Abstract: This paper discusses aspects of urban design teaching that restrict its permeability to green infrastructure concepts and regional planning instruments. Through an experiment with the urban design studio ‘Designing the Trama Verde Azul (TVA)’, it presents the experience of studio teaching related to the regional planning of the Belo Horizonte Metropolitan Region in line with green infrastructure concepts. This paper highlights that the viability of experiments of this kind is determined by (i) the proximity between community and environmental demands, (ii) planning and project scale articulation, (iii) place specificity, (iv) interdisciplinary dialogue, (iv) social inclusion, and (v) urban forms determined by connectivity, access to nature, and multi-functionality.
