These spaces, which undergo transformations, can become safer, more leisurely and convivial spaces; leading to improvements in the users’ lives. This work considers, through the scenario analysis and the carioca legislation for Parklets (Paradas Cariocas: Rio Decree Nº39.983 of April 10, 2015), time, quality and stakeholders as the main variables belonging to this project. This paper presents a hypothetical case study of a Parklet, based on good practices according to the PMI (2013) and the Canvas method. This case study is located in Rio de Janeiro; a city that has undergone several modifications in its urban structure in recent years, due to the Rio 2016 Olympics and Paralympics Games. Key words: Parklets, Project management, urbanism 1. Introduction Project Management, in its different forms, has become increasingly a constant subject in business world. Its importance is due to the fact that it can be the way to succeed and it can generate financial benefits, making possible higher production with less resources. Besides, it is able to improve the conviviality and the internal and external communication in companies, reducing the chances of error and conflicts [1]. In recent years, the Rio de Janeiro city has undergone a significant transformation, due to infrastructure construction for big sporting events. This fact brought the creation of Parklets in the city, named as Paradas Cariocas: street parking spaces that can be used temporarily, through the application of suitable urban furniture for the appropriation by pedestrians, Corresponding author: Karina Martins de Souza, research areas/interests: project management, urban design, urban spatial analysis.

[1] To achieve the goals and success in Parklet projects or in other projects of temporary urban interventions, besides being able to accomplish the requirements, it is extremely important to think about managing them. For this reason, this work aims to propose a Project Management Plan, with emphasis on the main variables present in a Parklet (time, quality and stakeholders), in Rio de Janeiro city. The work is based on a theoretical analysis that follows a descriptive line; basically bibliographical, about Project Management systems and temporary interventions. The case study of a carioca Parklet is used as a basis for scenario and legislation analysis, in order to identify the important variables for the project and, subsequent elaboration of Canvas Plan and Project Management Plan based on good practices according to the PMI [2].
