Políticas públicas e a dimensão patrimonial: perspectivas para o núcleo pioneiro de Goiânia

Abstract

This dissertation examines the disconnect between heritage policies and municipal urban planning, focusing on the decline of activities in downtown Goiânia and its relation to urban dynamics. It highlights the gaps within urban policy instruments that significantly contribute to the loss of vitality in the city's pioneering core. The research emphasizes urban interventions and heritage management, identifying the main drivers behind the downtown depopulation and pointing out shortcomings in preservation policies. Both urban interventions and heritage management are analyzed to pinpoint the key factors of downtown decline, such as the decentralization of economic activities and the absence of public guidelines that reconcile preservation with urban development. The methodology adopted includes documentary analysis, field surveys, and a literature review, assessing urban transformations and the impact of public policies on heritage preservation. The findings indicate that policy discontinuity and the lack of comprehensive legislation further accelerate the decline of downtown Goiânia, underscoring the need for state policies that foster sustainable revitalization of the central area, honor its historical value, and integrate it into the current urban context
