Urbanizar ou remover? Avaliação da inserção urbana em conjuntos habitacionais de Maceió-AL

Abstract

Due to the growing and disorderly growth of the Brazilian urban environment, the informal housing market has expanded. With no housing solution, peripheral areas began to be occupied by the poorest, potentially affecting the quality of life and equity in cities. In the Brazilian history, the State's relationship with precarious human settlements is marked by struggle and repression, not integrating them into urban life. From this scenario, this Final Graduation Work sought to understand quantitatively and qualitatively the housing production in Maceió/AL, having as object of study the urbanization and removal of settlements, from the analysis of the housing complexes Residencial Vila São Pedro I and Conjunto Vila dos Pescadores, in Maceió, capital of Alagoas, valuing the contributions and setbacks of urbanizing or removing, through the urban insertion assessment tool, focusing on the analysis of offers of equipment, trade and services. The research pointed to the appropriation of residents in the two housing developments studied, in addition to bringing considerations about the dynamics of the residents' routine in the post-occupation of housing developments.
