Abstract

This research intends to get and apply a computational tool to represent the underground urban space and how it has been used. As there is no space on the level of the soil to install new infra-structure systems, underground has been occupied in an inadequate way, sometimes without basic technical cares, causing problems to the population and to the environment. Using the computational tool, it will be possible to represent the interferences that exists in some particular areas of the underground of Sao Paulo city, contributing for the optimization of new projects and a better management of constructions.
