Olhares Urbanos
Olhares Urbanos (lit. Urban looks) is an app created in 2014 by the Municipal Department of Urban Development of the City of São Paulo to involve the citizens in the revision of the Zoning Law; that is, the review of the urban planning tools for the city, the update of the land division, use and occupation rules. Citizens can send photos related to the six parameters analyzed by the city hall: mixed use, active façade, public enjoyment, visual permeability of the ground, urban pavements and green façade or roof. Until January 2017, there were no consolidated reports with information on this initiative; the only information available were the photos available on the website and app.
