TTHE UNEVEN PRODUCTION OF URBAN SPACE AS A FACTOR IN THE FORMATION OF DIFFERENT LANDSCAPES

Abstract

Landscape is everything our vision reaches, being able to be natural or cultural, depending on the modifications made by humans, this article highlights the relationship of the landscape with the context of the place in which it is inserted, whether by inequalities, infrastructures, public policies or the lack thereof. Two different neighborhoods will be discussed, one located in Salvador, the Pernambués neighborhood, which is located in a central and highly valued area, and the Vidigal Favela in the city of Rio de Janeiro, which has a privileged location in an area of great appreciation. The locations differ, but they have similarities in the relationship of how investments and valorization impact the construction of an urban space. Therefore, based on field observations, it became evident how public and private investment, or lack thereof, in certain localities produce different types of landscapes. In this work, we use neighborhoods from different Brazilian cities as a scale to analyze the landscape contrast that has formed in these places due to the different interests of social agents in the production of urban space.
