In 2005, following the effects of a tornado - a rare event in the region - the administration of Indaiatuba / SP / Brazil understands that resilience requires that all actions be aimed at human development, beyond the collective welfare. The actions to decrease socioeconomic differences should be strengthened in the state of normalcy, meeting the infrastructure demands with planning. In addition, it seeks to increase the opportunities for citizen in all areas of their needs; from preparedness to the generation of possibilities in the promoting its condition.

The city has put citizens at the center of its expansion, considering access and mobility of people and products, sustainable human development and not merely a physical-spatial growth.

Indaiatuba is a city that seeks resilience and the best living conditions for its citizen, who participate fully in its activities as a solid foundation before any adversity and real strength of community reconstruction.
