TERRITORIALIZATION OF CULTURAL POLICIES: AN ANALYSIS OF THE STRATEGIC PLANNING OF RIO DE JANEIRO FOR THE PERIOD 2021 - 2024

Abstract

The 2021-2024 Strategic Plan of the city of Rio de Janeiro can be defined as a set of concrete actions, demarcated by goals, to think about the city within the term of the current mandate. Regarding cultural policies, the plan aimed to territorialize promotion to the north and west zones, peripheral areas of the city. The article aims to discuss how the concept of territory influenced the implementation of cultural policies in the capital of the state of Rio de Janeiro within its strategic plan. As a methodology, a theoretical discussion was held about the relationship between Geography and public policies, followed by an analysis of the territorial division of Rio de Janeiro within the strategic planning for cultural policies and, finally, a critical reading of the first edition of the program promotion of Rio culture (FOCA). As a result, it was found that the program focuses on peripheral areas. Still, the internal differences in the western zone and the low value of the program's territorial line urge the need for a more attentive geographic look at the planning territories of the city.
