De barreira a elo: proposta de parque linear para o bairro Eduardo Gomes - São Cristóvão/SE

Abstract

This Final Course Project aims to develop a preliminary study for the implementation of a linear park along Pastor José Rodrigues Sobrinho Avenue, located in the Eduardo Gomes neighborhood in the municipality of São Cristóvão, Sergipe, Brazil. The research is based on the identification of a shortage of qualified public spaces for leisure, culture, and social interaction in the neighborhood, combined with the presence of an underused central median, despite its urban, social, and environmental relevance. Grounded in the concepts of public space and the right to the city, the study understands the linear park as an urban requalification strategy capable of articulating infrastructure, active mobility, urban drainage, and sociocultural activation. The adopted methodology has a qualitative and exploratory character, structured through bibliographic review, analysis of reference projects, survey and diagnosis of the study area, as well as the development of urban design guidelines and a spatial proposal. The analysis highlights the potential of the avenue as a structuring axis of the neighborhood, capable of transforming a condition of urban barrier into an element of territorial and social connection. As a result, the study proposes a linear park that integrates leisure, culture, mobility, and environmental strategies, contributing to the qualification of urban space and to the,expansion of public access to open spaces, understanding them as an essential part of urban life and of the construction of a more just, inclusive, and sustainable city.
