Requalificação Urbana do Centro Histórico de Anápolis - GO

Abstract

The Requalification Plan for the Historic Center of Anápolis aims to improve the quality of life of the population that uses this urban space on a daily basis. The proposal stems from the recognition that, despite its symbolic, cultural, and economic relevance, the center faces a notorious reduction in residential use, nighttime emptiness, traffic saturation caused by the high number of parkings, low appropriation of public spaces, and flooding problems in its surroundings due to high soil impermeability. Grounded in principles of sustainability, mixed land use, and the safeguarding of historical and environmental heritage, the study was structured around three main axes of analysis: land use (with the subaxes of historical patrimony and open spaces), urban mobility, and the environment. Based on this survey, it was understood that the urban requalification of the center involves the recovery of residential use, the diversification of commercial activities and their operating hours, the reduction of areas designated for parking, and the expansion and improvement of spaces for pedestrians and cyclists. The proposals include the requalification of squares, sidewalks, and buildings of historical value, the expansion of green and permeable areas, and the adoption of urban solutions integrated with drainage systems, contributing to a more sustainable, inclusive, and accessible city center that preserves its memory while responding to the demands of contemporary urban life.
