O PARQUE DA CIDADE: requalificação do parque São Cristóvão de Elói Mendes –MG

Abstract

The present work deals with the need for requalification of Parque São Cristóvão located in the city of Elói Mendes-MG, located in a peripheral neighborhood, segregated from the other neighborhoods of the city. The park has immense urban and landscape potential, but is currently in poor condition. This intervention became essential due to the few places for leisure in this area of ​​the city, as well as the underutilization of this space. The intervention proposal was based on qualitative research through which historical data of the city and the neighborhood were obtained, as well as a survey of the land and surroundings to support the diagnosis and study of urban parks. In addition, the study carried out proposes a reflection on the importance of public spaces, their relevance for the population and their best use, as many become idle and underutilized.
