Abstract

Large urban projects are presented as a strategy for economic and social development. e aim of this paper is to study the experiences of Sí£o Paulo and Rio de Janeiro to understand the limits, costs and potential of large urban projects. The results showed that the goals proposed by defenders of large urban projects were not met. Large projects failed to beneÍt populations concerned by them. These experiences served to point out crucial elements about the implications of large urban projects. This is very important to Brazil because large projects have been prepared facing the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games.
