Abstract

The idea to recuperate the streams at Barra Funda District in São Paulo, seizing its revitalized banks for sustainable mobility, is the objective of this research. Walking, running and cycling are activities that include sustainable mobility. Besides the social, environmental and economic concerns, which form the tripod of sustainability, there must have a new vision of the world with another look on the urban occupation. The restoration of urban streams provides a new vision of the site, a worldwide trend nowadays, when sustainable urban planning is focused.
