This area is going to be this paper's object due to successive interventions which in larger quantities faced traffic changes, and because of these transformations in course became relevant to analyze the urban landscape of this region that will be dramatically altered The intention is to present the impacts of the transformation of the center of Taquara district, including the land use and occupation, and the possible creation of new strategic hubs for the city, serving as an experience to other district centers affected by TransCarioca and even other road corridor under study.
