Abstract

In the Fall of 2004, CRP had visiting scholar Carlos Leite for post-doctoral studies, research and teaching. He offered a course where students from city and regional planning, landscape architecture, and architecture, were able to study São Paulo, a global city with a population of 18 million people. Students were challenged into innovative projects for the sustainable redevelopment of a railroad brownfield in the high-density central city as an opportunity for positive territorial and social transformations.
