Paisagismo e as centralidades urbanas

Abstract

This paper focuses on the Centralidades Urbanas Program, which applied landscape concepts in several central areas within peripheral districts in the city of São Paulo (Brazil), considering important environmental issues in great urban centers. It intends to explicit the landscape's importance since the program's initial definitions, and to demonstrate that, since then, it conceived landscape in the concept's plenitude, instead of being a complementary project which would develop punctual actions. The Program Coordination (project development, bureaucratic procedures, monitoring, and work inspection) was carried out by Municipal Urbanization Company (Emurb) in partnership with other executive municipal bodies.
