Parklets: a reivindicação da rua para as pessoas.

Abstract

The modernism brought to our lives the exaltation of cars, thereat the pedestrians as a fundamental part of the city were forgotten. The need to create more quality public spaces to achieve urban well-being is well-known. It is also known that the postmodern society shows a behaviour marked by temporality, therefore, bureaucratic urbanism cannot meet the expectations of this new generation. From this, there are actions motivated and promoted by the population, which aim to create small interventions for the improvement of cities, for example, most cities are creating the mini- parks: the so-called parklets. However, not everyone agrees with this installation. To understand the concern of these groups, this work seeks to investigate the process of implantation, appropriation and acceptance of parklets. For this, a qualitative research will be carried out, with bibliographical analysis of the theme, visit case studies, conduct questionnaires and field journals, for subsequent construction of comparative graphs.
