Campo Limpo District, Administrative district in southern São Paulo, Brazil.
Campo Limpo is an administrative district in southern São Paulo comprising residential neighborhoods spread across a substantial area. The zone contains numerous streets, public squares, and small commercial centers that structure daily life for its inhabitants.
The district emerged through land acquisition and settlement in the mid-twentieth century, starting as a rural zone with farms and later becoming residential. The transition from countryside to urban area occurred between the 1970s and 1990s as streets and homes were rapidly constructed.
The name comes from the open fields that once defined the area, now replaced by residential neighborhoods and local markets. People use the streets and public spaces as centers of everyday life, where neighbors meet and shop together.
Visitors can orient themselves by using the main streets that connect the district and lead to local markets. Public transportation is widely available throughout the zone, making it easy for pedestrians and travelers to move around.
The district borders four neighboring districts, making it a key transition point in southern São Paulo. This central location was a reason why this area became one of the city's fastest-growing residential zones.
