In the late seventies, Brazil has gone through profound political changes due to the opening process carried out by the Brazilian government at that time. From then on, the Institutional Acts, such as AI-2 and AI-5, came to an end, which allowed the end of bipartisanship, the redemocratization and the return of exiles, among them Leonel de Moura Brizola. Brizola settled his political domicile in Rio de Janeiro, for observing in the metropolis the importance of its capitality and the possibility of creating visibility in the national politics. He was elected the governor of the state of Rio de Janeiro in 1982, and either the space of the city or of the state of Rio de Janeiro turned into the laboratory of the New Labourism brought by Brizola from the Lisbon Charter, the founding document of the Democratic Labor Party (PDT). His administration at the head of the state will be distinguished by segmented public policies for the most vulnerable communities, which have left spatial marks such as the Integrated Public Education Centers (Centros Integrados de Educação Pública -CIEPs), besides a radical change in policies regarding housing development, such as the program Pra cada família um lote, which aimed to regularize the agrarian situation and urbanize slums and other poor areas in both city and in state of Rio de Janeiro. I also highlight as an important spatial mark in Brizola s period in the politics of the city and state of Rio de Janeiro, one of the most centralized public spaces in the metropolis of Rio de Janeiro - Praça Marechal Floriano - also known as Cinelândia, which has been appropriated for the creation of a spontaneous movement.
