LOTEAMENTO RAÍZES: Agricultura urbana no bairro Los Angeles, Campo Grande, MS.

Abstract

The work consists of planning a subdivision in an arable area in the Los Angeles neighborhood in Campo Grande, MS. The peripheral regions of cities constantly suffer from problems due to the lack of basic infrastructure, as well as social, economic, and environmental demands, which lead to increased social inequalities. In times of crises, whether political, economic, or environmental, these problems are further aggravated. In this context, urban agriculture is a possible response for building more resilient cities, in addition to having a strong impact on the development of more sustainable cities. This work aims to present the concepts of urban agriculture, understanding its social, economic, and environmental benefits, as well as demonstrating how this practice can be applied in cities. The methodology employed involved the quantitative analysis of collected data, allowing for a deep understanding of the benefits and challenges associated with urban agriculture. The studies demonstrated that, despite obstacles related to public management, urban agriculture is an effective, viable, and beneficial strategy for people and urban spaces.

Keywords: Subdivision. Urban agriculture. More sustainable cities. Benefits. Social. Economic. Environmental. Public management.
