The authors of Rio de Janeiro - Cinco séculos de história e transformações urbanas (Rio de Janeiro - Five centuries of urban history and transformations) consider the development of the city through its major events, characters and social transformations, and how it has been shaped and characterized by its geography and topography.

The various authors present texts which reflect on the development of the city's buildings, considering with depth architectural design and the urbanization of spaces.

The work is organized by Augusto Ivan Pinheiro, urban planner and advisor to the Empresa Olímpica Municipal (Municipal Olympic Company).
