Land use planning is a critical tool in Brazilian urban development, particularly in rapidly expanding cities like São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Brasília. The concept gained prominence in Brazil during the 1960s-1970s with the development of modernist urban planning principles. In the USA, land use planning is deeply embedded in municipal governance, with zoning being a primary mechanism. The Brazilian approach often emphasizes integrated master plans (planos diretores) for municipalities, while the US system relies heavily on localized zoning regulations.
