Inclusive Cities - Are those that include, integrate, and generate a Sense of Community and Collecti
The city for people must also include, integrate, generate a sense of community and collective among its citizens. An initiative is the urban gardens, created and maintained in the green areas of the sidewalks, in vacant lots and idle urban spaces, by the residents of the street and the neighborhood. By creating a collective project, the entire community engages and works on behalf of it, benefiting not only it but also the environment, health and the promotion of sustainability. Life is given to a space that is often abandoned, unprotected and unproductive. . In Curitiba, the capital of Paraná (Brazil), there are several urban gardens around the city, such as the Sidewalk of Cristo Rei garden (which received UN Food Gardens and UN Habitat recognition certification) and the Comestible Staircase of Mercês. After a clash with the City Hall, there was the initiative to regularize the urban plantations, ensuring their inclusion - and the community - in the city, as well as safeguarding the inherent rights to space, planting and citizens. The sustainable city must include its citizens in its management. By making productive an idle space, the community participates, unites and the sense of community makes them stronger to fight for the city they want. In addition, a productive area makes the environment safer, cleaner and more pleasant.
