Synopsis
- Presents São Paulo's prudent and inclusive policy in urban development and infrastructure planning as a prime example among mega-cities in emerging countries for how to tackle many of the major social challenges they face
- The city's focus is on programs and usages serving the permanent residents rather than iconic, tourist-orientated projects such as museums
- The book features projects realised and planned since the 1960s that exemplify the underlying concepts and strategies
Like all mega-cities around the globe, São Paulo faces huge challenges. Yet despite these manifold and daunting tasks, the Brazilian metropolis has since the 1960s maintained a prudent policy of investing in communal infrastructure, thus providing inclusive places and spaces for all of its 20m-population. While many cities aim for a 'Bilbao-effect' by funding iconic, tourist-orientated projects such as museums or theatres, São Paulo persistently supports programs and usages that serve its permanent residents.
This book, published in conjunction with an exhibition at A.M. Architekturmuseum der TU München, features a selection of these buildings and programs from five decades. Ranging from a simple canopy over a public park to vast multifunctional buildings, they provide spaces for sports and culture, education, healthcare, or gastronomy. Rather than merely serving a specific purpose, their key role is to be places for people spending time together.
With contributions by Renato Anelli, José Tavares Correia de Lira, Fraya Frehse, Vanessa Grossman, Andres Lepik, Ana Luiza Nobre, Daniel Talesnik, and Guilherme Wisnik; and a conversation with Paulo Mendes da Rocha and Marta Moreira by Enrique Walker. Photographs by Ciro Miguel.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. One of the ten largest cities in the world, Sao Paulo faces huge challenges in urban infrastructure. Yet despite the daunting task of supporting a population of more than twenty million, the Brazilian metropolis has since the 1950s maintained a policy of public and private investment in communal infrastructure, thus providing inclusive places and spaces for all its population. While many cities emulate Bilbao and other destinations by funding signature buildings by celebrated architects to attract tourists, Sao Paulo consistently and persistently funds programs aimed at social sustainability for its permanent residents. Access for All demonstrates how architecture and infrastructure can contribute to a citys urban development in multiple ways. Featuring a selection of buildings and projects from across seven decades, it takes readers through the citys distinctive approach to urban infrastructure. The featured spaces range from a simple canopy over a public park to spaces for education, health care, sports and culture, and more. Beyond serving a specific purpose, one of the key roles of these spaces is to be accessible places for people to spend time together. Presents Sao Paulo's prudent and inclusive policy in urban development and infrastructure planning as a prime example among mega-cities in emerging countries for how to tackle many of the major social challenges they face Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Obwohl São Paulo wie alle Megacitys mit grossen Problemen kämpft, hat die brasilianische Metropole seit Jahrzehnten weitblickend in ihre urbane Infrastruktur investiert - Bauten, die darauf abzielen, faire und inklusive Orte für die zwanzig Millionen Einwohnerinnen und Einwohner zu schaffen. Während viele Städte auf einen architektonischen und vor allem touristischen «Bilbao-Effekt» abzielen, setzt São Paulo beharrlich auf Programme und Nutzungen für die Menschen, die in der Stadt wohnen. Das englischsprachige Buch präsentiert diese Bauten und Projekte und zeigt ihre Chancen und Potenziale. Die ausgewählten Beispiele reichen von einer Überdachung in einem öffentlichen Park bis hin zu grossen multifunktionalen Gebäuden - von den 1960ern bis in die Gegenwart. Architektur schafft Infrastruktur und umgekehrt: São Paulo zeigt, wie es gelingt, dass Bauten weit über ihre funktionalen Aufgaben hinaus Orte des Miteinanders schaffen.
