Planejamento urbano com perspectiva de gênero: plano de bairro do Boqueirão

Abstract

The city thrives in constant conflict. Its forms and dynamics are an expression of a historical construction, representing a portrait of a sexist society. Its relation is embodied in women, where their experience of the city is measured by the daily struggle to ensure their right to use the space. The urban planning with gender perspective comprises the historical exclusion, and seeks to subvert the patriarchal logic highlighting the demands and necessities of the marginalized portion whose the technocrat urban planning rejects. This essay intends to outline a Neighborhood Master Plan to the Boqueirão Neighborhood, based in Curitiba. Using as a guideline the gender view, its demands and necessities entailed in current circumstances. By digging an inclusive process of women in the city, it is expected a humanely attend to all social groups, whether encloses infant, elderly and disable population.

The Boqueirão Neighborhood was read afterwards, grounding the directions to a Neighborhood Master Plan with urban interventions which shall also benefit each citizen, not just women
