Desenho urbano: um instrumento de intervenção para a cidade de Delmiro Gouveia - Alagoas

Abstract

This study approaches urban design as a measure and an instrument of reorganization of landuse and occupation in order to reduce spatial segregation and modify an area through guidelines and actions, based on municipal, state, and federal laws. The studied area is in the city of Delmiro Gouveia, Alagoas, Brazil, and consists of an environment of 2 km radius, with the Federal University of Alagoas/Hinterland Campus as the center of an urban intervention proposal and the production of a new urban network with the proper uses of a city. The proposal consists of the interconnection of the analyzed area with the urban network of the municipality. This zone of expansion is marked by the development of a "University City", in order to bring the city (inhabitants, services, and commerce) to the studied area, which will be contemplated by access and proximity to urban facilities. To elaborate the urban proposal, a characterization was carried out based on physical and socioenvironmental aspects, such as: land use, urban equipment, road system, centralities, drainage system, urban density, free spaces, presence of vegetation, image of the city, local identities, relations with the natural environment, relationships with existing architecture, morphological relationships, public spaces, variety of events, and the use of the space during the day and at night. This study is justified by presenting a proposal of spatial ordering, since the area has not been occupiedyetand it can be used for a new environment. At the end, we concluded that it is possible to plan the city expansion in order to contribute to improveurban space quality and, consequently, life quality for the population.
