Revitalisation of Horto Botânico and Vale dos Contos in Ouro Preto - MG, Brazil

Revitalization efforts for Ouro Preto's Horto Botânico and Vale dos Contos, the city's most significant urban green space, have successfully transformed these areas into a public park that enhances tourism, leisure, and environmental engagement. The project restored accessibility and functionality, fostering direct interaction with nature while preserving historical significance. By analyzing the physical, functional, and visual relationships between the park and its surroundings, the study highlights how such interventions can create differentiated options for urban recreation and conservation in UNESCO-listed heritage sites.
