In 2014, the area delimited by streets Poço dos Negros, Poiais de São Bento, São Bento, Silva, Pescadores, Mastros, and Gaivotas had a high number of vacant ground floors, a rate that in some of these streets was around 45%.
After mapping the vacant ground floor spaces and identifying respective owners, an online platform was developed to facilitate the communication between owners of vacant ground floors and potential tenants. The platform promoted the (re)occupation of ground floors and publicized current uses and businesses.
