The presentation raises issues related to metropolitan planning in Brazil and its possibilities to promote social inclusion and environmental justice. It is only recently, in 2015, that metropolitan planning returned to the planning scene as a scale to be taken into account by plans, policies and social movements. This change sometimes competes with the strong municipal turn adopted by the Brazilian urban policy since the 1988 Constitution and the 2001 City Statute. The discussion will be based on the recent experience of metropolitan planning for the region of Belo Horizonte carried out as a university extension activity in close dialogue with social movements and metropolitan institutions.
