Parque à Vapor : revitalização da Estação Ferroviária e do seu entorno, na cidade de Bento Gonçalves/RS

Abstract

The present work of objective completion presents the development of a preliminary project of urban requalification of the railway section of Maria Fumaça, in Bento Gonçalves-RS, which comprises the Railway Station and its surroundings. Taking into account the pre-existences, it seeks to promote a suitable public space for the region. One of the main tourist attractions of the city, Maria Fumaça, has its embarkation space inserted in the intervention area, with its underused environment, lacking in urban structure and adequate urban furniture and lack of landscaping. Urban expansion and population growth led to the emergence of several squares and parks in the city. However, in addition to the number of open spaces that are insufficient to meet the population, many of these spaces lack infrastructure and maintenance. The proposal, in response to a lack of adequate public spaces in the city combined with the tourist potential of the region, will make the area no longer underutilized and insecure and will serve both the population and tourists.(sic)
