Abstract

The process of urban occupation in the municipality of Almirante Tamandaré is connected to the growth of Curitiba, the capital of the state of Paraná. The main problems are related to urban growth, mining and water exploitation, in a context of karst formation and high declivity rates. Considering that these conflicts expose a contradiction between human activities, the impact they project on the territory, the capacity of the physical environment to support them, and, at the same time, impose limitations upon them. Hence, the article focuses on the city and its limitations to expansion, through an approach that is related to the concept of sustainability
