Integração Socioespacial : projetos contemporâneos de habitação de interesse social no estado do Rio de Janeiro

Abstract

This dissertation investigates socio-spatial integration in Social Housing (HIS) projects, focusing on multi-family building complexes developed by the "Casa a Gente" Program in the state of Rio de Janeiro. The study differentiates integration from urban insertion, analyzing the relationship of the developments with their immediate surroundings and the articulation between buildings and the urban fabric. Based on discussions related to the historical process of socio-spatial segregation, the urban fabric, and urbanity, the research used bibliographic and documentary review methods, in addition to Raquel Rolnik's Urban Insertion Assessment Tool, to evaluate aspects of project design and integration of four HIS complexes. The survey revealed that socio-spatial integration is frequently treated superficially compared to urban insertion. The results show that, although there are advances in design quality, greater attention is needed for the development of true socio-spatial integration. The dissertation concludes that it is essential to develop social housing projects that promote socio-spatial integration to combat segregation and create more cohesive cities.
