O programa Bairrinho nas favelas de Praia da Rosa e Sapucaia (RJ)

Abstract

This follow-up study presents the previous qualitative results of the urbanization of the slums of Praia da Rosa and Sapucaia, implemented by the Municipality of Rio de Janeiro, through the Bairrinho Program, in 1996-1998. It is a theoretical and empiric study which will be completed by the update of the Census made before this intervention in both slums. We aim to verify the contribution of this policy in order to modify the condition of social inclusion/exclusion of inhabitants in these areas. Different processes related to the phenomenon of urban inclusion/exclusion have been considered on this research.
