REQUALIFICAÇÃO URBANA E AMBIENTAL DO RIBEIRÃO DA VARGEM: a interação do rio com a cidade

Abstract

This work presents the proposed urban and environmental requalification of the Vargem river located in the municipality of Varginha in the state of Minas Gerais. It has as its main solution the development of a linear park that runs along the whole stretch of river, along with the proposal to recreate the producer's market and implement an environmental protection area on the banks of the river. The study also shows the importance of allying the concepts of sustainability, social integration, visual identity, quality of life, environmental preservation, enhancement of the natural landscape and integration with the built landscape. The proposal therefore takes into account environmental and urban issues, the specific legislations required and the needs of local people regardless of their social class.
