Ipês, Mulungus, Sucupiras e Murtas: discussão de fitopatologias urbanas em ruas - o caso de Uberlândia

Abstract

A subject that has been benefited from the media boom generated by the term "sustainability" is urban vegetation. Our cities are seeking to bring nature back because of the high levels of stress, paving and pollution, and plants are a fundamental point for this rebalancing. Although necessary, this issue has been treated with a certain negligence (by public power and population), which can bring more problems than solutions, due to lack of planning and knowledge of planting (urban phytopathologies), especially in the streets of our cities. Thus, this text seeks to reinforce this field of knowledge that presents itself as a gap, searching to improve the tools of analysis in a less restricted way than only with biological parameters, applying also landscape and urbanistic views. The focus will be the streets and the interaction that exists with flora through the perspectives of the implantation problems and the morphourbanistic knowledge of the areas, having the city of Uberlandia the physical support of analysis.
