The overall vision that guides the Strategic Planning process is people-centered, to ensure a safe and healthy environment. Thus, strategic and specific objectives were established on thematic areas, such as: energy management, investments, waste management resources, mobility, green-blue infrastructure, transport, urbanism, etc.
