OUR WORK IN 2020
I NEW MACRO-ZONING
FOR RIO DE JANEIRO
We supported the city of Rio de Janeiro
in reviewing its master plan, including
the new macro-zoning proposal,
which defines urban development and
environmental protection guidelines
for different regions of the city. We
also prepared a detailed study for the
implementation of the STOD strategy
along a BRT corridor. If approved, the
territorial planning proposals could
promote a more efficient and inclusive
development for Rio de Janeiro.
I A NATIONAL VISION
FOR SMART CITIES
Cities have much to gain from
incorporating technology into urban
infrastructure and services. But
in a continent-sized country like
Brazil, regional inequalities must be
recognized to ensure that the digital
transformation does not exclude
or harm parts of the population.
The Brazilian Letter for Smart
Cities sought to make a pact
on a national vision for smart
cities and support sustainable
urban development.
The letter is part of the building process
of the National Urban Development
Policy, led by the Brazilian Ministry
of Regional Development with
support from the German Agency
for International Cooperation (GIZ).
As a partner in the process, WRI Brasil
led the Territorial Diversity working
group, ensuring social equity and the
diversity of urban challenges related to
technology were taken into account.
