Abstract

We present in this article the Urban Prosthetics’ proposal, sent to the 4o Concurso de Ideas en La Red para Arquitectos y Estudiantes de Arquitectura de Iberoamérica, Portugal y España: Arquitectura para La Integración Ciudadana – VII Bienal IberoAmericana de Arquitectura y Urbanismo, Medellín, 2010. While choosing the city of Belo Horizonte as the place of intervention, we believe that the issues addressed allow us an understanding of the common processes to other Brazilian cities, where the socio-spatial segregation is a constant characteristic.
