We can see, to the left, part of the Museum of Art of the city, a concrete building built in 1968, designed by Lina Bo Bardi. This area also has bank headquarters, cultural places, public transportation. We can also see a bike path under construction. 2. Two invisible information: This avenue (and especially this area) is a place of public and political protests and important celebrations for the citizens like New Year's Day, City Marathon,etc. The relevance of this avenue makes the place a region with problematic mobility, for pedestrians and for cars. 3. Being an relevant area, financially and culturally, it is important for urban plannners to find alternatives and solutions to release the area when critical events happens, avoiding problems of over-crowding and car's traffic, for example.
