Nos bastidores da cidade : a relação entre atores na fabricação do Altiplano "nobre", em João Pessoa-PB

Abstract

The Altiplano Cabo Branco Neighborhood has been subject to a series of restrictions on its densification since its inception until the approval of Municipal Decree No. 5.844 of 2007, in which a Priority Susceptible Zone (ZAP) was established in part of its territory, due to the strong pressure of property promoters and civil construction over public agencies. The delimitation of this ZAP has changed the characteristics of its territory, once predominantly single-family residential territory, since property promoters have established a more affluent part of society as a target audience, making this sector of the neighborhood known as the "Noble" Altiplano - a term widely explored by marketing of sales. This process culminated in a strong real estate speculation and changes in the architectural types built, generating social and economic impacts. However, such repercussions do not result without contradictions since the responsible authorities, while at the same time significantly altering the landscape of the Neighborhood, are omitted in relation to the fate of public spaces in this sector. This research has as its spatial area the "Noble" Altiplano and its main objective is to identify the stake of actors involved in this fabrication. What paremeters the spaces fabricated respond to? Who and how the actors act in the neighborhood? How the actors involved in this process of radical change articulated? Methods are used that approximate the spatial, manufacturing and use dimensions of these spaces.
