Abstract

The city of Três Rios, located in the central-southern region of the state of Rio de Janeiro, underwent significant territorial and demographic expansion due to its proximity to important transportation routes, such as the BR-040, connecting Rio de Janeiro to Belo Horizonte, and the North-South Railway, connecting it to other parts of Brazil. This expansion brought both positive and negative aspects to the region. In the pursuit of understanding these impacts, data was collected from printed sources, such as articles, master plans, and photographic images, as well as online material about the city. A list of 'neighborhoods' was also compiled, and subsequently, a land subdivision map was developed. This material serves as an essential tool for understanding local dynamics and expansion beyond the consolidated territory, providing indicators of growth vectors and enabling the planning of actions to reduce environmental risks and damages.
