia Maricato, Marcelo Lopes de Sousa, Amartyan Sen, Manuel Castells, and other authors that address issues related to democracy, development and public policies. . The methodology used will be documentary, in view of the official documents of the municipality and other special legislation that addresses the subject. The bibliographic research will also be present given the vast literary collection on the right to the city, accessibility, inclusion and mobility. When a city establishes an urban mobility policy that aims to promote the right of all citizens as a form of human and social development for its citizens, it reduces the obstacles that prevent the individual from enjoying public space and contributes to the incorporation of Citizenship functions.
