Entre muros: proposta de requalificação urbana para a quadra um do conjunto São Raimundo em São Luís - MA

Abstract

The urban development dynamics at peripheral housing areas that lack adequate sanitation, infrastructure and mobility emerges as an important factor to promote adequate life quality for communities that are often neglected by part of the public administration in order to develop urban public spaces that promote the collective life and not underused urban voids. Such aspects can be noted in course of the proposal of the Preliminary Study of urban requalification for the Block One of São Raimundo’s Complex, which is the ending objective of the present work. However, for this, the work brings the discussion of urban planning in peripheral neighborhoods, approaching urban public place, urban requalification, walkability, urban mobility concepts (through active mobility concept) that act as a tool for the public place reordering. The work was reasoned on a bibliographic, exploratory descriptive method based on a research survey already carried about the subject through data, laws, scientific articles, books, monographs and theses that approach the public place as a way of community encourage. The diagnosis made with the map making, diagrams, photographic memorial and questionnaire application guided the understanding the real demands of the community regarding the uses of a public place for the neighborhood, contributing considerably to the elaboration of the intervention proposal that structures linearly the underused areas at the Block One of the São Raimundo’s complex, generating new opportunities for uses that express collective life, being materialized in the “Dawn’s Square”.
