Descrição
A vila ferroviária de Paranapiacaba, pertencente ao município de Santo André (SP), tem seu núcleo urbano localizado no topo da Serra do Mar, recebendo originalmente a denominação de Alto da Serra. Sua origem deveu-se à construção da primeira ferrovia paulista, a São Paulo Railway Company Ltd (SPR), empresa constituída em Londres, responsável também pela implantação e administração das Vilas Velha e Martin Smith. O trabalho realizou o levantamento, análise e discussão das transformações da vila ferroviária de Paranapiacaba, em especial de sua arquitetura e dos traçados dos três núcleos urbanos existentes, a Parte Alta, a Vila Velha e a Vila Martin Smith, cujas implantações se deram em momentos distintos e de formas diferentes. Constatamos que no período de 1860 a 1946, em que a SPR esteve sob controle inglês, foi instalada em Paranapiacaba uma moderna infra-estrutura urbanística para a realidade brasileira daquela época, representando um exemplo pioneiro e único de cidade empresarial projetada, construída e administrada pela SPR, que ainda preserva parte significativa de suas características arquitetônicas e urbanísticas originais.
