The proposal is to transform the elevated highway known as "Minhocão" in São Paulo, Brazil into an elevated park similar to New York City's High Line park. The 3.4 km long "Minhocão's Park" would provide a recreation area for children, outdoor exercise classes, art exhibits, food trucks and other events. It would reduce noise and air pollution for nearby residents while attracting more tourists and investment. A bike path connecting neighborhoods would offer an alternative to driving and reduce traffic. Potential partners include banks, construction companies, gyms, food companies and hotels.

Presented by Fernando Aleixo

2. Proposal
• The idea is to make a high park inspired by High Line in New York City, creating a leisure area for all families and all
ages - kids, young and old people - to enjoy the day in this new park in the heart of São Paulo, called "Minhocão’s
Park".

3. Defense
• The “Minhocão’s Park” will have 3,4 km of extension. A great recreation area for kids, public gym, little concerts,
art exhibition, gastronomy events like “Food Trucks”, fair, etc. A lot of possibilities for people who live near by could
enjoy instead of a bunch of cars stuck in the same place.

4. Defense
• People who live in front of Minhocão complain about the noise and air pollution of the car traffic. The
“Minhocão’s Park” will bring green areas for these people, valuing your property and attracting tourists and
investment to the neighborhood.

5. Defense
• Create a bike lane in “Minhocão’s Park” will connect the “Roosevelt Square” in São Paulo downtown until
Perdizes, a residential neighborhood. Creating another way to who lives near to the park arrive in the center of
the city instead of going by car.

6. Possible partners
• Banks
• Construction companies
• Gym/Body care/Fitness companies
• Food companies
• Hotels
