Encounters with Authors: IPP Bookstore promotes debates and encourages knowledge about the city.

Last Tuesday (29), the Instituto Pereira Passos (IPP) Bookstore held another edition of the Encounters with Authors project, an initiative that brings together researchers, specialists and the public to discuss topics related to Rio de Janeiro and encourage the circulation of knowledge about the city.

The meeting focused on Avenida Brasil, one of the main axes of mobility and urban development in the capital of Rio de Janeiro. The conversation was led by architect and researcher Pedro Barreto de Moraes, author of the book Avenida Brasil: Rodovia Metropolitana, published by the Instituto Pereira Passos.

During the debate, the researcher presented an analysis of the formation, evolution, and impacts of Avenida Brasil on the urban configuration of Rio de Janeiro, addressing its influence on the city's expansion, mobility, land use, and the challenges of contemporary urban planning.

This work originates from award-winning academic research conducted by IPP, reinforcing the institution's commitment to the production and dissemination of high-quality knowledge about the municipality.

The event also included the participation of the Project Coordinator from the Municipal Secretariat of Metropolitan Integration, Flávia Gomes, strengthening the dialogue between research, public management, and urban planning.

Held monthly, the Encounters with Authors consolidate the IPP Bookstore as a permanent space for debate, reflection, and rapprochement between scientific production and society. The initiative seeks to encourage reading, value editorial production about Rio de Janeiro, and reaffirm the role of bookstores as environments for education, culture, and the collective construction of knowledge.
