WE CAN'T KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT RISKS: CONCEPTIONS IN DISPUTE OVER THE ONÇA LINEAR PARK PROJECT IN BELO HORIZONTE

Abstract

 The article analyzes the disputes over the appropriation of the meanings of risk by a section of the population that is subject to removal in order to carry out macro-drainage work on the Ribeirão do Onça and then the construction of a Linear Park on the site. It will be possible to discuss how the insertion of infrastructure projects of an environmental nature can unfold in the production of urban space, which can lead to the emergence of new inequalities and risks or deepen existing ones. The aim is not to deny the urgency of implementing infrastructures, services and access to a healthy environment in an equal way in the lives of citizens, but to visualize how the effort to implement linear and urban parks has become relevant to urban management and can represent a reorientation of public policies in Brazilian cities.
