true, but Jardim Paulista is one of several neighborhoods named Jardins (for those who dont understand portuguese, Jardim means Garden) in the area... all administered by the subprefecture of Pinheiros (Pines)
The logical conclusion is that these names all predate the concrete sea... and just 50 years ago, there were mansions with huge gardens in the area.
Still, even now, most of the buildigns there are condos with vast areas and thus lots of greenery around.
