Planejamento em área de vulnerabilidade social: um estudo sobre o bairro Cidade Cristo Rei (Montes Claros-MG

Abstract

This dissertation focuses on urban planning in vulnerable areas, since they are areas affected by poverty, violence, diverse risks, etc., as well as being areas that are not constantly included in municipal plans. For this reason it is necessary to study the socio-spatial dynamics of these areas, in order to produce alternatives that aim at improving the quality of life of its residents. For this purpose, the case of the Cristo Rei neighborhood located in the city of Montes Claros (Minas Gerais) was studied, since the city is of medium size and has an important socioeconomic importance for the north of Minas Gerais and the neighborhood Cristo Rei is located In the central region of the city and has a subnormal cluster within its limits, which makes the area even more vulnerable. This dissertation is based on the principle of social learning, that is, it seeks different alternatives for the neighborhood of Cristo Rei City that are a product of the dialogue between social interest (popular participation) and public interest (municipal government). Finally, urban planning associated with social learning has proved to be an important research tool capable of bringing together several complex themes about the territory in question and, thus, can point to transforming principles for other vulnerable regions of the city of Montes Claros and the region.
