Parque urbano – requalificação da lixeira de Hulene

Abstract

With the growth of the population in cities and their consequent expansion, the great need and demand for collective spaces is notable, which are increasingly scarce and distributed in an unbalanced way. That is, more concentrated in the city center, which generates a large concentration of people and cars there. And when actions are taken to build new infrastructure, equipment and improve the quality of life of citizens, people rarely think about proposing new, decentralized public spaces in order to meet demand. In this context, the need to decentralize infrastructures, services and equipment for public use is evident to reduce the distances to be covered to access them, avoid the large concentration of people in the city center and the consequent reduction in car traffic and this improve the quality of life of citizens. Knowing the closure plan for the Hulene dump, an opportunity arises to propose a public, central space, located on a structuring road in the city, in a densely populated area, which offers several opportunities for use and which can take taking advantage of the fact that this space is located close to the Mavalane international airport in the city of Maputo, to attract major urban transformations close by
