Panorama urbano ambiental das metrópoles brasileiras pela plataforma Datapedia

Abstract

This work had as objective to analyze the urban environment panorama of the Brazilian metropolis by the Datapedia data platform. For the accomplishment of this research we used statistical, bibliographical data of diverse authors of the social sciences as geography, sociology and urbanism in books, scientific journals and scientific articles published in scientific events, periodicals and database. We also used data from the IBGE available on the Datapedia site, a site with official data from Brazilian municipalities. According to the data presented, all the national metropolis present the majority of the indices above the national average, reinforcing the idea that the metropolises are privileged spaces in relation to the other urban spaces and the rural space. It can be concluded that metropolitan areas are privileged spaces in Brazil and that, despite this, these areas are not exempt from urban and environmental problems, such as pollution, bottling, slums, urban violence, unemployment and heat islands. It was possible to see the social and environmental differences of these spaces. Given the above, it is possible to affirm that the cities of the North and Northeast continue to go through environmental problems and require greater intervention of the public power for sócio-spatial development.
