  • There are! And a lot too!

    The thing is: São Paulo is a city made mostly to walk. Going by car is a nightmare, and public transportation (the metro) is quite good. The center of it all, the most iconic place, the “avenida paulista” is quite iconic, but full of gray. The main attraction are the buildings, which are huge. I’d say most of them are banks. And the more you go around, the more you feel the need of green places.

    It’s a big city, there are some huge murals and street art, but it feels cold. As if it was put there just to check a mark on a “good city needs this” list, but not as natural evolution of the city.

    The things I’ve felt there:

    • Huge city, truly makes you feel small
    • The floor, walls and sky are all gray, all the time
    • People are stressed and running to go from place A to place B
    • Lots of homeless people, everywhere. Not a shelter around nor anything close to help those people.
