Requalificação urbana e ambiental de “Minguene” no Bairro da Costa do Sol e Polana Caniço B

Abstract

This Course Completion Project addresses the theme of urban and environmental requalification in "Minguene", located in the Polana Caniço B neighborhood and Costa do Sol, in the city of Maputo. The study aims to provide an urbanistic response to the accelerated growth that has marked the 21st century, which has caused serious socio-environmental impacts in the region. The lack of adequate urban planning, combined with rapid popula tion expansion, has compromised natural water flows, degraded sensitive ecosystems such as mangroves, and increased vulnera bility to flooding. The research proposes requalification strate gies that balance urban development with environmental preser vation, contributing to the improvement of local communities' quality of life and the sustainability of coastal territories.
