Human beings are increasingly urban. We need to contribute to better cities.
The most sustainable cities in the world are dense. People should live close to where they work. Sidewalks should have people from different social classes going to the bakery, the market, the school, the studio.
It is very expensive to transport people further and further away. In a dense city, it is possible to have more bus and subway lines. More people in a smaller area of land makes the entire urban infrastructure more viable. When people walk or use public transportation, there is less pollution. The social friction of different classes is the phenomenon that makes the city the true place of opportunity.
For denser and more sustainable cities, Planta.Inc. enables the activation of underutilized properties in the central region and other neighborhoods of São Paulo. By building diverse and comfortable plans in well-designed buildings built in the past, Planta.Inc. aims to bring people from the most diverse backgrounds together.
Good buildings built in the past were generous, made with quality materials and solid structures. Today, many of them are empty.
With operations that began in the Vila Buarque region and are now expanding to other neighborhoods in the city, Planta.Inc. identifies buildings, conducts a comprehensive assessment and promotes retrofitting with renowned architecture firms in the city. It creates intelligent condominiums, with good leisure areas and varied and comfortable housing units, without exception.
