A produção da cidade olímpica e os sinais da crise do modelo globalitário

Abstract

Over the past three or four decades, olympic urbanism have become large-scale expensive projects, with highly visible impacts on social and environmental issues in each host city. However, the last five years have show an increasing global consciousness against high public cost of these events, the violence in large-scale evictions of poor people under gentrification interests and the building of the so--called white elephants. The olympic system has perceived the crisis and decided change its globalitarian rules, through Agenda 2020. We aim to examine this new scenery of global transition and verify how Rio de Janeiro 2016 may be the last edition of the worldwide contested urbanism olympic.
