Abstract

Urbanization and the conflicts generated with the environment are one of the most challenging issues of our times, generating the need to create new and different approaches to urban territory such as Urban Forest, Ecosystem Services, Open Space System and Green Infrastructure and, more recently, Nature-based Solutions. However, the incorporation of these concepts in normative instruments, bases for the implementation of public policies, is still a great challenge in Latin American cities. Given the above, the aim of this article was to discuss and present the case of the city of São Carlos (SP), as an experience of planning an Urban Forest based on SbN, which is structured from a System of Open Spaces, shaped by legal bases. The method used was divided into three parts, the first being a historical-temporal review of the creation of legislation and planning cartographies of the last decade, the second analyzes the articulation of these instruments and cartographies and the third part presents a process of Landscape planning and design, based on a System of Open Spaces and Green Infrastructure. The instruments that sequentially marked a history of achievements ranging from the creation of Protection and Recovery Areas of Water Sources - APREM; Areas of Environmental Interest – AIA; Complementary Green Strips – FVC; Urban Parks and a System of Municipal Parks - SIPAM. It is hoped that from this article, paths for a more systemic planning can be glimpsed, anchored in cultural construction processes that integrate different agents and that are based on the notion of public interest and on closer relations between man and nature.
