Rio’s Jardim Botânico and Horto Community Seal Pact to End Decades-Long Land Dispute

Implementation now proceeds under a federal-led plan with a 30-day schedule for individual accords, facing a one-year deadline.

Overview

  • The signed collective agreement guarantees the continued presence of 621 families while confirming the park’s ownership of the land.
  • All repossession actions against residents are suspended during implementation, with the Jardim Botânico required to submit a work plan within 30 days.
  • The pact forbids territorial expansion or vertical enlargement of homes and bars commercial use of the properties, allowing only family-serving renovations.
  • Eligibility hinges on the 2012 resident registry and compliance with Portaria nº111 of 2018, which blocks recognition of later expansions.
  • Exclusions and safeguards include the noninclusion of Condomínio Canto e Melo and a municipal risk assessment for 54 units, with the accord crafted and signed by the Jardim Botânico, Amahor, the federal government, IPHAN, MPF, the Defensoria, and local authorities.
