Abstract

The objective of this undergraduate thesis is to study the main terms related to urban planning and mobility, with a primary focus on a case study in the city of Bacabal. The research aims to analyze how the insufficiency of urban planning in the city directly affects the urban mobility of its inhabitants. This study begins with a comprehensive bibliographic review, discussing the key concepts as urbanism, mobility, urban infrastructure and strategic planning. Then, demographic and geographic data of Bacabal city are presented, providing necessary context for the analysis. To evaluate urban mobility in the referred city, a field survey was conducted, which included interviews with residents, traffic analysis and mapping of crucial areas with infrastructure issues. The results demonstrate that the lack of appropriate urban planning causes frequent congestion. The research highlighted the absence of cycle paths and proper sidewalks, as well as the insufficiency of urban drainage systems, negatively affecting the quality of life of the population. It is concluded that it is crucial to implement more integrated and effective urban planning policies to improve urban mobility in Bacabal. The study recommends the creation of a participatory master plan, investments in transportation infrastructure, and the encouragement of alternative and sustainable transport methods. It is believed that this current study can contribute to the development of practical and innovative solutions that benefit not only Bacabal but also other cities facing similar challenges.
