A produção do espaço urbano na cidade de Campos dos Goytacazes

uma análise dos principais eixos de expansão urbana

Abstract

The city of Campos dos Goytacazes has undergone, over the last few years, an intense process of reconfiguration of its spatial and social morphology. The plain is the target of attacks by the real estate market, which has been promoting dispersed urbanization through the creation of closed horizontal condominiums and planned neighborhoods, in areas previously used for agricultural purposes by the sugar and alcohol industry. During the development of the process, rural lands, previously used for planting sugar cane, are converted into urban lands; Private real estate developments are installed at the location and public investments were made in circulation roads so that the developments were connected to other areas of the city. Such dynamics of spatial production encourage fragmentation, dispersion and segregation in the city.
