The greater metropolitan area of ​​Rio de Janeiro , also known as Grande Rio , officially Portuguese Região Metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro (RMRJ), was created by Supplementary Law No. 20 of July 1, 1974 after the merger of the former states of Rio de Janeiro and Guanabara with the then the greater Fluminense and Grande Niterói areas . With 13,005,430 inhabitants in 2018, it is the second largest metropolitan area in Brazil after the metropolitan region of São Paulo , the third largest in South America and, according to the 2010 census, was already the twenty largest in the world.

Changes

The term “Grande Rio” refers to the expansion of the capital Rio de Janeiro into a metropolitan area with its neighboring communities, as a continuous urban area. The borders changed in later years to the exclusion of the municipalities of Petrópolis and São José do Vale do Rio Preto (1993), Itaguaí and Mangaratiba (July 2002) and Maricá (October 2001). Itaguaí and Maricá were re-inducted into Grand Rio in October 2009. In December 2013, the municipalities of Rio Bonito and Cachoeiras de Macacu were added due to their proximity to the Complexo Petroquímico do Rio de Janeiro (COMPERJ) in the north of Itaboraí . Petropolis was re-included in Grande Rio in 2018. With the inclusion, the number of municipalities rose to 22.

Population development

From 2000 to 2019, the population of the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro grew from around 11 to 13.07 million. A further increase in the number of inhabitants to 14.8 million is expected by 2035.

The following table shows the population of the metropolitan region from 2000 to 2019 according to the IBGE, 2018 and 2019 are estimates, the increase between July 1, 2018 and July 1, 2019 was 64,220 people.

According to the IBGE, the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro (including the municipalities of Itaguaí, Mangaratiba and Maricá) is the second largest national economic and prosperity center with a gross domestic product (GDP) of R $ 413.93 billion . It concentrates 70% of the state's economic strength and a large part of all goods and services produced in the country. As the second largest industrial center in Brazil, it includes oil refineries, shipbuilding, metallurgy, petrochemical, gas chemistry, steel, textile, printing, publishing, pharmaceutical, beverage, cement and furniture industries. However, in the last few decades the economic profile has changed significantly, and it has increasingly assumed the character of a large national service and business center in general.

It brings together the main national and international groups in maritime transport and the largest shipyards in the country and state, which hold around 90% of the production of ships and offshore equipment in Brazil.

In the oil sector there are uniform agreements of more than 700 companies, including the largest in Brazil ( Petrobras , YPF , Royal Dutch Shell , Esso , Ipiranga , ChevronTexaco , El Paso ). Most have research centers scattered across the state and collectively produce more than 4/5 of the oil and fuel distributed at national gas stations.
