After a world conflict that took place in 2033, most of the planet was destroyed. The surviving population sought new lands in emerging countries that weren’t involved. The fast population growth resulted in new ways of living and moving, and chaotic urbanscapes suddenly emerged, overlapping the old cities.
400 years later, Salvador (Bahia, Brazil) preserves some traces of its past civilization. In the landscape of the city there’s presence of historical, cultural and social heritage, permeated by complex systems of logistics and urban infrastructure.
The city has always had mobility and logistics issues, and new forms of mobility have solved most of them. There is a continuous flow of people and goods on different levels, underground, above ground, connections between and over buildings, in the sky, at sea and in multimodal travels.
Buildings are efficient and self-sufficient. The old streets became squares that create connections between urban spaces, they’re no longer used by cars. The use of cable cars helped to solve historical social differences, connecting the upper and lower cities.
