Un locus amoenus nella metropoli paulistana. La natura del Minhocão

A Locus Amoenus in São Paulo. The Nature of the Minhocão This text explores the story of the Minhocão, the elevated street named after President Artur da Costa e Silva, in the city of são Paulo, brazil. this unique urban planning and social experiment created an infrastructure with a double function and a double life: a vehicular artery during the working week and space for strolling and leisure (to some degree incongruous given its scale and that of other similar situations) on weekends and holidays.
