Descrição
Over the years, the Federal Institutions of Higher Education (Instituições Federais de Ensino Superior - IFES) have been the focal point of governmental programs seeking to restructure them internally and to expand them. Many of these IFES are located in medium and small cities, leading to transformations and socioeconomic impacts. Thus, this study sought to understand the verticalization process in the central region of Viçosa-MG and its relationhsip with the expansion of the Federal University of Viçosa (UFV). It was possible to observe the existence of a direct relationship between the expansions of the UFV and the verticalization process in the central region of Viçosa, as well as an increase in the number of buildings taller than 4 stories, mainly located on roads adjacent to the UFV, and changes in the typology of buildings and apartments. Also noteworthy is the prominent role of the investor in leveraging the verticalization process and the permission of public powers considering the massive production of verticalized spaces.||Ao longo dos anos, as Instituições Federais de Ensino Superior (IFES) têm sido objeto de programas governamentais com vistas a reestruturá-las internamente e expandi-las. Muitas dessas IFES se encontram instaladas em cidades médias e pequenas, levando a transformações e impactos socioeconômicos. Assim, buscou-se compreender o processo de verticalização na zona central de Viçosa-MG e sua relação com as expansões da Universidade Federal de Viçosa (UFV). Dessa forma, foi possível observar a existência de uma relação direta entre as expansões da UFV e o processo de verticalização na zona central de Viçosa-MG, assim como um aumento no número de edifícios acima de 4 pavimentos, localizando-se, principalmente, nas vias adjacentes à UFV, mudanças na tipologia dos edifícios e dos apartamentos. Destaca-se, também, um papel proeminente do investidor alavancando o processo de verticalização e uma permissividade do poder público frente à produção maciça de espaços verticalizados.
Abstract
THE VERTICALIZATION PROCESS IN THE CENTRAL REGION OF VIÇOSA - MG: AN ANALYSIS BASED ON EXPANSION OF THE FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OF VIÇOSA AND ITS IMPACT ON THE URBAN SPACE STRUCTURE
Over the years, the Federal Institutions of Higher Education (Instituições Federais de Ensino Superior - IFES) have been the focal point of governmental programs seeking to restructure them internally and to expand them. Many of these IFES are located in medium and small cities, leading to transformations and socioeconomic impacts. Thus, this study sought to understand the verticalization process in the central region of Viçosa-MG and its relationhsip with the expansion of the Federal University of Viçosa (UFV). It was possible to observe the existence of a direct relationship between the expansions of the UFV and the verticalization process in the central region of Viçosa, as well as an increase in the number of buildings taller than 4 stories, mainly located on roads adjacent to the UFV, and changes in the typology of buildings and apartments. Also noteworthy is the prominent role of the investor in leveraging the verticalization process and the permission of public powers considering the massive production of verticalized spaces.
