Descripción
Sumario:The present article uses the recent case of Parque Augusta to highlight the importance of society's participation in claiming new public spaces in the city of São Paulo, especially regarding Urban Parks. Stressing the concept of the right to the city and the human dimension in urban planning, the existence of opposing forces in the production of public space is highlighted and the question arises: for what and for whom are public spaces made? The work concludes that the implementation of new urban parks are essential to materialize the idea that the city and public spaces must be planned for the occupation of people and that pressure from civil society is fundamental in this logic.
