Based on a methodology that uses strategies for the induction and projection of different scenarios, intervention proposals were elaborated in Paraisópolis, which respected the pre-existing conditions as much as possible.

The challenge was to understand a unique area, distinct from the so-called "Formal City", which should make possible the growth of this "organism" and its maintenance based mainly on its economic functioning and spatial boundaries.

As an additional factor, there was a mix of students from different semesters working in the same team, which makes possible a greater exchange of knowledge and different ways of seeing and thinking about the city.
