PLANEJAMENTO URBANO EM PEQUENAS CIDADES: UM ESTUDO DA AVENIDA ANA PENA DE FARIA, EM CARATINGA-MG

Abstract

This study investigates the main urban challenges faced by Ana Pena de Faria Avenue located in the Limoeiro neighborhood in Caratinga, MG. The main objective of this work is to analyze the infrastructure of the avenue and develop guidelines and proposals aimed at improving the urban space of the area. Through research using a diversified methodology, including literature review, fieldwork, and photographic survey, it was possible to analyze aspects of infrastructure, accessibility, and landscaping of the avenue, noting the lack of sidewalk maintenance, absence of greenery, shortage of urban furniture, and various accessibility issues. Comparative analysis with similar urban revitalization projects provided valuable insights for suggesting possible interventions to be carried out on-site, such as promoting greenery and installing adequate urban furniture to create a more inclusive and pleasant environment. These initiatives will contribute to the quality of life of residents and visitors, strengthening the role of the avenue as a vital center for the Caratinga community.
