CONECTANDO ESPAÇOS LIVRES: sistema de infraestruturas verdes, na rua Catiguá, bairro Centro Oeste, Campo Grande, MS.

Abstract

The increasing urbanization and population growth have significant environmental implications, such as the reduction of vegetation, increased soil impermeability, and microclimate alteration, among others. These factors lead to more frequent flooding, inundations, soil erosion, and various other urban drainage issues. Therefore, nature-based solutions, such as green infrastructures, have been adopted to tackle the challenges posed by climate extremes. With urban expansion and population growth, urban spaces have been intensely occupied, resulting in more impermeable urban structures prone to heat island formation. Moreover, population growth and housing demands reduce green spaces in cities. In this context, this study aimed to propose a project for a system of open spaces using various types of green infrastructures on Catiguá Street, in the section between the Lageado Stream and Avenida dos Cafezais, as well as the section of Betoia Street, at the intersection of Catiguá Street and Topógrafos Street, in the Anhanduizinho region, in Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul. This proposal seeks to mitigate floods and inundations near the Lageado Stream while the proposed green infrastructures aim to reduce urban heat, and provide social, economic, and environmental benefits.
