Municipal Goal Plans
The Goal Plans are urban planning instruments published by the mayors (port. Prefeitos) once they are elected for office in a city. The Plans must be presented within a period of approximately 90 days after taking office and they must reflect the commitments assumed during the electoral campaigns as well as the electoral programs officially presented by their candidacies. After its presentation and publication in the official gazette of each city, they must foresee a hearing or deliberation instance with the citizens to discuss its content and eventually adapt it. In addition, municipal governments must publish statistics regularly that allow monitoring of the goals. The terms and forms for these stages must be provided for by municipal legislation. So far, 55 Brazilian cities have regulated goal plans, with Sao Paulo being the first one to implement them in 2009.
