O PROCESSO DE URBANIZAÇÃO NO BRASIL DA PRIMEIRA REPÚBLICA E A SEGREGAÇÃO SOCIAL CONSEQUENTE

Abstract

This research seeks to investigate, essentially, the urbanization process in Brazil of the First Republic, especially in the context of the Federal District, and how it decisively influenced the phenomenon of social exclusion and the resulting emergence of favelas and a stigmatized social class. An analysis of the historical context of the determined time frame is necessary, namely, the beginning of the 20th century, emphasizing how urban reforms fostered social imbalance in Rio de Janeiro. To carry out this research, the bibliographic review methodology will be used. This bibliographic review is characterized by being analytical and descriptive. The main objective of this method is to expose, in a summarized way, the main ideas already discussed by the researched authors who dealt with the problem, raising criticisms and doubts, when possible. Among all the alleged innovations and urban adaptations, modernity, the poor population, the class of the dispossessed, marginalization was relegated, concentrated in ghettos, even though this was an unplanned process. The emergence of favelas clearly demonstrates that the project, although positive in certain aspects, initiated social segregation, a phenomenon observable until today.
