Convida Suape is a sustainable urban extension of the city of Cabo de Santo Agostinho near Recife, the capital city of the State of Pernambuco, and will result in the transformation of a 470 ha area to accommodate up to 100,000 inhabitants.

The practice's design was delivered by a world-class integrated team of master planners, urban designers, architects, landscape architects and branding specialists based in its São Paulo, Lisbon and London offices.

It promotes a compact urban model for walkability and sustainable access to learning, healthcare and employment. It features green buildings and new building typologies with integrated utility provision, will enhance the natural landscape and river corridors, and includes a substantial ongoing habitat restoration program.

The city will be built in four phases with 10 distinct neighborhoods providing 25,000 new homes set in 154 ha of open space, as well as substantial provision for new businesses, health, education and leisure activities.

Practice Director Margarida Caldeira said: "Convida Suape will set a benchmark for strategic urban development and city expansion projects in North Eastern Brazil, now one of the fastest growth areas in the world. The launch is testament to the integrated work of our world-class team of design experts delivering on our client's ambitions in partnership with its stakeholders."
