title: Spatial attributes of inequality in large Brazilian cities: a relation between segregation and morphology

description: Abstract Through a comparative analysis of regions concentrating families with very high and very low per capita incomes in five large Brazilian cities (Goiânia, Fortaleza, Brasília, Belo Horizonte and Curitiba) and their respective morphologic features, this article aims to contribute to the understanding of a non-monetary factor connected with socioeconomic inequality in large Brazilian cities. The aim is to analyze the relation between morphology and opposed per capita income clustering formations. In methodological terms, both georeferenced and morphologic analyses are used. Besides indicating spatial patterns of specific regions, the more general conclusions that emerge are the relations of specific morphological regions and the capacity for integration and circulation of the groups that reside in them.

title: Hypersegregation of the Brazilian metropolitan elites in the 2000s: interpretations based on the Belo Horizonte Metropolitan Region

description: Abstract This article presents some results of the comparison of the socio-spatial structure of the 15 main metropolitan regions of Brazil and their evolution between 2000 and 2010. The analysis focuses primarily on the concentration of high status groups in the so-called “upper spaces” of these metropolises, leading to their hypersegregation. Explanatory hypotheses for this process are produced through the specific analysis of the Belo Horizonte Metropolitan Region, whose social composition is very close to the average composition of the 15 studied metropolitan regions and for which there are specific data on real estate dynamics, quality of life index and residential mobility. The historic attractiveness of the central areas was intensified during the 2000s, maintaining them as the preferred location for high-quality real estate investments.

title: Paths and detours of the São Paulo Macrometropolis: economic dynamics, external determinants and perspectives

description: Abstract The present article discusses relevant economic aspects of the urban agglomerate that constitutes the so-called Macrometrópole Paulista - MMP (São Paulo Macrometropolis). First, we identify the main dynamics associated with globalization and its manifestations in São Paulo. Then, we analyze the problematic route of Brazilian growth in the last decades emphasizing pressures on the national industry, which means we characterize the more general context where the MMP is inserted. Subsequently, we situate the MMP in the recent trajectory of the Brazilian economy and analyze its industrial performance and the consequent territorial impacts. Finally, the concluding remarks evaluate São Paulo’s economy in view of contemporary challenges, highlighting the national State’s role of implementing regional policies in order to stimulate a more balanced territorial development in the whole country.

title: Lisbon in deep and unbalanced transition. Housing, real estate and urban policy in the south of Europe and in the digital era

description: Abstract Lisbon is undergoing deep transformations. After an economic crisis accompanied by harsh austerity policies, Lisbon is experiencing a new economic dynamism, but without reverting old and new, social and territorial, inequalities. This article presents recent transformations in the real estate market and housing of the main Portuguese city, and portrays emerging social movements concerned about the right to housing. In addition, it questions the articulations between local development and models of the new global economy. Lisbon’s recent history is shown as a paradigmatic case of clashes among pseudo-liberal models of urban and economic development, and the gradual emergence of forms of contestation, with both social and institutional natures, at the local level but increasingly connected to international networks.

title: Crime and violences in São Paulo: theoretical-methodological retrospective, advances, limits and future perspectives

description: Abstract This article analyzes the relationships between crime, violence and cities, a traditional object of the social sciences and urban studies. With the city of São Paulo as the background and reported murders as the parameter, the article registers the evolution of vital and criminal records and questions the hypothesis that analyzes and explains crime distribution, in urban territories, based on the dualistic and binary logic between non-violent and violent neighborhoods, between center and periphery. Evaluating the stock of knowledge available in this field of study and discussing methodological issues related to the quality of the data that support analyses, the article proposes some methodological approaches that, today, can better explain crime distribution in a diversified and complex metropolitan fabric.

title: Household arrangements and urban structure in the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo (2010)

description: Abstract The 1960s and 1970s brought changes to urban and family spatial structures, especially in developed countries, with transformations in work and residence macrostructures and emergence of new household arrangements. This paper aims to relate families to the (re)structuring of the urban space, considering the material reproduction of its individuals. We analyze the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo, where the urban and household arrangements are more complex and diversified. We constructed a typology that translated the structure of the urban space according to the labor market and residential areas. Then, we superimposed on it the distribution of household arrangements and social vulnerability. Using the 2010 Census, we analyzed the relationships of different variables for the weighting areas.

title: Expansion and deceleration of the formal private housing market from the 2000s onwards in the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo

description: Abstract This study examines the housing market in the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo, which is considered a research laboratory due to its extent, variety of companies and municipal profiles, institutional frameworks, urban and housing policies. The urban real estate dynamics is analyzed in periods of expansion and deceleration of the real estate sector in the 2000s, focusing on specificities of processes involving the built environment in the cities of the region. A multi-scalar analysis was carried out, with macroeconomic and sectorial data, and a periodization was organized to characterize elements of the private housing supply, real estate agents and companies’ strategies by period and in different markets (mature and weak), as well as general trends. Changes in agents’ strategies and product profile were observed according to expansion or deceleration periods and city/market size.

title: There are vacancies! The business of industrial urban voids in Fortaleza, State of Ceará, Brazil

description: Abstract Urban voids stand out in the (re)production of the contemporary city. Formation and transformation processes of these spaces, systematically studied in the last decades, are associated with varied phenomena and agents and with public and private strategies. This article relates recent transformations of industrial urban voids in Fortaleza, State of Ceará, to real estate businesses and urban planning. It highlights the role of the agents involved and implications of developments and new uses to the built environment, as well as consequences of law enforcement. A case study of a set of urban voids located in the city’s old industrial Western periphery is presented. It was found that the transformation process of industrial voids is associated with the real estate market’s actions and the consequent generation of new businesses.

title: Socio-spatial segregation and health services provision in the Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte in 2010

description: Abstract The aim of this article is to analyze the relationship between socio-spatial segregation and provision of health services in the Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte in 2010. Data from the Population Census, the National Register of Health Establishments and the Annual Record of Social Information were used. The data were organized in weighting areas through the extraction of geographic coordinates and analyzed through descriptive statistics and spatial correlation. The results show that the public primary care services were concentrated in areas where lower socio-occupational groups in the social hierarchy predominated, although the availability of doctors did not follow the same logic. Private services, in turn, were located in areas segregated by intermediate and higher groups, mainly in the capital city.

title: Contradictions and paradoxes of the urban management model in the metropolitan area of Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico

description: Abstract In Mexico, the metropolitan phenomenon is identified as a public policy problem, which has led to the design of institutional structures and coordination mechanisms whose objective is to attempt to manage the country’s metropolitan areas and make them governable. We conducted an exploratory analysis of the urban management problems of the Guadalajara metropolitan area, where, despite the existence of new coordination levels, there has been no substantial improvement in the allocation of public resources, nor in inter-municipal cooperation or in the making of urban policies. Our aim is to reveal the contradictions and paradoxes of a model in which a normative framework of urban management and a chaotic reality coexist.

title: Survey and analysis of spatial organizations deriving from the metropolization process of the Region of Maringá

description: Abstract Brazil’s quick urbanization process has generated demand for urban planning, mainly in metropolitan areas strongly characterized by social and spatial differences. In this study, we identify territory organization patterns of the Metropolitan Region of Maringá, related to institutional, political and functional aspects, based on the systematization of current studies developed by institutes and academic entities. We compared the studies, mapped information and organized indicators, aiming to contribute to and subsidize the implementation of the regional and metropolitan integrated planning in the sphere of the Metropolis Statute.

title: The forgotten dimension of the housing policy: reflections on the case of the metropolitan area of Curitiba (State of Paraná)

description: Abstract In Brazil, the housing policy regained importance over the last fifteen years, with the construction of an institutional framework and the massive production of affordable houses. Several studies were developed, mainly related to the housing program Minha Casa Minha Vida. In this scenario, this article is part of a deeper and latent discussion: it aims to investigate the dynamics involved in the overlap between housing issues and metropolitan areas, spaces of special interest, as they concentrate more than half of the housing deficit and about 80% of informal settlements in Brazil. Through a study of the Metropolitan Area of Curitiba, we seek to discuss the “forgotten dimension”, without which the undertaken efforts may not produce the expected effects.

title: Proposal of an economic dependence index for smaller areas and its application to the Metropolitan Region of Buenos Aires, Argentina (2010)

description: Abstract The most used measure of the load of demographic dependence is the relation of demographic dependence. This index lacks theoretical support and is based on a purely biological criterion. The objective is to generate an alternative index to estimate the load of economic dependence from a multidimensional theoretical perspective that adjusts to spatial inequalities and, in the theoretical field, admits the existence of a diffuse link between demography and economy, as well as the lack of a consensus concerning economic growth determinants and the creation of employment. The application of the alternative index is constructed for a disaggregation level corresponding to the census fraction for the Metropolitan Region of Buenos Aires in 2010.
