Abstract

Jardín América, the first garden district of the city of São Paulo, has been legally protected by the Council for the Defense of the Historical, Archaeological, Artistic and Tourist Heritage of the State of São Paulo (Condephaat) since 1985. This registry includes the proposal for the preservation of its morphological and landscape characteristics. Since its conception, based on the garden city model of Ebenezer Howard, the district designed by Barry Parker and Raymond Unwin (1913) was responsible for establishing an urban pattern, locally known as garden district, capturing the peculiarities of the local culture for the elaboration of strategies, and constituting an urban reference for the city. This article proposes a historical reading of the creation and evolution, contributing to the conceptualization based on the model of modern urbanism, leading to the process of its recognition as an icon of the historical heritage of the city of São Paulo.
