The book about the Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas, located in Rio de Janeiro, traces its urban development and environmental history. The goal is to tell the story of one of the reference points of the city’s landscape, full of historical facts, looking at the growth of the neighborhoods around the Lagoon, in addition to addressing the theme of environmental recovery.

Seeking to resolve the constant problem of the polluting of the Lagoon’s waters, we conceived the idea of the Clean Lagoon project, in partnership with the Governments of the State and the City. The book Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas discusses the realization of the project, citing it as one of the most relevant environmental revitalization initiatives concerning this lagoon, a scenic icon of Rio de Janeiro. Find out more about the Clean Lagoon project on the site: www.lagoalimpa.com.br

The project also envisages educational lectures on the content of the book for those areas of the public directly impacted by the Lagoon and its revitalization.
