GUIMARAES, Sávio. Urban public parks: proposals and developments between the industrial and post-industrial contexts. GOT [online]. 2020, n.20, pp.221-253.  Epub 30-Dez-2020. ISSN 2182-1267.  https://doi.org/10.17127/got/2020.20.010.

Although public urban parks are generally marked by the natural elements that make up their landscaping, although their connection to leisure and sport activities, to aesthetic enjoyment and idleness stands out, their study shows them as facilities holding dimensions of knowledge that far exceed their most apparent characteristics and their superficial assimilation. The present investigation of this theme started with a comprehensive snapshot, from the industrial to the post-industrial context, allowable when thinking over these spatial systems in a great variety of achievements. The methodology created for this study was intertwined with guiding lines: initially, based on a bibliographical review related to the object of investigation; then, based on observational visits and photographs of parks taken during a long period when the theme was already being explored, and finally, highlighting selected cases which represent emblematic types of facilities that, even located in different continents and different socio-cultural contexts, in the intersection of their realities and dynamics, make room for comparative speculations that instigate their analysis and shed light on their interpretation. The dialectical approach adopted in structuring and conducting the study made it possible to explain the multiple dimensions and the dynamic nature involving urban parks in the midst of a variety of intentions and strategies, projects and spatializations, uses and developments.
