Uma Situação Alimentar Urbana: o comércio popular de alimentação no centro de Campinas

Abstract

The article approaches the study of the Urban Food Situation as an analytical way to understand contemporary cities; The center of Campinas has a diverse economic circuit, dynamized by the flow of workers that pervades the region daily. Resulting from an unequal city, a popular food trade stands out from this economic circuit. For this analysis, one makes use of the theory of the two circuits of the urban economy and of the socially necessary market. Thus, the center of the city of Campinas is discussed as the shelter of the poor urban food practices.
