The project's objective is “to implement the voluntary and sustainable resettlement of the community of Roça Sundy, for improving their living conditions with full respect for human rights and through a participatory approach, applying special care to minimising the environmental and ecological impact during project implementation and focusing on enhancing the sustainable livelihood of community members.”

Following a participatory design process, a plan for the new neighbourhood and four housing typologies –for each household to choose among them– were developed and approved by the project partners, using as green as possible construction techniques.
