Barueri, like most municipalities in the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo, has an average annual temperature of 18 degrees Celsius, and its original vegetation is that of the Atlantic Forest. The economy of Barueri is based on the collection of taxes from the provision of services. In 1973, a 500-hectare plot of land purchased in Barueri, the Tamboré Farm, gave rise to one of the most famous neighbourhoods in Brazil, Alphaville. Today, the neighbourhood is one of the largest industrial and commercial hubs in the state and generates most of the city's tax revenue.
The city gained national notoriety through sport. With the construction of the Arena Barueri, the city began to host major sporting events, and the club Grêmio Barueri competed in the Brazilian Série A championship in 2009.
