A imagem da cidade: o centro comercial de Campo Grande, Rio de Janeiro, no século XXI

Abstract

The article aims to describe the current organization of the commercial space in the center of Campo Grande, and adjacent streets, and to identify the evidence of accumulation of unequal times that form the landscape and the horde of the neighborhood. From the spatial elements materialized as objects, we seek to understand the actions carried out in this spatial framework over time. To achieve this, we use the description and, therefore, we use the Kevin Lynch city image reading methodology to acquire and interpret the current image of the typically urban shopping center in a once rural neighborhood. We identified the consolidation of typically urban objects over rural ones, and the refunctionalization of rural objects for urban activities.
