Lagoa Sentinhama e o seu entorno: proposta de um parque urbano

Abstract

The Sentinhama's lake, located in the city of Maputo, constitutes a space of great environmental, social, and landscape significance, characterized by the presence of a natural ecosystem and a population that maintains a strong connection with the territory. This project proposes the creation of an urban park in the area of Sentinhama's lake and its surroundings as a strategy to promote the revitalization of the space, environmental recovery, and the strengthening of the relationship between the population and the natural environment. The proposal incorporates solutions that reconcile recreation, preservation, and sustainable use of the territory, valuing the existing natural and cultural elements. This project aims to contribute to a model of urban development that is more balanced, resilient, and inclusive, recognizing the environmental and social value of Sentinhama's lake within the urban context of Maputo.
