O Município da Praia é o maior de Cabo Verde, com 26,8% da população do país. Trata-se de um Município onde persistem os problemas ambientais ligados à escassez de equipamentos sanitários, ao défice de infraestruturas e de serviços urbanos. O presente artigo tem como objetivo explorar a seguinte questão de pesquisa: Que modelo de gestão urbana está a ser implementado no Município da Praia e até que ponto ele contribui para o seu desenvolvimento sustentável? Para podermos responder a essa questão baseámos a nossa pesquisa numa análise ao mesmo tempo sincrónica, e diacrónica. Adotámos uma abordagem ideográfica e, paralelamente, uma abordagem nomotética. Para além da análise de estatísticas e informações qualitativas, fizemos observações diretas. A pesquisa levou-nos à constatação de que no Município da Praia se está a viver um momento de mudança de paradigma de gestão urbana. Descortinamos indícios de governança e de sustentabilidade urbana.

It is a city where over the environmental problems related to the lack of sanitation, the lack of infrastructure and urban services.

In order to answer this question we based our research on both synchronic analysis, and a diachronic analysis. We adopted an ideographic approach, and a parallel nomothetic approach. In addition to the analysis of statistics and qualitative information, we made direct observations. Our research led us to several conclusions, among which the fact that the City of Praia is experiencing a moment of paradigm shift in urban management.
