Full Article:

The present study aims to explore the urgent issue of urban expansion and its impact on cities, with a specific focus on the regional centrality areas of Belo Horizonte. The main contribution of this work is the development of a parametric model to assess the environmental impact of intensive occupation in these areas and verify their compliance with sustainable development criteria. The study directly addresses the challenges arising from rapid urbanization, offering a digital approach to analyze and simulate the impact of intensive urban occupation in the regional centrality areas. As a methodology, we used georeferenced data, the Grasshopper parametric modeling software, and the Ladybug plugin for environmental simulations, effectively combining empirical information and computational tools to obtain significant results related to the impacts resulting from the proposed densification.
