How the Possibilities which Involve a Designed Urban Landscape are Communicated?

No volume, página 786

The reflection of this paper is How the possibilities which involve a designed urban landscape are communicated? Considering great part of urban landscapes is the result of interventions guided by the application of urban normatives it is important emphasize the study of the “state of the art” concerning how urban parameters are communicated. Two pilot areas were selected as study cases to elucidate this theme. The study cases are two near territorial realities that belong to different municipalities resulting in different urban parameters collections and forms of occupation of territory: Santa Lúcia district (municipality of Belo Horizonte, Brazil) and the neighborhood Vale do Sereno (Nova Lima municipality, Brazil). Both pilot areas suffer from geomorphological fragility and from strong entrepreneur interest. The methodology was based on instruments provided by geoprocessing to: (1) show the transformations passed over the different overlays – spatial and temporal; (2) identify tendencies and interest conflicts of these urban palimpsests through Multi-criteria Analysis; (3) investigate a possible path that augment the communication power between norms and users, from the characterization stage until the diagnosis, prognosis and proposition. On the other hand, to enrich the analysis about planned urban landscape three-dimensional templates were also used as leads to investigate the production of units that make up the layers of concerned palimpsests. The main result of the paper is that this paper guiding question still remains open to further investigation in other districts, regarding other medias and tools to allow a truly community participation in urban management and planning.
