Abstract

The urban park has its origin in the cities during the industrial era. It started in the 19th century, due to the need to provide cities with adequate spaces to satisfy a new social demand: leisure, idle time and to counteract the urban built environment (Macedo, 2003). There are parks in all regions of the city in São Paulo and to understand if there is proportionality of these spaces with other types of land use, it was defined the municipal boundary as the area to be analyzed. The existing urban municipal and state parks were classified according to the following categories of open spaces: neighborhood parks, district parks, sector parks and regional parks, according to the size of the units and the serving radius to the population (CAVALHEIRO, 1992; Kliass, 1993).
