Praça de Artur Arcos is a small but meaningful urban square located in a residential area of Porto, near the Boavista district. Named after Artur Arcos — a figure active in local civic life in the early 20th century — the square reflects a balanced approach to the design of community-oriented public spaces.
The layout of the square is simple and functional, featuring green areas, benches, pedestrian pathways, and basic urban furniture. The space is organized to create a sense of openness and safety, making it suitable for both quiet walks and daily social interactions. Its proximity to housing, shops, and public transportation makes it a natural extension of neighborhood life.
Despite its modest scale, Praça de Artur Arcos plays an important role in the local community. It serves as a gathering place, a rest stop, and a venue for small-scale events, embodying the spirit of neighborhood connection and urban identity. The square represents a contemporary understanding of the value of small public spaces as anchors of sustainable urban interaction.
