Ambiwalentny obraz faweli Santa Marta na tle przemian pacyfikacyjnych
Ambivalent image of the Santa Marta favela view against the back-drop of changes related to pacification

Summary/Abstract: The article seeks to create an approach that would challenge the descrip-tion of transformations of Santa Marta favela in Rio de Janeiro, which presents the ambivalent image of this space born after its pacification and seen in the prism of Edward Soja’s post-industrial analysis. In pursuing this, the author discusses the po-tential threats triggered by separation from the other parts of the city, gatekeeping, incrimination. Finally, the text shows how urban restructuration Santa Marta favela articulates new solutions, despite its criminal history, through raising the interest of visitors by colouring the facades of residential houses at the foot of the hill in the framework of the project Oh Morro by Jeroen Koolhaas and Dre Urhahn.
