The focus is egalitarian access to public spaces, to cultural goods, to the collective and social use of the city, as well as to opportunities for employment and income. It is not a study of fares, nor of transport engineering, but rather a study of the possibility of access. Theoretical assumptions from different areas of knowledge were used, and a special methodology was developed to allow us carry out the analysis. Therefore, it is a discussion about socio-spatial justice, something which configures a “just city”. Susan Fainstein (2011) described the principles of a just city as democracy, equality, and diversity. She concluded, based on the research she carried out, that absolute equality in socio-spatial terms is not observable, since the strengthening of some of these principles often causes tension with others. Rather, equality involves respect for the equitable distribution of the “benefits” and “disadvantages” of urban policies. Equality does not at all imply the suppression of frontiers and differences between groups and localities. However, equality considers frontiers as porous, leaving individuals free to choose where they want to circulate and meet, allowing exchanges and the intermixing of different social classes, promoting dialogues which naturally converge or diverge. Access to high capacity transport in this sense becomes a facilitator for this circulation, which is reinforced by the time taken to move around the large Brazilian metropoles. A study published in 2015 by the Sistema FIRJAN demonstrates that over 17 million Brazilians take more than 114 minutes to move between house-work-house in metropolitan regions. Rio de Janeiro was the region with the greatest time of movement, 141 minutes. “In the metropolitan area of Rio de Janeiro, 2.8 million workers take on average 141 minutes to move between house-work-house, considering only those movements above 30 minutes. “ (Sistema FIRJAN, 2015) 6 | DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC POLICY ANALYSIS In this context, the manner in which the city is planned can cause or induce circulation and interaction. The role of the state and urban planning becomes essential to guarantee spaces where it is possible for social mixing, even without guaranteeing interaction or exchanges. On the other hand, it can allow the transformative potential of this meeting between individuals, groups, and social movements to have the possibility of moving and transforming the urban spaces of the city. Despite recognizing the complexity of this question, this study understands that the public authorities cannot avoid implementing policies, even if temporary, to minimize these inequalities. Among these actions, the question of fares has become relevant. The 2013 Jornadas de Junho revealed the importance of this agenda for urban social movements and cannot be neglected in a discussion of urban planning. The objective of this study is to verify if residents of what are defined and denominated here as the primary zones of high capacity stations have their possibility of access and circulation facilitated by the proximity of public transport. The first study presented here is about the Rio de Janeiro metro and BRT. It was found that there is a great variation in the possibility of access to circulation through these types of transport by the people residing in the primary zones of the metro and the BRT. For example, even for an resident in a primary zone of the metro and the BRT who receives vale-transporte (subsidized transport vouchers) during the week to access their place of work, part of their options of leisure could be concentrated far from their residence. The use of forms of transport just at the weekend, for purposes of leisure, can be hindered by the fare and their possibility of access to the city via the BRT or metro can be compromised. According to IPEA (2012): “Residents of Brazilian urban areas use approximately 15% of their income on urban transport, spending on average around five times more on private transport than on public transport in their daily journeys” (IPEA, 2012). These points reinforce that those who have less income, even living close to a high capacity transport station, can have difficulty moving around the city, depending on the percentage of per capita income spent to use types of transport, which is what is shown in the following study.

Praia de Botafogo, 190 Rio de Janeiro, RJ 22250-900 Brazil [email protected] JEL classification: R4 Keywords: Residential property valuation, House prices; Transport innovations ABSTRACT This research assesses the effects of public urban transportation investments on property prices in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Our hypothesis is that opening a new transportation station increases access to the city for properties in their vicinity. The closer to the station, and the more accessibility to jobs the station offers, the more likely it is expected to be valued. Our contributions for this literature are threefold: first, we assess together two types of service, Subway and BRT. Second, we test other variable that represent accessibility, as well as distance to the station. A growing number of transport agencies, particularly in North America and Europe, use similar accessibility analysis to compare the benefits of potential transportation investments and evaluate their social impacts. The third contribution is to use home-sharing data (Airbnb) as a proxy for property prices. It allows us to adopt a fixed effect control variable for houses rather than the traditional hedonic regression approach.

  • José Maurício Saldanha-Álvarez
    A city shaped by crime? A representation of spaces and urban planning and the environment of the city of Rio de Janeiro as a battleground as shown on the movie Elite Squad, by José Padilha. José Maurício Saldanha-Álvarez. Departamento de Estudos Culturais e Mídia Universidade Federal Fluminense [email protected] ABSTRACT: This article seeks to show that since it was founded the city of Rio de Janeiro has fought against the natural environment to create an urban territory where people lived together until the first decade of the twentieth century when the favela appeared. Urban planning has failed to integrate the favela areas with the affluent ones. Under globalization, different social actors who possess wealth and power, including organized crime, aspire to seize control of the urban space by controlling or expelling the poor. This study uses the films Elite Squad I and II - The Enemy Within, to represent the fight against crime in the city of Rio de Janeiro in the transition from modernity to globalization. Crime took root in the favelas by taking advantage of the absence of government authority in those areas, and by using their vermicular layout as a defense. The favela is an area of solidarity and creativity that can produce 10-storey buildings and funk music of international acceptance. Facing globalization favelas dwellers embrace individualism and consumption. We will also draw a parallel with the film The Battle of Algiers (1965) by Gillo Pontecorvo, where control of the population by the antagonists in the fight becomes a military target. KEY WORDS: Capitalism; Practices; Crime; Social promotion.
