Resumo
In Latin America, more than 20% of the urban population lives in precarious urban settlements where the urban planning practices are often exceeded. The urban form and construction materials used in these areas frequently contribute to worse microclimatic conditions as well. Therefore, this paper aims to present urban planning and building recommendations, considering the climatic aspects, for informal areas of the cities of Belo Horizonte and João Pessoa, in Brazil. The method used consisted in carrying out an analysis of the results of the UCMaps, and of the Brazilian technical standard to produce a set of recommendations for the specific areas in each city. The results presented urban planning and building criteria such as shading strategies, wind corridors maintenance, materials for surfaces, sealing for external walls and coverage, and the need for cross ventilation in buildings. These recommendations may contribute to adapting the standard applied generally in urban planning and buildings to political and institutionally marginalized areas, considering the interaction between different climatic and action scales. Besides, the methodology applied could contribute to advance the discussions on climate action in informal settlements.
