Public spaces are the main agents for the creation of the most diverse relationships that human beings can establish, especially during early childhood, where the first links responsible for building a memory and belonging to space are established. However, it is increasingly observed the neglect of these spaces, consequently noting the abandonment and distancing of children from the urban environment, due to the lack of infrastructure and the failure to meet the basic demands of culture and leisure aimed at this group. The scientific research aimed to analyze the relationship between children and public spaces and the object of study adopted was Praça 7 de Setembro, inaugurated in 1968 in the city of Cruzília – MG. Through on-site surveys, qualitative and quantitative analyzis were carried out on the infrastructure offered to users, as well as analyzes of the demands and spatial practices of the square. In addition, readings were carried out on urban public policies related to early childhood in the city and on the process of expropriation of a part of the square, in 2011, as a result of the implementation of a pharmacy of the Minas Pharmacy Program, managed by the State Secretariat of Minas Gerais Health (SES/MG). The methodology used in the research, therefore, consisted of conducting bibliographic and documental reviews, on-site surveys and analyzes regarding the object of study, Praça 7 de Setembro, demonstrating the relevance of discussions about public spaces and strengthening the bond of belonging of child versus city.
