Abstract
Defensive Architecture Mapping: a case study in the city of Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil
Highlights
All these strategies are related to the physical and social segregation of the territory and they assured the use of public space only by some selected groups of people
The disconnection between the formal and the informal city results in a considerable amount of information that is not represented in official cartography
One of the most representative features of Brazilian socio-spatial segregation is the so-called macro urban segregation, in which the higher-class neighborhoods are concentrated in some specific regions, completely separated from the poor communities (VILLAÇA, 2000)
Summary
All these strategies are related to the physical and social segregation of the territory and they assured the use of public space only by some selected groups of people. In addition to the irregular settlements, the urban landscape is endowed with smaller scale elements that generate social exclusion and interfere in the urban and public space, both in material and immaterial ways. Immaterial aspects, such as civility, democracy, and the use of space, are difficult and complex to represent in maps.
