A precarização do espaço urbano no Brasil no contexto da cidade capitalista

Abstract

This study presents the process of precariousness in Brazilian cities, organized in favor of the reproduction of the capitalist system, identifying the conditions of the urban environment expressed in public policy indexes such as health, basic sanitation and urban mobility / accessibility. Initially, it addresses what is identified as the development of the capitalist mode of production through its different phases, from feudal post-dissolution to financial capital. Subsequently, it analyzes land occupation in Brazil and discusses the country's mode of industrialization and urbanization. It also presents the way the city was built in contemporary Brazil. Finally, it exposes the origin of urban policy in the country, as well as the current urban policy indexes (health, basic sanitation and mobility / accessibility), in an attempt to demonstrate how city populations, especially marginalized ones, have minimum access to such rights. For this, the study resorted to bibliographic and documentary research, necessary for both the theoretical foundation of the study and the understanding of current data related to urban space. Thus, the research demonstrated that, in the context of the capitalist city, there is an on-going process of precariousness of the urban space in Brazil; The data presented in this study indicate that, due to the neoliberal conjuncture, this precariousness of urban space tends to be greater and deeper.
