Architectural intervention in line with the principles of the Healthy City: experience in a public school in Santa Bárbara d´Oeste - SP

The approximation of Health Promotion to the way of planning cities has become fundamental in the face of the challenges faced by contemporary urbanism, such as: population growth, housing deficit and urban expansion, currently aggravated by the pandemic situation. The development of healthy cities depends on a strong connection between public authorities and local communities (BRANDÃO, 2010) and is made possible by orienting public resources and services for the application of tools aimed at promoting health and well-being. citizens' welfare. The experiences of urban interventions and focused on local communities such as those of training with a focus on the practical training of transforming autonomies and social contact networks are fundamental for planning the healthy city at this time of 2020. A strengthened, trained and supported community in its networks of contact can promote profound changes in the urban territory and in the social fabric, Sperandio, (2020). The academic approach allows, to the representatives of the academy and communities, unique knowledge and exchanges that can resume the concept of collectivity for the well-being and common good. The integration of health promotion actions and strategies in the urban living space can transmute to a good place to live, without canceling the need to update public policies. The joint and intersectoral work between the community, the government and the Universities made it possible to implement and sustain the project over the years, standing out as a local health promotion experience aimed at improving the quality of life of the population and their effective participation, (SPERANDIO, 2017). In this project, the garden is an element strongly linked to the school, not only in school meals, but also in everyday learning to understand the healthy. Students learn the theory about the species that are cultivated in the garden, and then use the concepts in practice and in a participatory way, whether taking care of gardens and learning about plants, or in cooking classes where they learn to have a healthy diet, based on on vegetables and vegetables grown in vegetable gardens. Healthy eating habits can also have an impact on the prevention of non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. Through the project, the premises of urban planning for the Healthy City are undoubtedly verified, such as: social participation, social cohesion, formation of networks, intersectoriality, literacy, loving-kindness, respect, sense of belonging, rescue of local culture, development of individual and collective autonomies through the empowerment of the community and the appropriation of the project by the community, (SPERANDIO, 2020). The articulation of individual and collective desires for the realization of this project, and how he himself has the autonomy to expand through his capillarity. Does the local community come together to change life habits and spread knowledge, and connect to reverberate results from local to global? & quot; glocal & quot; (DE LEEUW, 2017a, p. 21). The importance of the vegetable garden at the local level, demands expansion of its facilities to better receive the community and the students of the local school, as a pilot project. Therefore, the support of the University with the technical knowledge of architects and urban planners who are available to design this space in the perspective of the principles of the healthy city. A fact that embodies the social function of the architect, by providing quality spaces to meet the desires and desires of its users.
