| Summary: | This paper presents a study on the urban form, landscape and open spaces of Patos de Minas, an average city of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Searching to understand the configuration of the Open Spaces System by applying the methodology of Landscape Units. The Landscape Units in this paper are used as identification tools and analysis of different territorial portions formed by the prevalence of morphological characteristics, landscape and interaction between open and built spaces, aiming to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of each unit that can be applied to urban and environmental planning. This approach allows to develop a systemic view of the urban structure in which it is observed, not only the sets of open spaces, but also their interactions and connections with the buildings, with society, with the physical support and urban form. |
