The strong growth of Brazilian cities recorded in recent years has been constantly changing habits, customs, cultures and social values, requiring attention to the needs of the inhabitants to the urban public spaces. In the face of bustling urban life, public areas should provide leisure and relaxation alternatives for the population. The present research implements an analysis of the use and appropriation of the squares in the city of Francisco Beltrão / PR, identifying their green areas. These analyzes were made with the purpose of locating and classifying squares with such knowledge of the municipal regulations seeking to point out the possibilities of a better use for a more active way of life. In order to overcome the insufficiency of the physical area, we proposed to associate the nearby urban voids for the valorization and preservation of the town squares. We have traced as research tools, initially the theoretical reference and later the case studies of the squares distributed in the districts of the city, listed by the City Hall for which we were able to validate, analyze and understand. At the end of the analysis, we proposed some measures for the Municipal Public Policy suggesting a new posture regarding issues related to squares and green areas through the requalification and expansion of areas for new needs programs. The measure will provide the praising the squares in the urban fabric serving as a model for new expansion areas.
