CONECTIVIDADE NA PAISAGEM POR MEIO DOS ESPAÇOS LIVRES. A APA DO LAGEADO

Abstract

Urban afforestation has been disseminated throughout the world as a fundamental planning instrument to provide people with equal access to the benefits of nature contact and ecosystemic services, also considered an important part of its infrastructure. The city of Campo Grande had its first Urban Afforestation Master Plan in 2010, although it was dissociated from the Urban Master Plan. The present work is a proposal of spatial requalification of two subdivisions incorporating contemporary concepts of urban afforestation as elements of urban planning and design that involve the understanding of open and green spaces as part of larger ecosystems, in an integrated vision that understands the city as an urban forest. The project addresses the Oiti Residential subdivision and the Itaparica Subdivision, in the Lajeado Environmental Protection Area, discussing the role of afforestation as an element of connection and spatial requalification to promote environmental justice and quality of life. The project foresees the planting of 1,236 trees to accompany roads, the implementation of condominiums with the permeable block principle, and the creation of squares and open areas that make up this connected landscape.
