The city

Landmark: Pelourinho Historic Centre & Elevador Lacerda.

• The Urban Infrastructure Secretariat manages the Elevador Lacerda — Brazil's first urban elevator, a 1930s cliff face vertical transit structure that carries over 50,000 passengers daily between the Upper City's commercial centre and the Lower City's port waterfront, requiring constant mechanical overhaul and heritage facade preservation.
• The Bahia State Culture Secretariat cofunds the restoration of 400-year-old colonial mansions in Pelourinho — the largest collection of 17th and 18th century Baroque architecture in the Americas — balancing earthquake micromonitoring, salt humidity masonry treatment, and active community residency within the living heritage district.

How a term works

Take office and every day brings a live situation from the city's services: a decision to make and a result that is measured. A term is scored on approval, infrastructure, environment and innovation, inside the city's budget, and every mayor's work adds to Salvador's own record on the Board of Mayors. Message and chat with other mayors, form a council with friends, trade with nearby cities and send aid. Cities rise together.
