Práticas de resistência através de intervenções temporárias na cidade de Natal - RN: O caso do movimento Eco Praça

Abstract

The current conformation of cities and the marked distancing of the people from public space have provided the appearance of movements of various natures that claim new forms of use and appropriation of space. In this context, the Eco Plaza movement appears in Natal-RN as a temporary intervention project that is based on social mobilization, stimulating the use of underutilized squares, promoting revitalization and transformation in its use and appropriation by the city's residents. This article, which results from an exploratory research, analyzes these processes and the significance of the movement as an action of resistance at the local level with an emphasis on the morphology of the squares and the perception of the agents involved directly and indirectly.
