Interações urbanas: uma proposta de rua completa para a Avenida Empresário Jorge Montenegro de Barros, no Bairro da Santa Amélia em Maceió - AL

Abstract

This monograph presents a complete streets project focusing on the revitalization of the sidewalks in a section of avenue Jorge Montenegro de Barros in the city of Maceió/Alagoas. The street, in its urban context, represents a deterioration of public space that leads to the abuse of sidewalks, that is, public sidewalks. Thus, the project aims to improve active mobility on an important collection route of the road structure in the region of the coastal tablelands of the city. In order to achieve the goal of the project, this monograph presents the conceptual aspects that need to be worked on in order to underpin the scale of this intervention. It discusses what open spaces, public spaces, and green spaces are, what streets are, streets; what sidewalks are, and their importance in urban life, and finally an understanding of what complete streets are. In addition to all the discussions in the field of ideas, some surveys on the physical, territorial, social, economic, and cultural aspects were carried out to understand the social body that occupies this avenue, in addition to the various interviews conducted in the field. As a result of these studies, a complete street project was elaborated that considers the real needs of the population that uses this place and that allows to make this urban space an attractive environment that promotes a better use and quality of life for old and new users of the avenue.
