Abstract

The provision of drinking water and the protection of water resources from pollution are matters of growing concern in our society. The sanitary systems are one of the most important systems in a city, however, in Brazil, the infrastructure available is insufficient for the population’s needs. In addition, the rapid urbanization without satisfactory city planning has led to very high population densities, putting the accommodation capacity of the surrounding urban environment under pressure. In city planning it is preferable to minimize the use of energy and material for any given system, therefore the problem is to adapt urban planning procedures to take into account the need to implement a sustainable sanitary infrastructure. For this purpose the present paper aims to evaluate the expansion of the cities and its potential integration into sanitary systems planning, including water supply and sanitation. An integrated approach involving sanitary systems and city planning is suggested to establish some design system strategies in the light of the criteria for sustainability. These strategies consist the starting point to develop a new planning concept involving sanitary systems and cities.
