ABSTRACT:
The integral and sustainable development of a nation is closely linked to its transportation
infrastructure. The purpose of the road network is to integrate regions, cultures, and people,
moving products and goods, boosting the economy and reducing inequalities. History shows that
Brazil elected the road modal as its main means of transportation, mitigating the developmentalist
plan. The objective of this work is to demonstrate that, in the course of history, this choice has
presented weaknesses, compromising the achievement of robust and sustainable development.
In order to correct such aws, it is fundamental that the governors prioritize the elaboration of
budgets that are adequate to the organization of the territory, as well as the equitable distribution
of opportunities and wealth. With these measures, it is possible to foster economic development,
in addition to promoting social and environmental sustainability
Keywords: Sustainable development. Highway transportation. Economics. Road networks.
INTRODUCTION
The extension of the Brazilian territory is 8,511,000 km². Ever since the early colonization
of the country, access to the most distant regions has been an obstacle to trade and national
integration. From the middle of the 20th century on, railway transportation began to wane
due to the industrialization process and the promotion of the automobile industry in the
cou ntry. In this new context, the roa d modal was gai ning str engt h, andc reati ng road s beca me
a governmentpractice to foster economic development.
However, it is necessar y to observe the course of the country’s socio-political and
economic history, corroborated by statistical data that measure the development indexes.
From the data, the option for the road modalmay be questioned, and thus this essay aims to
unders tand th e rela tion s between the nat iona l econ omic process and the rea sons th at led to the
choice for the road systems in Brazil. Throughout the approach, an attempt is made to identify
the benets and losses arising from this option, discerning whether the model contributed to
comprehensive and sustainable economic development.
