Abstract
This paper presents a model of balancing urbanization and nature. Firstly, it presents contextual information about the role of nature in facing key contemporary challenges, in particular related to facing the predicted negative consequences of climate change, as well as the destruction of the natural environment because of or derived from anthropic activities. Subsequently, it introduces fundamental aspects of the theory of green wedge urbanism and explores the applicability of the idea in contributing to tackling Brazilian urban challenges. We concluded that green wedge urbanism, given its particular articulation between urbanized and natural areas, presents an effective and flexible structure that can contribute to the urban question in different domains, above all in the maximization of the benefits of nature throughout the urban fabric.
