Abstract

The article compares urban legislation and its spatialization in
buildings with free ground, in São Paulo, Brazil and New York, USA, during the same period. In São Paulo, from 1930, with the Prestes Maia Avenues Plan, road works boosted real estate production in the new city center, constructing buildings with galleries or joint buildings (multifunctional programs), which favored commercial use of the free ground. The Municipal legislation provided this architectural solution as a counterpart for buildings verticalization. Afterwards, this model spread
to the areas of the Paulista and Faria Lima avenues. In New York, from 1960, mainly in Downtown and Midtown, the local legislation encouraged the construction of Privately OwnedPublic-Spaces. These were transition areas between public and private spaces, initially as open areas named plazas or covered areas named arcades. The comparison shows that in New York, there is a considerable amount of these spaces that do not articulate with urban road works. In São Paulo, on the other hand, road works were used to produce passages and galleries. In both cases, the benefits to the permeability and connectivity of the urban fabric are relevant.
