A aplicabilidade dos conceitos de crescimento inteligente “Smart Growth” por meio dos instrumentos de intervenção urbana: PIU Rio Branco

Abstract

Rapid urban growth challenges metropolises around the world with known problems such as insufficient infrastructure, lack of accessible public transportation, lack of green areas and leisure, environmental degradation, emptying of large centers and consequently urban sprawl. In the search for an urbanism with answers to a sustainable and intelligent development at the local level, movements of contemporary urbanism such as the Compact Cities and Smart Growth begin to emerge, whose principles are the pursuit of the promotion of quality of life, mobility, use Of public and private areas, diversification of uses, social and environmental rehabilitation. From the knowledge of these movements, this paper will correlate the concepts of compact cities and "Smart Growth" with the new formats of local development - the PIU Rio Branco, an urban instrument recently launched in the city of São Paulo. The results show great intentions for the creation of an urban model based on the principles of urban, environmental, cultural and social sustainability.
