Appropriation, use and abandonment of the residual spaces caused by the cable car of Complexo do Alemão, Rio de Janeiro

The city of Rio de Janeiro is experiencing major urban restructuring processes in order to adapt the city to receive two mega sports events, the Soccer World Cup (in 2014) and the Olympic Games (in August 2106). Several of these interventions have been developed in low-income areas, especially in sq...

description The city of Rio de Janeiro is experiencing major urban restructuring processes in order to adapt the city to receive two mega sports events, the Soccer World Cup (in 2014) and the Olympic Games (in August 2106). Several of these interventions have been developed in low-income areas, especially in squatter settlements, on the grounds of safety and urban integration, and the Complexo do Alemão is one of them. A very important urban design and public program happened in the so-called Complexo do Alemão, a set of adjoining favelas. This article analyses the mobility structure of cable cars created in that area and the problems associated with it, particularly the residual spaces originated around the pillars that support the structure. Its organization consists of a general contextualization of the case and a specific observation of some of the mentioned areas. The observation process is based on regular field visits and interviews. The article is based on theories that examine the relationship between the formal and the informal city, where the interests of fractions of capital, especially of infrastructure and real estate, predominate over social concerns. Thus, approaches such as those of J. Jacobs, R. Sennett, J. Gehl, E. Kent, among others, become relevant and should be incorporated in proposals that intend to improve the quality of urban space and turn it into a place of exchange and collective participation. That will give a new meaning to these residual spaces in the favelas. The paper concludes that despite the conflicts and risks associated with this intervention, some positive potentials can also be verified, although unplanned and less visible, related to the residual spaces. It also concludes that government policies should assume and understand the spaces as a possibility for an alternative, more participatory and inclusive planning.Keywords: Complexo do Alemão, residual spaces, cable car.

La ciudad de Río de Janeiro está experimentando importantes procesos de reestructuración urbana en respuesta a los megaeventos deportivos de los cuales está siendo escenario, la Copa Mundial de Futbol (2014) y los Juegos Olímpicos (Agosto 2016). Varias de estas intervenciones han sido desarrolladas en áreas de interés social bajo el argumento de la seguridad y la integración urbana, siendo el Complexo do Alemão una de ellas, donde fue aplicado un importante programa público y diseño urbano. Este artículo analiza la estructura de movilidad del teleférico creado en esa zona y los problemas asociados a ella, principalmente los espacios residuales originados en torno a los pilares que sostienen esta estructura. La metodología utilizada está conformada por una contextualización general y una observación específica a algunos de los espacios mencionados. Este proceso de observación se basó en visitas de registro regulares y entrevistas en terreno. El marco teórico en que el caso se fundamenta responde a la relación entre ciudad formal e informal, en el que la idea de un urbanismo en favelas queda fragilizada ante los intereses de un urbanismo capitalista. De esta forma, planteamientos como los de J. Jacobs, R. Sennett, J. Gehl, E. Kent, entre otros, cobran relevancia al proponer nuevas formas de planificación que valorizan el espacio urbano como un lugar de intercambio y participación colectiva, que pueden dar un nuevo sentido a los espacios residuales en favelas. El trabajo concluye que, a pesar de los conflictos y riesgos asociados a esta intervención, existen también algunas potencialidades positivas, no planificadas y menos visibles asociadas a los espacios residuales que las políticas oficiales deben asumir y comprender como posibilidad de una planificación alternativa, más participativa e inclusiva.Palabras clave: Complexo do Alemão, espacios residuales, teleférico.
