Presented by the Grupo CCR (Concessão de Rodovias), the study Veículo leve sobre trilhos,(rail concessions)details how The area denominated as 'Centro' (center), despite its terminology, does not have a central geographical position in the city of Rio de Janeiro - In this case, rather than to location, the term 'central' refers to the concentration of economic, administrative, financial and cultural institutions. The residential function that was initially formed in the development of the region was gradually substituted for metropolitan commerce and finance. The projects outlined by the government bodies: federal, state and municipal, connected to the advent of the World Cup in 2014 and the Olympics in 2016, have caused a new avalanche of investments in a diverse range of niche urban spaces - The district of Glória, neighbor to Centro, gained elevated significance and notoriety thanks to public investments of an urban and private nature, as is the case with Hotel Glória and the Marina da Glória. |
