Projeto de regularização fundiária no bairro da Terra Firme: reflexões sobre os limites da intervenção para a efetivação do direito à cidade

Abstract

The process of unequal occupation of the city of Bethlehem has a direct relation with the increase in informal employment in the county. The elitist nature of urban interventions resulted in fewer state interventions to ensure the right to decent housing for working class fractions, so the areas of occupation have become between the 1980s and 1990s virtually the only form of provision of housing for the poor. The state, not to present alternatives to the problem of housing, grants to popular pressure on a limited basis with specific actions to mitigate the possible conflicts. The urban land regularization, despite the official discourse, which presents the policy to guarantee the right to the city, is no exception to the rule of other formal state policies, ad hoc, fragmented and discontinuous. That unlike represent legitimate forms of equity urban ultimately exacerbate the expressions of the social product of social inequality in Brazil is showing increasing harmful in the field or in the city.
