Again we are going to talk about that topic MONEY and all these capitalist philosophies.

This video here is a mixture of
01
a performance/protest of gringo que fala during the WUF5 in Rio de Janeiro who took place at the storehouses in the harbour zone.
02
a video by the city hall of Rio de Janeiro with their proposition of the harbour zone based on PRIVATE money input into highrise buildings and use the outcome of this PRIVATE money into PUBLIC investments. I recorded it during the exhibition of the world urban forum in Rio de Janeiro.

on the My proposition dating from July 2005 is just offering an open re-use of the storehouses, since the urban pattern is actually quite nice in that area:

OF COURSE money for infrastructure is always a good idea and needed in that area, too. there are three main favelas in that area who would appreciate such an action.

Atrás da Porta (=behind the door) is a film by Vladimir Seixas about squatting of abandoned houses in the city of Rio de Janeiro. The act of re-using space and giving it a new purpose is one of the most sustainable acts in cities – mostly illegal.

Vladimir Seixas is offering some other films on the topic of urbanism and people fighting for the RIGHT TO THE CITY. He keeps an eye on his city and shares it with us.
