“Avenida Brasil - Everything Passes By Those Who Don’t See? "the formation and occupation of a highway suburb in Rio de Janeiro (1930-1960)

Resumo

The theme of this article is Avenida Brasil, in Rio de Janeiro. If Avenida Brasil is themajor theme, then the consequences for the city of Rio de Janeiro of constructing the Avenue in the first half ofthe twentieth century is the object. I start from the assumption that from the construction of the avenue a newstructuring axis of the city expanded along the edge of Guanabara Bay, producing a new spatial configurationfor the previously uninhabited locality with factories, working class housing, and growing slums. I also discussthe hypothesis that the Avenue has caused the development of an “automobile suburb” or “highway suburb”,in contrast to the suburbs bordering train or tram lines, already established from the turn of the nineteenthto the twentieth centuries.
