Summary/Abstract: With the increase in complexity of cities, urban parks - both central and peripheral ones - have changed their roles and feel the need to adapt themselves to the new conditions. Consequently, the issue of urban park - both at conceptual level and as design methodology level has expanded and enriched in recent decades, including both principled issues and aspects of its relationship within the entire urban system. The research conducted through the discipline named “The Urban Park - Integrated Project”, program existing in the fourth year of the Faculty of Urban Planning - Department of Landscape, aimed synthesizing the perceptual options of students, highlighting how we can relate to this topic. The project has consisted in a debate on the park’s role within the actual city, on the possibilities of intervention in the meaning of a closer relationship with the needs of the population for which it is addressed, and also a tool for innovation in an integrated design methodology (urbanism- landscape). From this point of view, the investigation started by students’ capture of the population options related to the project site - according to certain categories of users considered relevant. Formulating a significant intervention concept was the most difficult stage and at the same time the most attractive - here being synthetically addressed all layered analyzes issues, and the responses were the most diverse. The result of this research has materialized in a public presentation of the projects carried out partly in team, and partly individual, by commenting solutions and scenarios of intervention.
