Quando a terra urbana avança como mercadoria, aprofunda-se a segregação socioespacial

Abstract

The text problematizes, based on the Marxian theory of land rent, the strategic partnerships carried out by landowners and market sectors in Macapá-Amapá, whose objective is to enable the former to obtain higher income through the land monopoly, and the latter maximum profits from the sale of real estate or urban lots in condominiums and walled subdivisions on the outskirts of the city. This process impacts the current dynamics of urbanization in Macapá as it contributes to raising the price of urban land, strengthening the real estate market as the defining agent of new areas of urban expansion, and, from the point of view of the production of urban space, it has expanded socio-spatial segregation.
