Ferrazópolis urban development
The study for the Ferrazópolis complex was initiated as a part of an ‘Urban Operation’ by São Bernardo do Campo city. The core of this development is located at a rather strategic point. The intersection of 7 inner-city bus lines, the inter-cities bus terminal and the terminal station of the cable car transport for Montanhão, create a multimodal node within the city, rendering it a crucial landmark for future development. It is estimated that on an average day 60,000 visitors will pass through the terminal.
A substantial part of City Hall’s administration offices will be relocated here, relieving not only the already over-burdened Paço Park, but also stimulating the neighbourhood's economic activity. Located alongside the terminal hub, a mall, convention centre, and hotel, as well as housing and offices are all organized around a public square, generating a diverse urban environment.
