The Consolação Street is an artery of São Paulo metropolitan area that plays an important role in structuring the city's urban grid. It is part of the connection between the old Downtown - in the historical hills - to the districts of the Southwest region of São Paulo. In the beginning it was the old path of Pinheiros or Sorocaba, and also the access road of the flag missions. Departing from the downtown area a slope that in ancient times was known as the Consolação ramp, and was the way to the distant eponymous cemetery because, when it was built, in the mid-nineteenth century, it was far from the urban core. Consolação was once one of the paths traveled by the Indians were already on American land before the Portuguese. It was one of the excerpts from the pre-Cabral´s trail, Peabiru, which the Guarani indian tribe traveled from their villages on the Paraguayan territory to the Brazilian coast, in search of the abundance of food. One of Peabiru's endings was in São Vicente - on the coast of São Paulo - and a fragment of that route is on the Consolação Street. As the city of São Paulo was developing Consolação was consolidating. The study investigated the Consolação Street in the stretch between Paulista Avenue and the downtown region until the 1970s, when the street went through the last major changes in its physical structure.
