A CIDADE E A QUESTÃO DA TERRA E DA MORADIA: o caso de Pelotas-RS

Abstract

The article aims to problematize the theme of the city by presenting the ques- tion of land and housing as financial assets resulting from real estate speculation in Brazil. It analyzes the space relating to the theme of the right to the city as well as discusses the issue of financialization exposing the lack of an urban policy capable of guaranteeing protection in the field of social rights. In order to demonstrate the financial logic, the implementation of the My House My Life Program and the counterpoint of urban occupations in the municipa- lity of Pelotas in the State of Rio Grande do Sul are presented. It carried out bibliographical research, documentary research and field study. It concludes that the processes of socio-environmental inequalities result from the defense of private property and that change will only occur through the struggle for urban and agrarian reform, reaffirming social policies that guarantee housing as a universal right.
