Pantanal Action

Afonso Celso Vanoni de Castro

Pantanal Action presents projects and activities developed in neighborhoods located in the Tietê River basin in the eastern zone of São Paulo (Vila Nova União, Jardim Lapenna, and Jardim Helena), collectively known as the Pantanal, an area subject to periodic flooding and the subject of several public administration projects. It revisits a project initially developed by ZL Vórtice, coordinated by Nelson Brissac, now in partnership with professors from FAU and EE Mackenzie, and coordinated by Afonso Castro.
