The large remaining section of the city was urbanized to modern standards: wide roads, regular blocks laid out orthogonally, and lots with large dimensions - However, the port neighborhoods were kept, to a certain extent, at the margins of the city, because while the central nucleus suffered heavy verticalization, Saúde, Gamboa and Santo Cristo maintained the same form - Afterwards, in the 1960s and 1970s, the construction of the Viaduto da Perimetral (Perimeter Viaduct) strengthened the rupture, separating even further these neighborhoods from the rest of the city. |
