The present study aims to analyze the urban impacts caused in Rio de Janeiro, in the cut of the government of the mayor Pereira Passos (1902-1906), in which it will be understood that the demographic swelling in the Federal District, triggered a series of unhealthy processes. Thus, we will see that the famous "boot down" led to a process of social segregation of the black population, mainly, in Rio, causing the migration of the former slaves to the peripheries and the rise of the hills, causing the “favelização”. Thus, we can identify that the reform undertaken by the municipal government brought to the city of Rio de Janeiro an acceptable and necessary health standards, but at an unfair price: the socio-spatial segregation. In this way, the dynamics of favelas comes from this reform whose core was a proposal of pseudo "civilizing" process bringing impacts perceptible until the present day. Thus, we can analyze that the price paid by the urban plan designed by the "tropical Haussmann" - the mayor Pereira Passos, in order to recreate a Paris, in the heart of the newly capital of the 1st Republic of Brazil, was done only by the poorest and black population, in which there was no care to reintegrate them into society and / or guarantee them rights.
