Gestão Compartilhada de Desenho Urbano em Áreas de Vulnerabilidade Social à Violência

Abstract

Violence is evident in the contemporary Brazilian city, although its occurrence is not evenly distributed nor occurs with the same intensity in all urban territories. This particularity can be verified through comparative analyzes between homicide rates in different locations. In large part, urban violence is motivated by the conditions of segregation and precariousness in many of the most peripheral neighborhoods of cities, as a strong indicator of the risk situation and social vulnerability of their residents. Faced with an increasingly worsening scenario, this article highlights the role of urbanism, especially urban design, as a valid device for the prevention of urban violence, based on its multidisciplinary and intersectoral action aimed at correcting distortions. of urban growth. The empirical analysis falls on the city of Sobral, located in the northern region of Ceará state, seen as a scenario for the conception of premises for shared management in participatory intervention projects in public spaces that seek to go beyond public security policies focused on crime and police repression.
