The project for integrated urbanization of these settlements was an interdisciplinary and participatory process. Several meetings were organized with the population so that they could understand the project and be part of the process of modifying their own neighborhood. We believe that understanding the territory and community participation / reading are important parts of the process of local change.

The stream in front of this complex, previously polluted, becomes the attraction of a new public area. The three small retention basins, the recovery of the riparian forest and the surrounding land, the grassy terrace, the generously sized deck and the offer of trade and services on the ground floor make up a powerful, symbolic and binding public space.

The shopping center on Rua Santa Rita de Cássia occupies the entirety of a triangular block located at the entrance of the neighborhood on one of the streets of the proposed binary system. Taking advantage of this situation, there is a bus stop with a pedestrian lane aligned with the entrance of this building, which functions as a gallery that connects two roads.

The implantation of the buildings occurs in parallel to the contour lines over an old risk area, where the geotechnical consolidation works will constitute a possible basis for the reoccupation of the slope with new houses, preventing the area from being subject to new irregular occupations.

The gallery located at Rua do Cruzeiro is configured as a crossing space for pedestrians, which still has a kind of square on both sides and gives access to an important green living area, the grotto reconstituted as a park, a combination of geotechnical containment and micromobility added to the landscape qualification and environmental recovery.
