Os vazios urbanos na cidade de João Pessoa: transformações e permanências

Abstract

The urban voids emerged in the city of João Pessoa mainly after the decades of 1970- 1980 associated with the dispersed urbanization model implemented by the Brazilian National Housing Bank (BNH), and they areas are left unused waiting for real estate valorization. After the 2000s is perceived that the new wave of housing programs reproduces the same social phenomena. This is a descriptive and exploratory research, aiming to understand how the process of production of urban voids in the city and its current distribution took place. The research was done initially from bibliographical and documentary reading, followed by obtaining data from government agencies. The cartographic representations and analyzes of the database are based on data from the Department of Urban Planning of João Pessoa, regarding land use and occupation. The survey identified the use of these areas at the beginning and end of the cut (2006-2017), and analyzed these transformations in the land use based on the legislative changes, and with that found that more than 52% of the vacant properties remained idle for more than a decade. In addition, there was a brutal land concentration in them.
