Questão de moradia: áreas de riscos naturais no Recreio São Jorge e Novo Recreio Guarulhos-SP

Abstract

This dissertation analysed the specific forms of expansion in the urban-residential area of Guarulhos, especially the low income groups, living in areas of natural hazards in blends of Recreio São Jorge and Novo Recreio São Jorge. The new territories created, the determinant factors, the main structural agents these modifications and, especially, making a link with these dynamics in a general process of reproduction of capitalism and the society. In this perspective, the social inequalities are resulting of the materialization spatial of the city, so we can affirm that the urban space it does not reproduce without conflicts and contradictions, structurally linked to the capitalist logic and reproduction of a society divided in different classes, where increasingly, the land valorization in some areas, combined with the real estate strategies, limits the possibilities for use of space for social segments of low income. In this way, the changes in current patterns of residential groups with low purchasing power, involve changes in the intra-urban spatial organization of Guarulhos, creating new needs and new spatial arrangements, related with the process of building the current socioeconomic dynamics of the county and the adoption of political public that interfere directly in the different forms of occupation of the space and permeate it
