Centralidades Periféricas: o direito à cidade em áreas não centrais, um estudo de caso em Campo Grande, MS

Abstract

This paper seeks to analyze the right to the city in the municipality of Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul. For this purpose, discussions will be held on public spaces and social urbanism, aligned with the issue of centralities and sub-centers, as these are key elements for understanding how the city works and how the main relationships that touch on this study take place, namely between the urban and the individual and between the urban and the collective, since the city works on both individual and mass scales. Initially, the paper presents the theoretical background on the fundamentals that have been described, so that there is an understanding of how they act in the city, thus formulating answers on how the population occupies the city, based on what is offered to them, but also how the population could appropriate the place if urban design were used optimally in a city, reaching its maximum potential. Subsequently, the historical framework was studied to understand how the central regions in Campo Grande were established and how this establishment continues to this day, privileging certain areas and hindering some citizens, especially those who live in neighborhoods located on the outskirts of the municipality, from having access to the same services and spaces when compared to those who live in the central zone. With all of the theoretical contribution presented, cut-outs were made in the city to choose in which area the architectural and urban project of a subprefecture should be installed, that is, a place that has the necessary infrastructure to receive public spaces for leisure, culture, sport, health, education and social services, with the main objective of serving the local population, especially those living in the immediate vicinity of where the project is located. The main determinant for this was the Centrality Zones, established by Campo Grande's Urban Environmental Development Master Plan. Thus, in order for an area to receive the project in question, it must be located in a Centrality Zone. With the project, we hope to obtain a place that will help Campo Grande become an increasingly egalitarian city.
