REMOÇÕES E MEGAEVENTOS NO RIO DE JANEIRO: a luta de resistência dos moradores da Vila Autódromo

Abstract

The city of Rio de Janeiro has gone through major urban transformation with the construction of sports facilities, recovery of areas considered degraded and investments in the transportation sector since it was chosen for the 2016 Olympic Games. Many slums located in areas with great real estate valorization were total or partially destroyed under the pretext of the preparation of the city. This paper aims to analyze the period of preparation of the city for the Olympic Games and the social impacts resulting from this process, especially in the case of the slum Autódromo Village, located near the Olympic Park, where it concentrated the majority of the sports equipment to carry out the competitions.
