| dc.description.abstract | The Major Projects created by the federal government in the second half of the twentieth century significantly affected the structuring of numerous Amazonian cities. In declaring the occupation and the integration of the Amazon with the rest of the country, it was led to the creation of new urban centers and the transformation of the existing ones. The great demand of required workforce has generated various population bumps, because the urban area grew at a much faster pace than the supply infrastructure in these cities. The implementation of new mining projects and power supply still provoke high rates of growth in the municipalities of Pará’s southeastern. From 2000 to 2010, the region had municipalities with population growth higher than 100%. Among them, we highlight here the city of Cannã dos Carajás, which grew almost 150% (with its urban population increased 1065.57% between 2000 and 2014) and is expected to continue growing over the next decade. However, the population grew, but the income remains concentrated: in urban areas, only 6.4% of the population receives more than three minimum wages. This is worse when verified in the rural population of the municipality where only 1.7% of the population are in this three minimum wages income range (IBGE, 2010; URBISAMAZONIA, 2014). Faced with this expectation, new housing developments have been deployed in the city indiscriminately, without the evaluation of planners and environmental technicians, these factors generate a context that gives rise to structural damage in terms of deployment, security, displacement and accessibility and whose consequences are already notable demographically and environmentally. | |
