Sumario:The port of Rio de Janeiro faced two major urban transformations – the Passos Reform (early 20th century) and the Porto Maravilha project (21st century), the latter as part of the legacy of Rio 2016 Olympic Games. Port regions around the world have undergone conversion processes to tourism and leisure places. In Porto Maravilha, cultural spaces have been built, such as Museu do Rio and Museu do Amanhã, besides an Aquarium (AquaRio) and a huge ferris wheel. But and the environment, more specifically Guanabara Bay – how has it been impacted by this project? How does the port region ‘dialogue’ with Guanabara Bay? Through a brief historical research, we aim to understand how the waterfront has been incorporated into the urban renewal project.
