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.

interaction and participation in the city has to be done by respect but is a basic right to the city. we should consider that nature is an active partner in creating a city. we should respect this partner / activist.

Heavy rains are making obvious urban planning mistakes in Rio de Janeiro. Decades of mis-planning are to be paid by the poor. Landslides and flooding are in the news since ever, but recently the number of deaths is increasing too much. Ignorance will not help it anymore. 180 landslides are reported since Monday (reuter).
When will we start to design sustainable infrastructure and help urbanization grow in a healthy way. I believe that people are able to built their homes by themselves; we can see the results. The problem is the missing infrastructure which is a basic need to be served by the city.
I feel extremely sad after having participated at the world urban forum just 2 weeks ago where nothing of that was discussed at all.
this is a call for entriesJoin the anti-rain-dance and send one foto/comic with one sentence to ar2com with a criticism / solution / suggestions / comment about the urban situation in rio de janeiro or elsewhere.

The use of all that is too remember the missing basic needs for all inhabitants which is their basic right to the city in a FUNNY, IRONIC way – just a jeitinho brasileiro!
