Tratamento Urbanístico a partir da quadra e do seu entorno imediato no bairro José Américo em João Pessoa/PB

Abstract

Open space systems, whether private or public, play an essential role in shaping the urban landscape and promoting quality of life in cities. However, this work focuses on urban analysis, through the study of a block and its immediate surroundings in the José Américo neighborhood, with the aim of proposing a requali�ication of public spaces, but for this we need to understand their �lows, dynamics and in�luence of the neighborhood as a whole. In this context, we investigated the historical process of formation of the José Américo neighborhood, located in the South Region of the City of João Pessoa/PB and how its urban development occurred over the years. When developing a redevelopment in the neighborhood through the chosen block, we observed the potential that the block generated with its immediate surroundings, with the neighborhood and also how it could connect to the city. AThus, we sought to develop strategies to requalify the place, designing taking into account the characteristics of the built environment around it and the needs of the local population. Our approach includes in-depth conceptual exploration to enrich the theoretical framework. This includes a morphological analysis of the free public spaces in the area in question, as well as the mapping and analysis of the ways in which these spaces are protected by users, in addition to the structuring activities already presented. We also consider mobility when examining the axes that connect open spaces, with the aim of improving the relationship between the morphological characteristics of spaces and their environments, functional aspects and user experience. All of these steps re�lect the effort to integrate theory with empirical research, providing the necessary basis for de�ining general and speci�ic guidelines. These guidelines, in turn, will guide the identi�ication of practical actions to improve the public spaces under study.
