Abstract

The present work aims to contribute to the discussions about the developmentalist and neoliveral projects lined on the creation of an aerotropolis at the North Vector of the Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizontein Minas Gerais -the Project Aerotropole Mineira -and the maintenance of minerary activities in its surroundings. Distinct logics of capital accumulation expressed at the same territory protected by federal law: the Environmental Protection Area (APA, in portuguese) Karst Lagoa Santa. We seek to track controversies between the mining and aeroportuary projects and the environment conservation legislation for the region, pointing fissures and possibilities of research
