A proposed linear park at the Jaguaribe River between the João Pessoa neighborhoods of Miramar and Cabo Branco

Abstract

The present work consists of a proposed linear park in the Jaguaribe River located between the Miramar and Cabo Branco neighborhoods, in João Pessoa - PB. The main goal is to introduce an intervention that could help the recovery and reintegration of this area into the urban fabric, allowing its use by the population as a public leisure space and providing better connectivity between the surrounding neighborhoods. For the elaboration of the present work, literature review and spatial analysis were carried out, aiming to guide the present proposed linear park better. We expect that this work demonstrates the role of green areas and water bodies in the constitution of the city as gathering places and the importance of linear parks in the process of recovery and rehabilitation of urban rivers, such as the Jaguaribe River, relevant topics to the theme “Weaving the city” of the V!RUS journal current issue.
