The Rio de Janeiro was heavily involved in the international circuits of economic and political interests through the possibility of hosting mega-sport events of global dimensions. In this way, the “cidade maravilhosa dos encantos mil” needed to be modified, to conform to interna-tional models and standards that would allow this insertion. Two major projects were estab-lished in the urban dynamics of Rio de Janeiro. The first concerns the execution of large urban interventions of unprecedented transformations and violent removals, as in Porto Maravilha, dictated by a model of neoliberal city open to international financial initiative. The second is perhaps the most cruel and persistent, the militarization of the peripheral daily life carried out by the military occupations and, mainly, by the implementation of the Unidades de Polícia Pacificadoras, which were guided by coercive and violent technicities of control and monitor-ing. These two projects instructed the image of a city that, beyond being only attractive for investment, would become, first and foremost, safe and orderly. In this sense, the objective of this work is to analyze in parallel the convergence of these two phenomena and their implica-tions for the urban dynamics in Rio de Janeiro, which tried to project internationally an image of a global showcase city, militarized, modified, neoliberal and pacified, perfect to be sold out as synonymous with development. At first, the consensus that was created in Rio in 2009 pro-jected a very specific idealized urban future to accommodate the Games, and the process of urban militarization of the periphery was part of that future, or rather, it was fundamental to the mega-event of 2016. New perceptions of “(in)security” were created from these two movements, and thus, a space pacification project joins a project of redevelopment through expulsions and urban gentrification. The urban interventions in Rio 2016 were mostly concen-trated in strategic locations for the event in Olympic clusters surrounded by security belts ob-tained through militarization and pacification of the periphery. In this sense, urban militariza-tion has become the best alternative to combat urban disorder and pacify favelas, aiming at a project to transform the city into an international reference
