Gentrificação e combate ao racismo ambiental: Estudo de caso do Horto Florestal do Rio de Janeiro

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the relationship between environmental racism and gentrification in Brazil through a case study of Horto Florestal in Rio de Janeiro. The methodology is based on a bibliographic review using indirect data, so that the text was constructed using a qualitative approach to primary sources (official documents from federal organizations) and secondary sources (reports and academic texts produced by experts, newspapers, and bibliographic reviews) that helped to deepen knowledge on the subject. It was understood that gentrification and environmental racism have increased in recent years, so the research aimed to demonstrate the different views and directions on environmental racism in gentrification processes, its socio-environmental impacts that generate discrimination and socio-spatial segregation, as well as the forms of resistance and possible solutions to the case.
