Masterplan de requalificação urbana e paisagística: proposta de um parque linear ao longo do Canal de Drenagem COHAB/COHATRAC

Abstract

This final paper of graduation presents a proposal for an urban and landscape intervention for the COHAB / COHATRAC Drainage Canal. With the observation and analysis of its historical, physical, socioeconomic, landscape and morphological attributes, it was possible to diagnose the current situation of the space studied. Nowadays, the reality of the area guarantees the continuous deterioration of the public space, since the men’s negative appropriation and the environmental degradation are crucial factors for the distancing of the positive relations between the natural, social and constructed environment. In view of this situation, the main objective of this work was to develop a linear park along the banks of the canal and to intervene in the surrounding roads and sidewalks, encouraging the adequate use of public space, environmental education, respect for nature, creation of areas of recreational, social, cultural, sports and economic character, as well as the reaffirmation of citizenship, sustainability, safety and the quality of the local urban landscape.
