Os impactos urbanos gerados pela Fórmula 1 às suas cidades-sede

Abstract

This research endeavors to identify the urban impacts that Formula 1 Grand Prix inflict upon their respective host cities. Through a comprehensive bibliographic analysis, the study seeks to evaluate how Formula 1 events influence the urban environment, including a wide range of factors such as economic development, infrastructure, mobility, and social and cultural impacts. The analysis is primarily grounded in the extensive research of David Harvey on urbanization and governance, supplemented by the insights of other prominent scholars in the field. The study delves into the multifaceted consequences of hosting Formula 1 races, examining both the positive and negative implications. On the positive side, the analysis explores the potential for enhanced economic development, increased tourism, heightened international visibility, and substantial investments in infrastructure. These benefits can contribute to the overall growth and prosperity of host cities. However, the study also acknowledges the challenges associated with hosting Formula 1 events. These challenges include traffic congestion, real estate speculation, environmental impacts, and the exacerbation of socioeconomic inequalities. It is crucial for cities to carefully consider and address these challenges to ensure that the overall impact of Formula 1 is positive and sustainable. Ultimately, this research aims to contribute to a broader understanding of the effects of hosting mega sporting events, particularly Formula 1 Grand Prix. By providing valuable insights into the diverse impacts of these events, the study seeks to inform urban planning strategies and contribute to the field of International Relations
