Green Link Plan

Abstract

This research was part of the requirements for the conclusion of the Course of Landscape Architecture Training for Teachers, Modules I to IV, which took place between January of 2004 and July of 2005, sponsored by the Foundation for Environmental Research (Fupam), College of Architecture and Urban Planning of the University of São Paulo (FAUUSP), and the International Federation of Landscape Architects (IFLA). The research goal was to apply some of the theoretical-practical concepts presented during the course in a specific area: the Água Comprida creek basin in the district of Bauru-SP. As a result, some suggestions were made to guide the urban planning through the understanding of the landscape with an integration of the biophysical and of the social environment through a “green connection.”
