This thesis discusses the organization and the quality of urban space as a possibility for meetings, events and simultaneous coexistence of differences, and especially as a means to stimulate the interaction between generations and enhancing the quality of life within an increasingly long-lived society. We analyze the projects ' age-friendly city " and UN " Accessible City 's Human Rights " of the Secretariat of Human Rights of Brazil, which generally grant titles to municipalities that adhere to their guidelines. Discusses the case of Joinville (SC), a town south of Brazil , which has been implementing a series of actions aimed at improving the accessibility of public spaces , focusing on the elderly, within a major Federal City Project Access program is Human rights . Without intending to compare the case of Jena, the municipality located in Thuringia, Germany, the region is presented in this thesis as an example of a systemic and continuous process of planning that meets the needs of intergenerational without being involved in the context of government programs giving titles to cities. Thus, the use of the principles of planning a City for All, Jan Gehl (2010), as a method of analysis and contextualization, extols the importance of the distribution of the functions of cities to integrate and provide unique experiences to people, inviting them to raise their stay in public spaces, improving their living conditions and psychosocial health, regardless the existing title, or projects proposed by the label. It is reiterated that a city cannot be judged merely by its applications on standards and technical specifications, but should consider the methodology of analysis in a holistic way and to understand the human dimension to the concept of quality of life in public spaces, which completely heterogeneous and individually should be treated collectively .
