Abstract

The challenge of disorderly growth and lack of planning, resulting from the processes of urban occupation in many Brazilian cities, the need to build environmentally healthy, balanced and sustainable urban spaces has arisen, as an attempt to guarantee protection of the anthropic and natural environment and the quality of life for current citizens, without compromising future generations. Academic and governmental discussions cover social, environmental and economic aspects and problems established in the urban environment in order to plan sustainable cities. Therefore, the creation of a sustainability indicator becomes an important tool to measure and understand the aspects and processes of the built environment in cities in order to contribute to the planning and actions of the various actors involved. The study presents the study for the construction of the Density, Verticality and Urban Sustainability Indicator (DVSI) for vertical condominiums in the municipality of Campo Grande, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Developed with the purpose of finding an ideal indicator of housing with quality in the public space and private condominiums. Researches were developed within the density, verticality and sustainability aspects, establishing parameters indicated by area professionals (urban planners, teachers, researchers and builders) who established different weights among the items surveyed. The variables chosen are divided into 10 items for "outside the condominium" and 10 for "inside the condominium".’ The study concludes that from the integrated analysis of some existing condominiums in the city of Campo Grande, Brazil, it was possible to verify their conditions in the face of the various variables of the DVSI. Thus allowing obtaining a tool to assist in the planning process, and decision-making in the implementation of condominiums in urban areas, based on the concepts of verticality, density and sustainability.
