4 BOULEVARD - urban design rules BOULEVARD - urban design rules CENTRALITIES The centralities that today are already commercial should be more dense and improved, making Antonello da Messina Ave. an important linear centrality with a commercial ground floor. The sidewalks should be extended with bus stops. The existent plazas, witch will be the access to the new riverfront, have to be improved. (see: Centralities, Borders and Valleys) DENSIty In this area, the plan proposes increasing the FAR and a mix of uses by intensify commercial and services. The existing street is wide enough to allow this densification. (see: Centrality and Borders and Valleys) GREEN AND PUBLIC SPACES The proposal rehabilitates the relationship between the city and the river. The riverfront project suggests a revegetation and enlargement of the river, opening to public access, which is now occupied by houses. It also includes a bike loop and a pedestrian way. (see: Borders and Valleys, Green and Public Spaces and Mobility) aerial photo figure - ground density green spaces PUBLIC TRANSPORT and MOBILITY In the Antonello da Messina Ave. (the proposed boulevard), there is a concentration of bus lines that go to different places in São Paulo. The urban plan suggests replacing this inefficient transportation system with several community buses or circle lines and strategic transfer points to inter-regional bus lines as a connection to Tucuruvi Terminal. This boulevard will have two bus lanes (two directions) and in between one lane for cars (one direction). (see: Public Transport and Mobility) 6 7

5 AVenue - urban design rules AVenue - urban design rules FELICIDADE PLAZA school nice views / football field trasmission line PUBLIC TRANSPORT and MOBILITY The three streets that compose Pinheiros St. should be transformed into a pedestrian boulevard, allowing only local access or service and no passing. Therefore, the urban plan proposes a binary street system with a new connection in one way. (See: Mobility and Public Transport) aerial photo figure - ground GREEN AND PUBLIC SPACES The steep hillsides (risk areas) should in the long run be freed from the urbanization. They should be reforested and serve as green and connective spaces for the neighborhood. (See: Mobility and Green Spaces) CENTRALITIES Creating a linear centrality will intensify the existing centralities. Praça da Felicidade could be enhanced by transforming the bus parking area into a qualitative public space. The football field under the transmission line and the access to the local schools should be improved. (See: Centrality) DENSITY Along the axis of Pinheiro St., the plan proposes an increase of building density, which can be built up to seven stories along the sidewalk with no set back. The ground floor should be commercial with active street fronts. (See: Centralities) 8 9

6 gateway / RIVERFRONT - urban design rules gateway / RIVERFRONT - urban design rules status quo DENSITY The indicated yellow areas should be designed as social housing with high density. The red should be densified commercial and service area, taking advantage of the district center. (See: Borders and Valleys and Centrality) aerial photo figure - ground CENTRALITIES In this area a new and greater centrality should be created by taking advantage of the existing uses. problematic PUBLIC TRANSPORT and MOBILITY The riverfront design defines a bike loop with a pedestrian way and several crossings. On the main street, the strategy is to enlarge the actual width, improving accessibility and providing a densification of uses. (See: Borders and Valleys, Centrality, Mobility and zoom in) GREEN AND PUBLIC SPACES The proposal rehabilitates the relationship between the city and de river. The riverfront project suggests a revegetation, an enlargement of the river and an opening of the public access, which is currently occupied by houses. It also proposes a plaza in front of the C.E.U. and the reforestation of the slope near of Tremebé River. This project includes a bike loop and a pedestrian way.

7 gateway to the cantareira - urban design rules gateway to the cantareira - urban design rules PUBLIC TRANSPORT and MOBILITY Two bus lines should be provided in the buffer zone. One community bus for the neighborhood and the other covering a larger area which goes to the new terminal. There is also an aerial tram linking the Zoo with the highest point of Serra da Cantareira. (See: Mobility and Public Transport) GREEN AND PUBLIC SPACES The gateway to the Serra da Cantareira is defined as a green productive buffer zone. It s supposed to be an area with environmental and educational programs, income generation and employment for local residents and a large recreational area for the whole city. Possible uses are eco SPA, family farms with organic food production, a zoo, a research institute and an aerial tram. There should be also wetlands for sewage and drainage.

8 PARK SLOPE - urban design rules PARK SLOPE - urban design rules Public transportation The inefficient existing bus system should be replaced by a community bus line, which facilitates the access within the neighborhood but also to the adjacent neighborhoods. (see: Mobility and Zoom-ins) Green and public spaces The existing cemetery, located on a hill, offers today no public access. The plan suggests transforming the entire area in a public park for the region (100,000 people without a significant green public area). (see: Green Spaces) SESC - bus stop SESC - park aerial photo figure - ground Density The existing characteristic of the predominantly residential neighborhood should be reinforced by active street front typologies by ideally not pushing back the houses. (see: Mobility and Centralities) SESC - square SESC - park Centralities The mainly residential neighborhood should remain its characteristics, completed by a series of corner-shops. The big centralities can be found in the North and South of the neighborhood. sesc SESC - park 14 15

9 GARDEN CITY - urban design rules Centralities and density Amongst the suggested measures is the implementation of a little commercial center. The neighborhood should keep its residential quality; there is no densification foreseen, beyond the suggested implementation of some corner-shops. The biggest densification and verticalization should happen in the new district center and in the area around the new SESC. (see:centralities). public transportation The newly suggested should improve the access to public transportation within the neighborhood. The bus terminal should be relocated close to the new SESC. The strategy also suggests the implementation of a funicular, offering better connections between the Botafogo square and the SESC. GARDEN CITY - urban design rules sesc - square ipanema square aerial photo Green and public spaces The strategy suggests reinforcing the existing qualities of the garden-city -alike neighborhood. This includes the improvement of the existing hotspots and centralities like the Ipanema square and the Botafogo square. It also suggests implementing a little observatory deck overlooking Guarulhos. Those measures are part of a larger continuousgreen-spaces-strategy, which includes the small stretches of land underneath the power lines and pretends to improve substantially the connections and mobility within the entire region.

10 VilLaGE - urban design rules VilLaGE - urban design rules Green and public spaces In the Village, the urban plan suggests implementing or reinforcing green connective spaces, which include the stretches of land underneath the power line. In the long run, the revitalization and reforestation of the hillside is part of the strategy. aerial photo figure - ground Density The characteristic of the neighborhood is a series of hills, which build some kind of a flower. The long-term development strategy suggests limiting the urbanization to a certain altitude (780 meters above sea level). The hillsides should in the long run be freed from urbanization and be reforested. (see: Centralities) Public transportation system and mobility The suggested community bus line connects the centralities along the plateau and guarantees at strategic points connections to the regional bus system. (see: Mobility and Public Transportation). Centralities The suggested strategy suggests intensifying and implementing a series of centralities along the public transportation route on the plateau.

The 220,000 sq. big land should be transformed in a residential and mixed-use neighborhood with social housing, resolving the entire housing demand in the region. Green and public spaces The plan suggests running several pilot projects by implementing wetlands for sewage and storm water treatments. The small stretches of land underneath the power line should be transformed in community gardens and offer opportunities for all kinds of leisure activities. public barbecue community gardens 20 21

17 The SEHAB Urban Plan for Cabuçu de Cima contains four publications: The main booklet present the Urban Plan itself. The alternative Wallpaper* Guide presents a list of hotspots and neighborhood centralities to improve or implement. The Urban Design Rules present densities, functions, access schemes and open space concepts to aim for; according to the Guiding Vision. The Architecture Toolbox presents (physical and programmatic) tools for the residents and municipality to improve the existing building fabric.
