Crescimento urbano do bairro Renato Gonçalves: intervenção para melhoria da mobilidade urbana

Abstract

As cities go through a process of urban growth, positive or negative results emerge in different aspects, one of which is urban mobility. The present work seeks to analyze the process of urban growth in a polygonal area around the Renato Gonçalves neighborhood, in the city of Barreiras – Bahia, in relation to the impacts on urban mobility, in addition to proposing interventions in the area to improve mobility and walkability. The methodology used to develop the work consists of: (1) Bibliographical research on themes linked to urban growth, verticalization, urban mobility, accessibility and guidelines of the National Urban Mobility Policy, (2) Acquisitions of advertising materials from dissemination of projects and search for project information from construction companies with the aim of identifying characteristics of the buildings, (3) On-site survey, taking of photographs, production of cartography, observation of physical-spatial aspects of the surroundings and production of thematic cartography for reading and analysis of the surroundings. This work can be used as a tool to define improvements in urban mobility in the neighborhood, increasing better conditions so that people can move around safely and comfortably, aiming to contribute to encouraging walkability.
