In Rio de Janeiro, Brazil's second-largest metropolis, an important new form of early-twenty-first-century peripheral development that deserves critical inquiry has emerged-the "global suburb." In Brazil, these suburbs take the form of gated high-rise compounds providing upper- and middle- upper-income residents enclaves of security amidst what they perceive as the chaos and uncertainty of cities overrun by favelas, crime, and gang-related conflict. The Barra da Tijuca suburban enclave in Rio de Janeiro offers a poignant case study of a development project that was initially conceived as an innovative urban design plan for a modernist "new town" but, with little opposition from government officials and planners, was subsequently absorbed by private developers and turned into an elite, U.S.-style suburb. En Rio de Janeiro, metrópolis segunda mas grande de Brasil, emerge al comienzo del siglo veintiuno una forma de desarrollo periférico importante y nueva que se merece una pregunta critica-el "suburbio global." En Brasil estos suburbios toman la forma de recitos amurallados de edificios de gran altura los cuales proveen a las clases de gran y alto-medio ingreso enclavas de seguridad en medio de lo que perciben es el caos y incertidumbre de ciudades sobrantes de favelas, el crimen, y el conflicto relacionado con el pandillismo. La enclava suburbana de la Barra de Tijuca en Rio de Janeiro ofrece un caso conmovedor de un proyecto urbano originalmente concebido como un diseño urbano innovador para un "pueblo nuevo" modernizado pero, con poca oposición de parte de los oficiales gubernamentales y planificadores, fue absorbido por el fomento privado y convertido en un suburbio tipo Estados Unidos para una elite
