PRINCÍPIOS DE URBANIDADE NO PROJETO DE CIDADES SUSTENTÁVEIS PARA PESSOAS

Abstract

The present article aims to present a synthesis of the theoretical discussion, part of the master 's research in Architecture and Urbanism under development in the postgraduate course in Architecture Urbanism and Design - PPGAU, at the Federal University of Uberlândia - UFU. The research explores the concept of urbanity (VITAL, 2012; AGUIAR et. NETTO, 2012; GRINOVER, 2006) applied to urban road system projects as an alternative to the problems caused by urban planning, which prioritizes traffic engineering, aims to indicate guiding axes of urban design giving priority to people. The city planning that leaves the human scale aside due to the private car generates anonymous, unsafe and lifeless cities. To identify the key elements that structure urban life is adopted the methodology of analysis of Complex Unit Diagram - DUC - (VITAL, 2012). In this sense and through the readings of the dimensions of the built and environmental environment, anchored by the philosophical and ecological dimensions, it will be possible to obtain the urban environmental panorama of a structural corridor of public transport of the Eastern Sector of the city of Uberlândia-MG. From the concept of 'sustainable project for the city' (VITAL, 2012), the principles of urbanity will be applied in the area of study aiming to rescue the sense of designing cities for the people.
