O conceito de regeneração urbana surge da necessidade de intervenções nas cidades europeias, desde o início dos anos 50 em consequência da destruição provocada pela segunda guerra mundial com maior relevância. No entanto em Portugal esta temática só viria a ser abordada após o 25 de Abril, num contexto de profunda alteração sócio – política a nível nacional e de uma crise económica a nível internacional, provocada pelo primeiro choque petrolífero. Em resultado da destruição provocada e da crise económica que era patente perspectivaram-se modelos de combate e soluções para os graves problemas emergentes. A desertificação dos centros urbanos, a descaracterização das periferias, a densidade saturada das zonas de forte actividade económica, o desordenamento e os problemas ambientais foram acontecimentos que influenciaram a política de regeneração urbana.
É neste contexto que surge o conceito de regeneração urbana, referindo-se a um conjunto de intervenções sócio – urbanísticas em áreas urbanas marcadas pela degradação do edificado e do espaço público, pela insuficiência de equipamentos colectivos e por processos crescentes de exclusão social.1
Encontram-se neste contexto os designados bairros sociais que depois de uma primeira fase em que deram resposta às carências habitacionais são actualmente estudos de caso alvo de propostas de regeneração urbana.
Tendo em conta a problemática referida, este trabalho consiste no estudo da regeneração urbana, apresentando uma proposta de melhoramento do espaço exterior urbano do bairro social da Godinha em Escapães do concelho de Santa Maria da Feira. Centra-se na definição de medidas projectuais dos espaços exteriores urbanos e da ligação ou continuidade à cidade existente, que promovam melhores condições de fruição do espaço pelos residentes e utentes.
The concept of urban regeneration arises from the need for interventions in the European cities since the early 50s as a result of the destructions caused by World War II with greater relevance. However in Portugal this issue would only be addressed after the April 25, in a context of profound social change-national policy and an international economic crisis caused by the first oil shock, as a result of the destruction caused and the economic crisis it was clear perspective to model and solutions to combat the serious problems emerging. The depopulation of urban centers, the mischaracterizations of the suburbs, the density of saturated areas of high economic activity, the disordering and the environmental problems were events that influenced the politics of urban regeneration. It is in this context that the concept of urban regeneration, referring to a set of social interventions – in urban areas marked by urban decay of buildings and public space, the inadequacy of community facilities and processes for increasing social exclusion.2 Here are the designated housing estates that after an initial phase in which responded to the needs housing case studies are currently subject to proposals for urban regeneration. Taking into account the problems that this work is the study of urban regeneration, presenting a proposal for improving the urban exterior space of the neighborhood’s social Godinha in Escapães the municipality of Santa Maria da Feira. It focuses on defining measures projectual of urban open spaces and lead or continue the existing city, promoting better conditions for the enjoyment of the area by residents and users.
