The need for conservation and preservation of the environment, which has been proven for some years, allied with social responsibility actions, have aroused the concern of people, represented by communities, government agencies and private entities, to develop mechanisms to improve environmental quality. In this context, there are the initiatives of preservation of public spaces of the city of Fortaleza, capital of the state of Ceará. The union of public power, residents and private companies can make the revitalization of urban spaces a great step towards improving the quality of urban life. Thus, in 2014, the City Hall of Fortaleza, with the purpose of promoting improvements in the city, launches the Program of Adoption of Squares and Green Areas. The experiences of adopting public spaces, such as green areas, squares and central beds, in the city are diverse, generating significant impacts in the social, economic and environmental scope. Aiming to show the profile of public spaces adopted by this Program of the City Hall of Fortaleza, this work aims to analyze the spaces adopted, focusing on squares and green areas, from 2014 to 2018 and the Program itself. The data obtained from the documentation in the Municipal Secretariat of Urbanism and Environment and its website are used to discuss who are the adopters, what types of urban spaces are being adopted, in which regional ones these are located and what year these adoptions occur. In general, it was verified that there was an increasing number of public space adoptions during the analyzed years of the Program. These adoptions are motivated both by the sense of social responsibility of the community and by the interest of environmental marketing of companies. However, despite the growth in number of adoptions over the years, this does not mean that the Program is being effective. It is necessary that there be a monitoring of the adopted areas to verify the engagement of the adopters in assisting the City.
