State of Affairs

. Up to the present time, there is no offi cial estimation of how many people are going to be relocated because of Rio’s Olympic UrbanPlan,

. Most of the communities that are going to be re relocated were not yet informed about the government’s plans of resettlement,

. From all the social housing projects mentioned in the UELP only one is being constructed at the moment.

Conclusions

- It is not possible to assure that the 2016 Olympics will succeed in its goal of social inclusion, at least in the perspective of reducing the social-spatial segregation existing in Rio today,

- There are many conceptual divergences between the Olympic Master Plan and Rio de Janeiro Master Plan, especially in relation to social-spatial issues,

- The lack of information and discussion about Rio’s UELP goes against Rio’s Master Plan principle of ‘Participatory Democracy’,

- The way that Rio’s Olympic Master Plan was designed, shows that economic forces are the ones that will most benefi t from the Olympics in Rio,

- The relocation of Vila Autódromo is not based on any well grounded rationale but the one of socio-spatial discrimination,

- The role of the IOC in promoting and assuring a positive urban legacy for Rio de Janeiro city is yet to be seen.
