Abstract

In the Brazilian context, urban regulations prioritize built environment guidelines over the management – in terms of conservation, creation and optimization – of open green areas. Based on the characterization, analysis, and proposition of possible strategies, this paper discusses the importance and the usage potentialities of the vegetation cover in cities, as well as the repercussions of its absence. The study considered three landscape planning scales (regional, urban, and local) in order to comprehend their relation, and to present possibilities for the enhancement of environmental quality from a large to a day-to-day perspective. The investigation results in a summary of green-sensitive design strategies, as well as in urban instruments, interventions, and parameters at the local scale; all likely to improve urban characteristics regarding green infrastructure.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Known as Utilization Coefficient in literal translation, it is a Brazilian building guideline that limits the constructed area to the area of the urban lot in which it will be settled.

  2. 2.

    In this study, landscape is understood as the result of human and natural interactions; where cultural expressions are produced.
