Description
Summary:This paper analyzes several examples of forced moving, mostly affecting the poorest people in Rio de Janeiro, while the upcoming 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympics are approaching. If one part of the eviction process is planned by the city through various types of public policies (environmental protection, urban mobility, urban revitalization and sports equipments), there is also an "invisible" eviction process more related to the security and the gentrification in some favelas. The Human Rights defenders are focused on the city and resistance movements are growing. At a more global scale, new urban strategies and logics would lead to a redefinition of the socio-spatial organization, constantly pushing back poverty to the periphery.
