Abstract
This chapter discusses the spatial impacts of the 2014 FIFA World Cup on Fortaleza, Ceará as a host city. In the capital of a metropolitan area containing more than 3.6 million inhabitants, the urban interventions caused considerable territorial impacts, especially in terms of social disparities, which have increased in recent years. In the Section 3.2, we study the economic activities that shaped Fortaleza’s urban growth by focusing on housing construction. In the Section 3.3, we analyse the elements that are part of the so-called ‘Responsibility Matrix’. Section 3.4 assesses the impacts caused not only by the projects, but also by the way in which the decision-making process took place. The next section discusses the problem of the people affected by the 2014 FIFA World Cup projects.
