Abstract
From time to time, mainly in the field of action of the so-called human and social sciences,
notions are instituted, culled, re-designed or they re-emerge with renewed impetus in the intellectual debate.
That is what seems to be occurring with the concept of development, now emphasized in its dimension of
territoriality associated with a view of sustainability and as a foundation for the exercise of citizenship rights.
This work seeks to contribute timidly to that reflection. For such it employs a brief bibliographic review and a
critical analysis of the social-economic and environmental reality under the prism of sustainability and
citizenship in countries and regions in developing stage, above all in Brazil.
