Dessa forma, o objetivo do presente estudo foi verificar se a integração dos aspectos ambientais ocorre nas decisões do Conselho Municipal de Política Urbana de Santo André, São Paulo. Para isso, foram feitas a análise da legislação relativa ao Conselho e entrevistas com conselheiros. Foi usada técnica da análise de conteúdo temática para tratamento dos dados. Os resultados mostraram que na legislação ocorre a integração dos aspectos ambientais. Nas entrevistas foram verificados diferentes entendimentos de integração e encontradas dificuldades similares àquelas encontradas na literatura internacional. Concluiu-se que o processo de integração dos aspectos ambientais ainda é incipiente e que o Conselho pode contribuir para seu avanço.

Over the last decade, Brazil has pioneered an innovative model of branchless banking, known as correspondent banking, involving distribution partnership between banks, several kinds of retailers and a variety of other participants, which have allowed an unprecedented growth in bank outreach and became a reference worldwide. However, despite the extensive number of studies recently developed focusing on Brazilian branchless banking, there exists a clear research gap in the literature. It is still necessary to identify the different business configurations involving network integration through which the branchless banking channel can be structured, as well as the way they relate to the range of bank services delivered. Given this gap, our objective is to investigate the relationship between network integration models and services delivered through the branchless banking channel. Based on twenty interviews with managers involved with the correspondent banking business and data collected on almost 300 correspondent locations, our research is developed in two steps. First, we created a qualitative taxonomy through which we identified three classes of network integration models. Second, we performed a cluster analysis to explain the groups of financial services that fit each model. By contextualizing correspondents' network integration processes through the lens of transaction costs economics, our results suggest that the more suited to deliver social-oriented, "pro-poor'' services the channel is, the more it is controlled by banks. This research offers contributions to managers and policy makers interested in understanding better how different correspondent banking configurations are related with specific portfolios of services. Researchers interested in the subject of branchless banking can also benefit from the taxonomy presented and the transaction costs analysis of this kind of banking channel, which has been adopted in a number of developing countries all over the world now.
