This paper will analyze the Brazilian government’s campaign for urban renewal at the turn of the twentieth century in Rio de Janeiro, with a focus on the opposition it inspired and the support it garnered. I will seek to illuminate how this period of urban development was defined by different elite groups, each expressing rival notions of change and modernity. The case studies of the revolta da vacina of 1904, and the Exposição Nacional of 1908, offer examples which illuminate both opposition to and support for the government’s reforms in Rio, with a focus on public health and urban change. I will especially seek to highlight the motivations behind the competing perspectives of development that emerge from these debates. In doing so, I hope to build on the still limited historiography of the period, adding insight and context to turn-of-the- century urban renewal in Rio through sparsely explored cases studies.
