Desafios e obstáculos para a implantação de um novo parque municipal

Resumo

Urban green areas are very important in the life of large cities, as they bring quality of life to people, offering the possibility of exercising, among other leisure activities, being extremely functional for soil permeability and maintenance of biodiversity. The main Brazilian capitals have gone through a vertiginous growth in the last decades and, to a great extent, without following an adequate urban planning, causing a disorderly population, mainly in the periphery, where the reflex of this movement became even more evident. In these places, where people with greater social vulnerability live, they are also the places where there is a greater lack of green spaces for leisure. In this context, a new mayor assumes his term and as one of the goals of his government plan is the implementation of a new urban municipal park. Therefore, given the lack of resources for this type of project and the legal provision of receiving a donation in exchange for a construction index (transfer of the right to build), the Parque Tupi implementation process follows this line. After years of processing, when everything seemed to be moving towards the beginning of the works, the file was sent to the attorney general, who made a series of notes, resulting in a setback in the process. Amidst the administrative and legal discussions for the implantation of the park, a cultural event ends in tragedy in the community, highlighting the lack of public spaces and the pressure on the mayor increases a lot. The present case study presents the difficulties for a mayor's decision-making, even when the needs of citizens and the city are evident and the means for achieving public policy seem to be well defined and within the law.Urban green areas are very important in the life of large cities, as they bring quality of life to people, offering the possibility of exercising, among other leisure activities, being extremely functional for soil permeability and maintenance of biodiversity.
