Transformações e contradições da urbanização em João Pessoa: o loteamento Parque do Sol (Gramame)

Abstract

The urban space passes every day by vigorous transformations. The starting point of the work is to understand the production of space and the contradictions in the process of reproduction of urban space through daily practices. With the process of evolution and consolidation of cities in the capitalist system of production, the contradictions present in the place intensified. The constitutive process on the Parque do Sol - João Pessoa subdivision made us re flect the lived space and the process of production / reproduction in the Sun Park that is based on the articulations of capital and the State, which shape the urban space through particular interests. It was realized in the study that any transformation o f space brings with it specific characteristics without being detached from the political and economic model that governs the city. The construction of the subdivision follows the same logic of most of the peripheral cities of the Northeast of Brazil, where the State acts contradictory to the public interests. In addition, the work sought to bring a critical reflection on the space constituted as Parque do Sol allotment and the role of its producing agents, bringing the historical process constituent of the place and how the changes occurred from the beginning. The evolution of urbanization in the Parque do Sol will show how this process has characteristics similar to those of most of the peripheral cities of Brazil, thus confirming that the role of the Stat e is preponderant for the production of space. It was noticed in the course of the present study that despite the problems presented in the place, this is the result of the realization of life of many people and the socio spatial relations are of extreme importance for the understanding of the formation of the place and the daily practices.
