History
The council argued the revision was needed because part of the neighbourhoods was emptying out. The change would also have removed use-based protection from part of the neighbourhoods, though zoning law still limits them. Another option for the change, put forward by council president Carlos Augusto Mattei Faggin, was rejected, and the review was then approved automatically. A court accepted a request from Coletivo Jardins, a residents' group. The appeals court found the council did not follow all required steps to change the listing.
