This article analyzes the complex interactions between major civil engineering works and the preservation of sensitive ecosystems, taking the implementation of the Rio-Santos Highway (BR-101) in the 1970s as a case study. Based on a theoretical foundation consolidated in French academia and Brazilian urban practice, it investigates how the longitudinal cut in the escarpment areas of Serra do Mar alters not only the local geomorphology but triggers irreversible processes of real estate speculation and environmental mischaracterization. The study uses the environmental impact analysis methodology developed at Université Paris VIII to evaluate the consequences of habitat fragmentation and the suppression of native vegetation. It is concluded that road planning dissociated from a master plan for land use and occupation results in negative externalities that outweigh immediate logistical benefits, requiring a review of state intervention paradigms in coastal zones.
