Abstract

Research: (1) Exploring the role of infrastructure in transforming the metropolitan region of São Paulo into a sustainable metropolitan environment by utilizing the existing infrastructure as a backbone for future economic, environmental and social development. (2) Exploring the opportunity of infrastructure as a key strategy for the inclusion of detached (often informally developed) regions within the formal structure of the city. Design: Proposal for a multimodal mobility station in the North-East region of São Paulo. Integrating sustainable modes of mobility (i.e. Bus, Railway, Metro) with slow traffic zones (Cycling and Pedestrians) and the specific local context (social, environmental & economical).
