Abstract

In Londrina-PR, the increase in construction potential is possible in commercial and residential areas through the application of a formula provided for in the land use and occupation law. In order to reach the maximum Basic Utilization Coefficient and expand the built-up area, this formula encourages the reduction of the Occupancy Rate and, consequently, vertical integration. A case study revealed that this formula also encourages the real estate investor to act restrictively in the project design, as it requires a maximum reduction in the occupancy rate to increase the number of apartments, inhibiting less vertical typologies with the potential to bring more vitality The streets. Vertical buildings are common in Londrina, and in most cases, they have characteristics that deny the street, such as large setbacks that distance them from the sidewalks, large walls, which block the public space from the private, and are restricted to residential use, that is, avoid mixed use. These characteristics tend to reduce the vitality of the streets and accentuate the insecurity in the immediate surroundings. Londrina's master plan is under review and this matter could be discussed in order to balance the interests of the investor and the community.
