The urbanization and revitalization project for Orla da Praia das Pedrinhas aims to transform this coastal area into a vibrant and welcoming space, enhancing the rich local ecosystem through the integration of users with the beach, mangrove areas, and other natural and cultural elements. The proposal seeks to reimagine the waterfront with the creation of new living and leisure spaces, prioritizing pedestrian use and restricting vehicle traffic through alternatives such as shared streets and traffic calming strategies. The project involved Survey, Conceptual Proposal, Basic Design, and finally Executive Design.
