Abstract

Abstract: This research delves into a comprehensive analysis that encompasses two critical dimensions for the study of environmental law and sustainable urban planning. On one hand, it examines the intersection between Sustainable Development Goals No. 11 and 15 and the right to prior, free, and informed consultation, highlighting the essential relationship between citizen participation in urban planning and the achievement of environmental sustainability and urban quality of life goals proposed by the SDGs. The document provides a holistic view of the importance of respecting the rights of communities, especially indigenous peoples, in the context of urban development projects. The analysis is supported by Judgment No. 1325-15-EP/22 of the Constitutional Court of Ecuador, a paradigmatic case illustrating the challenges and opportunities of prior consultation in projects impacting local communities. The thesis will benefit from this integrated approach, strengthening both theoretical and practical foundations. It will provide a solid framework for addressing the importance of citizen participation in sustainable urban planning and its crucial connection to the achievement of SDGs. This analysis will contribute to a deeper understanding of challenges and opportunities at the intersection of environmental law and sustainable urban planning, offering a robust foundation for case studies and legal argumentation.
