Mauricio de Almeida Abreu: escritos sobre espaço e história
| Resumo: | Mauricio de Almeida Abreu (1948e2011), former professor at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) and member of the editorial board of the Journal of Historical Geography, has left a comprehensive and highly original body of geographical work. His first article, published in 1970, had an almost visionary title: ‘A geografia e os problemas urbanos’ (Geography and Urban Problems). His work combines empirical practices with demanding reflections on the methodological options. Above all, Abreu was an urban geographer who from the early 1980s onward specialized in the field of historical geography applied to the territorial formation and urban evolution of Rio de Janeiro. This trajectory took shape in his two main books: A Evolução Urbana do Rio de Janeiro (The Urban Evolution of Rio de Janeiro) (1987) and Geografia Historica |
