Metodologia para planejamento da paisagem urbana: a drenagem como sistema estruturante do planejamento e o sistema de espaços livres multifuncional como ordenador da paisagem urbana

Abstract

This thesis presents a methodological proposal for reading, evaluating and modifying the urban landscape, based on the recognition of the drainage system as a structuring element in the planning process and the use of a system of multifunctional open spaces that could order landscape and land uses. The methodological proposal was elaborated departing from the adaptation of the IMM methodology, Integrated Methodology of Modification, developed at the Polytechnic University of Milan, by the IMM designlab - Laboratory of multidisciplinary urban design for urban sustainability. The proposed adaptation is driven by the principle that urban design can reduce urban flooding problems, through the modification of their constituents and their morphological aspects, directly affecting the quality of the environment, as well as the quality of life. This is a complex discussion assisted by different fields of knowledge that operate in the design of cities. This discussion is supported by a hydrodynamic mathematical modeling tool, the MODCEL, in a case study applied to the Canal do Mangue watershed in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. As a result, it was possible to find that the combination of a planning and design process that integrates a multifunctional open space system guided by the urban drainage system needs can provide a landscape with a more efficient urban-environmental performance to face the risk of urban flooding.
