But in the other hand, with higher quality life. But there is a problem: the city needs to increase the density and improve the economy to offer better conditions to live, with dynamic, safe, pleasant and used places. With a careful survey and register of environmental resources, water paths and zoning, we can understand how the city works with its flows, and then propose actions to diversify the uses respecting the environment.
