Análise da segregação socioespacial em Uberlândia-MG a partir de conjuntos habitacionais (2009-2016)

Abstract

This article analysed the process of socio-spatial segregation from the social housing estates in Uberlândia-MG from 2009 to 2016. As methodological procedures, bibliographic, documentary, and cartographic surveys were used, making it possible, therefore, to evidence the peripheral location of such social housing estates in contrast to large urban voids. In addition, it studied the regulation and application of law of subdivision, building or use compulsory and of time-progressive urban land tax, which occurred slowly and controversially in the municipality of Uberlândia-MG, resulting in the maintenance of real estate speculation. Moreover, it was possible to understand how the real estate market and construction companies participate and appropriate the social housing programs, as well as how they act together with the local government regarding the location of such housing developments, evidencing the prevalence of market interests over the social function of urban property.
