Impacts of urban legislation on the landscape and built environments in the city of Rio de Janeiro

The present project is a development of the researches carried out since 2004 on the influence of Urban Legislation in the transformation of the landscape in the city of Rio de Janeiro. The method used by the present project is based on the analysis criteria developed in the Master's and Doctorate works completed in 2010 and 2014 respectively and is linked to research by the Rio de Janeiro Free Spaces System Group (SEL / RJ) coordinated by Professor Dra. Vera Regina Tângari.

The expansion of large real estate corporations in the 2000s culminated in an increase in interest in large residential building condominiums located in different areas of the more consolidated regions of Brazilian cities. In the case of the city of Rio de Janeiro, the implementation of the transport system known as BRT in the west zone enabled the expansion of the real estate market, supported by new building stances, with the construction of new vertical condominiums. This research will work specifically in the analysis of future scenarios in the regions where new urban legislation is being proposed, contributing to the discussions about the expansion of the city for its consequences in the urban landscape, in the system of free spaces and in its urban form.
