Plan for Urbanization and Land Regularization of Banhado
PExURB | 2018-2019, Brazil
multidisciplinary team (co-authorship)
The Plan for Urbanization and Land Regularization of Banhado is a technic-political instrument in the struggle for the permanence of a century-old community in Brazil, a vulnerable rural settlement located in the city centre.
Proposes solutions organized by a network of equipment and productive activities, essentially conceived by photogrammetric analysis (drones and GIS). It was collectively designed by a multidisciplinary team in constant contact with the community.
Conception and development phases of the Plan, from the workshop phase and listening to the residents' demands and expectations, up to the presentation event of the final Plan
