Taking a critical preservationist stance, Brian Godfrey explores how historic designation and urban rebranding have shaped Rios distinctive sense of place.Official heritage programs date from the 1930s, when federal authorities centralized power and promoted nationalism. The city began a heritage-based strategy of urban revitalization and rebranding in the 1980sthe Cultural Corridor of historic places downtown. Subsequent rediscovery of the old Little Africa district and continuing struggles of favela communities have emphasized narratives of counter-memory against racism, social injustice, and governmental neglect. Meanwhile environmental activism has encouraged programs to conserve the historic landscapes of Rios famous mountains, forests, beaches, and bays.
