Abstract

In the state of São Paulo, Brazil, the Piracicaba River Valley stands out for its agro-industry, cultural diversity, industrialization and metropolization. During the imperial period, its territorial resources formed the traditional "Sugar Quadrilateral". The soil suitable for planting sugar cane received attention from landowners, financial incentives, public policies and urban-regional planning, resulting in the technological development of sugar-energy and agribusiness, overriding historically established traditional cultures. Despite this, the territory is facing conflicts and the imminent disappearance of the legacy of caipira culture. The time frame of the research is the beginning of sugarcane plantations and the change in the natural landscape, investigating the results currently observed. This article aims to present evidence of the potential for implementing heritage parks along the lines of the methodology used by the Departament d'Urbanisme, Territori i Paisatge (UTP) of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, based on: heritage preservation, education, economic development and leisure. The aim is to help adopt the concept in São Paulo's urban planning debate.
