Abstract

The emptying of central areas in Brazilian cities is part of an urban growth process that pushed the most vulnerable population towards the peripheries, while the middle and upper-class population began to occupy new areas of real estate expansion. As a result, there was a decrease in the number of residents in the central areas, the emptying of buildings and the degradation of historical heritage. Since the 1940s, Recife, the territory of study, has faced the emptying of its historic center. The study entitled Moradia no Centro (Habitat Brazil, 2018) demonstrates, for example, the existence of 112 buildings with more than five floors in some state of abandonment in just one of the historical neighborhoods of Recife. Based on this data, since 2019 the authors of this research have focused on the theme, seeking to understand how the situation is advancing and what are the possible alternatives to the issue.
