Abstract/Hauptbeschreibung
In recent decades, São Paulo has developed a unique urban morphology characterized by the coexistence of lowrise and highrise typologies. The 2014 Plano Diretor Estratégico introduced innovative regulations such as the Fachada Ativa, aimed at improving the relationship between buildings and public space. This paper analyzes the effects of these planning tools on the built environment through the case of the Mooca district, where recent developments highlight tensions between vertical density and traditional horizontal fabric. The study explores how São Paulo's contemporary urban form diverges from established Western models, proposing a critical re?ection on local alternatives to urban growth that integrate smallscale densi?cation, typological innovation, and public space activation.
