Urban Renewal and Development Program of Santos

closed

The objective of the TC is to assist the Federal Port Authority, the State of Sao Paulo government (CDHU) and the municipality of Santos, in defining a joint proposal for the urban renewal and development of the port city of Santos. The historic quarters of Santos have been subject to an intense process of renewal during the past years. The specific objectives consist in assisting the authorities in: (i) defining long term objectives for the current process of urban renewal; (ii) defining the specific project components and its financing; (iii) defining the legal agreements necessary for the execution and administration of a complex project involving various public organisms and the private sector. The Port Authority, CDHU and the city of Santos have agree that French experience would be critical to help the Brazilian preparation team for the design of the core housing and other urban redevelopment projects (historic Center) using intervention instruments and ad hoc institutions based on French experience in the area (such as The Euro-Med in Marseille).
