The present work develops the concept of Green Infrastructure applied to the system of green spaces in São Paulo city, focusing, more specifically, the area of the Pinheiros River valley. Particularly considers the Ibirapuera and Villa Lobos parks as the main core areas of the green infrastructure, which are joined by a great Green Corridor, structured by bike lanes and ecological pavements pedestrian paths, covering several areas of Moema and Vila Leopoldina districts (at right shoulder) as well as Morumbi and Butantã (at left shoulder), alternated with garden districts and dotted with parks, institutional areas, clubs and zones of intense socio-cultural activities.
