Officially , the central area is bounded by districts of Municipality Cathedral . However , the social perception of what is called `` center of São Paulo '' varies and may include other areas of city . Until the creation of the administrative office of the Cathedral , the notion of `` center '' was equivalent to the region of the former administration regional office , who also included the districts of Brás and Pari , currently covered by a Municipality of Mooca . The concept of a central area of São Paulo , however , is wider depending on the study is done about the region and may include items such as financial centers Paulista Avenue and Berrini .
The Central Zone (Portuguese: Zona Central de São Paulo) is an administrative zone of the city of São Paulo, Brazil. One of the largest commercial and business districts in South America, the region is administered by the subprefecture of Sé. It is not concurrent, although often confused, with the regions known as Centro Expandido (Expanded Center), a broader area used by the city government for urban planning and road space rationing actions and Centro Histórico de São Paulo (São Paulo Historic Center), which, as the name implies, includes only the oldest part of the central region.
