Abstract

This paper aims to promote research and discussion about sustainable urban mobility and its key goal is to understand how it could most likely modify the urban lifestyle in favor of enhancing urbanity. Besides that, this monography tries to identify the necessary elements that can amplify the cultural identity of the citizens and create a feeling of belonging and permanence among those who move around and live together in the area, thus promoting urban environmental quality at the site, which eventually could serve as a model for other places to be reclassified. Since early times, the urban layout has been thought of and highlighted based on the models of transportation used in each particular time in history. As for Brazil, we can notice a strong influence of cars as a key element in cities, and highways establishing a nationwide road network. In addition to that, sustainability and green infrastructure has been used in the country, bringing new discussions and proposals for moving around in a healthy way benefiting the environment and the citizens’ quality of life. To do so, the studies on the present nationwide road network, theoretical references about the promotion of sustainable mobility, urban environmental quality through green infrastructure and the implementation of urbanity and connectivity of different uses and between people, are the bases for the understanding of the neighborhood and the creation of guiding principles for the project whose final goal is the conception of permanence and a feeling of belonging in the citizens who make use of the Silvio Rugani’s Avenue, besides the hole Tubalina’s neighborhood and its crossroads.
