Abstract

Healthy city: urban morphology and land use in
building more resilient cities
Healthier cities, with quality of life and wellbeing, depend on health-oriented planning and
management. In this context, vegetation plays
a key role in mitigating the effects of climate
change (carbon dioxide capture and temperature
regulation). The objective is to present a comparative
analysis of the urban fabric of São Paulo, discussing
the relationships between morphological elements
and the urban microclimate, aiming to understand
the differences between land-use compositions
for environmental quality and urban resilience.
Urban areas of 25 hectares were selected, spaced
5 km apart, from the central region (denser) to
the southern periphery (less urbanized). Using
remote sensing, these areas were analyzed and
classified based on carbon capture, land use, and
urban morphology. The study estimated urban
arrangements whose spatial organization brings
the greatest benefits to urban health, performing
ecosystem functions and contributing to a fulfilling
urban experience by providing amenities within
walking distance. Planning healthy and resilient
cities requires addressing urban issues from multiple
perspectives. With the increase in extreme events,
the maintenance and expansion of green areas
have special significance, being crucial for both
environmental and human health.
Keywords: Healthy city; urban greening; urban
resilience; urban planning; urban morphology.
