A cidade rompendo correntes: a evolução do direito urbanístico no Rio de Janeiro (1991/2011)

Abstract

This monograph deals with the transformations in the urban area of Rio de Janeiro - RJ, proposals for legal support for the last two Master Plans. Favela Bairro and Living Carioca Programs, represent the social and environmental changes in this space, from the changes in their shapes, functions, structures and processes of upgrading over time and history. The aim of this study is to analyze the recent transformations in urban areas where they settled the so-called substandard clusters, targeted for restructuring and sanitation, installation of electrical networks, access roads and other facilities that aimed to integrate these spaces to the design of the city, making them less unequal. It was observed that the urban sprawl of the capital, the emergence of sub centers coupled with population growth have contributed to the characterization of such areas where poetry and bucolic air of the old slums not stand with the modernities of the structures created. Its population tends to change, either by migrating to other areas either by changing their way of life. It can be seen that the process of revitalization or redevelopment of these areas has taken place in cities / capitals. Priority, port areas, where capital was invested in urban infrastructure and equipment, and misuse or disuse, for any areas became economically unattractive, either because they fear it become the target of thieves. With the process of urban expansion there is a decline of downtown areas in which historic buildings continually suffer distortion, damping, with ulterior purposes, counterclaims of buildings protected by economic forces, retrofitting buildings of historical value and and economic expropriation of buildings or areas without buildings that disfigure their initial aspects accompanied by a deterioration in their facades, through reforms and demolitions. Following this trend, the "Capitals Cities" has experienced a devaluation of its historical center which is gradually losing its historical character and a frantic push for such areas to be profitable again by the lack of expansion space in the City. This context insert "communities of the city", areas of subnormal settlements - slums, which is now configured in Administrative Regions, that is the conflicts generated by living or their administrative singularities
