João Castro

João Castro is the director of project development at SKR, a prominent real estate development firm in Brazil. He has been vocal about the challenges posed by São Paulo's urban planning regulations, particularly the city's current zoning laws that he argues fail to account for the unique commercial characteristics of different neighborhoods. Castro emphasizes the need for tailored urban solutions that respect the specific needs and identities of local areas, and he has advocated for greater involvement of retail experts in the design of commercial spaces within residential developments.
