In 2018, the City of São Paulo enacted Law 16.833, which established the creation of the Minhocão Municipal Park and, consequently, the gradual decommissioning of the João Goulart Elevated Highway's vehicular function. This act, along with the series of events that led to it, inspires us to reflect not only on the future of urban mobility—which is increasingly sensitive to social issues—but, more importantly, on the public's urgent demand for more leisure spaces amidst contemporary urban chaos.
Against this backdrop, the 31st ideas competition from Projetar.org invites students and young professionals to envision the Minhocão Park—a linear park located in the heart of São Paulo that offers full public access throughout the year.
