Abstract

Waterfronts can be presented as spaces whose articulating role can reduce spatial isolation and increase tolerance to difference by rescuing urbanity values. The experience in the municipality of Afuá, a city in the north of the Marajó Archipelago at the mouth of the Amazon River, in Pará, aims to identify factors that increase the urbanity that emerges there and its results, the urbanity itself, and provide subsidies for the establishment of criteria and parameters for the analysis of urbanity in waterfronts. The analysis was performed using the method of recording observations in real time and systematically, called the Diary (Gehl; Svarre, 2019). Afuá is a refuge, a safe place that has not been exposed to hostile situations. It exemplifies how the relationship between water, the city, and people can be a starting point for the desired urbanity. In this sense, what can we learn from Afuá? What urbanity-inducing factors exist in Afuá, and how do we plan public spaces using them? This article deals with urbanity on waterfronts and how to create favorable conditions for its occurrence.
