Sumario:This text addresses the rivers of Duque de Caxias -RJ. It brings a history of interventions carried out in the city’s rivers, linked to the history of occupation of the territory, revealing the visions and concepts on which they were based. For a long time, rivers have threatened urban life, being natural elements to be controlled and modified. New visions have recently emerged that incorporate, along with flood prevention, the need for environmental recovery of these rivers. Moving forward in this perspective, the paper proposes to recover one of the city’s rivers, the Roncador, and the impasses in developing this type of project, which incorporates landscape values and ecological potential of this river.
