Local urban development: the Manaus Free Zone case
Since the late 19th Century, along with the rubber boom, the Amazon has been target of governmental incentives for territory occupation. One of the biggest incentives for migration has its origin in the National Integration Policy over the 1960’s, during the military dictatorship: the Manaus Free Zone. This policy has brought a series of transformations related to the capital’s growth dynamics, mostly concerning the city’s urban tissue. This work’s starting point is that the phenomenon of Manaus fast population growth is mostly due to the great human migration towards the city, once there was an attraction factor, which was the Free Zone incentives policy. Therefore, we sought to analyze the relations between the creation of the Manaus Free Zone and its dynamics, Manaus demographic dynamics and its modifications related to the urban tissue. It can be noticed that there has been great urbanization, industrialization and progress in relation to the service sector, magnifying the demand not only for these services but also for urban infrastructure. This movement, as a consequence, has upgraded the region while generated great social issues.
