ZENATO, Caroline  and  SILVA, André Souza. Requalification of Residual Spaces Waterfronts in Brazil: The Cases of Porto Maravilha and Cais José Estelita. CIDADES [online]. 2017, n.35, pp.39-60. ISSN 2182-3030.  https://doi.org/10.15847/citiescommunitiesterritories.dec2017.035.art03.

The present research aims to identify sustainable strategies used in the requalification of urban voids located in brazilian port areas, in order to productively restructure them, attempting to the community's interests. The study analyzes, specifically, the intervention projects Maravilha Port, in Rio de Janeiro, and the proposal for the José Estelita Pier, in Recife. The proposed method consists in (i) revising some instruments of the City Statute, in (ii) the understanding around the urban voids' formation and in (iii) the analysis of solutions adopted for the refunctionalization of city's sectors, as the urban marketing. From the comparative study, it is possible to verify that the port urban voids' recovery depend crucially on integrated urban planning, centered on the social and cultural needs of communities rooted around the intervention area.
