SAY NO TO ROADS
Roads sin São Paulo are completely saturated. There’s no space for more cars since traffic jams are constant and both private cars and public transport are not working properly. CEAGESP is one of the most problematic points in the city, suffering mobility problems and urban congestion due to the traffic in the highway and the trucks and vans coming daily to the complex to sell and buy products. But...what should we do to solve these problems?
PREPARED TO FLY?
Can we transform the traditional ground related mobility systems into air based ones? An automatic product mobility belt is proposed to reorder CEAGESP, keeping trucks out of the complex by using loading/unloading docks connected to elevated platforms which move the goods automatically from docks to storages and vice versa. Aerial alternatives are proposed also for public transport, public spaces and connections between both riversides. São Paulo is the city with more helicopters in the world due to the difficulties to move using traditional means of transport, but they are expensive so they are just a solution for rich people. Can we offer aerial mobility systems to other classes of people as well?

CEAGESP IS YOUR FRIEND!
Due to this new mechanical platform, CEAGESP is to be transformed into a big public space dedicated to both cultural and comercial purposes. It’s not going to be junkspace anymore, but and dynamic platform for activity and social interaction.
URBAN CONNECTION
These systems solve the problems in CEAGESP, but not just that. Aerial systems should improve the urban mobility all around the city, connecting neighborhoods that were previously disconnected such as Jaguare and Vila Leopoldina. Since they’re a serious alternative to traditional ground systems it will reduce the number of cars driving around the city and so the urban congestion.
