secondary activities. Immigration was favorable to the<br />
growth of cultural societies and a sense of mutual help<br />
towards educational and social development.<br />
The 1929 coffee crisis brought the agricultural<br />
sector to a halt; thus, with their varied and diversified<br />
knowledge, immigrants started working in urban<br />
environments such as offices, commerce and factories,<br />
as well as providing services and playing a role in civil<br />
construction. All the while, farmers started pouring<br />
their profit into several ventures in <strong>São</strong> Carlo: banks,<br />
electricity companies, trams, phone booths, water<br />
and sewage systems, theaters, hospitals and schools,<br />
strengthening the city’s urban infrastructure and<br />
industrialization.<br />
With the aid of immigrant craftiness, the industrial<br />
sector became the main source of revenue in <strong>São</strong> <strong>Carlos</strong>,<br />
which, in the 50’s, was known as a relevant industrial<br />
expression manufacturing center among inner cities<br />
in the State of <strong>São</strong> Paulo. In the 50’s and 60’s, the<br />
industrial sector was consolidated by the installation<br />
of fridge, compressor and tractor factories, as well as a<br />
great number of small and medium-sized companies,<br />
which provided products and services.<br />
The impulse for technological and educational<br />
development in <strong>São</strong> <strong>Carlos</strong> was nursed to existence<br />
by the immigrants; however, in April 1953, the<br />
implementation of the Escola de Engenharia de <strong>São</strong><br />
<strong>Carlos</strong> (<strong>São</strong> <strong>Carlos</strong> Engineering School), associated with<br />
the Universidade de <strong>São</strong> Paulo (U<strong>SP</strong>) gave the city a<br />
new, different reputation. In the 70’s, the sector was<br />
improved upon and even qualified a tad further when<br />
the Universidade Federal de <strong>São</strong> <strong>Carlos</strong> (UFSCar) was<br />
inaugurated.<br />
