Infraestrutura e Paisagem: por uma infraestrutura verde e paisagística sobreposta à malha do metrofor

Abstract

This paper seeks to develop a green alternative for the landscape of Fortaleza, with the aim of demonstrating the possibility of reconnecting the large common areas of expressive vegetation of Fortaleza and the Metropolitan Region through the participatory project of green infrastructure in residential spaces of METROFOR. The paper is initially structured by two chapters of theoretical reference on the concepts of Infrastructure and Landscape; a third chapter deals with counter-hegemonic practices and resistance to authoritarian planning and the privatization of urban commons. The analyses of METROFOR’s infrastructure will be incorporated into each chapter as a way of approaching the object of study. A fourth chapter analyzes reference projects for the proposed intervention project. Finally, the paper arrives at the proposal for infrastructural intervention in the landscape, based on the proposition of a green infrastructure in the residual spaces of the Metrofor network, specifying an intervention plan in the residual spaces of the Southern Line, conducting a study of the connection of residual spaces in the Benfica neighborhood and designing one of these through a participatory process.
