Abstract

This dissertation results from research whose objective was to investigate the evolution process of the urban expansion of the southeastern sector of the city of João Pessoa PB, from a vector of urban expansion, the corridor of Avenida Pedro II and the areas located in its immediate surroundings. The spatial area encompassed from the neighborhood of the Torre until Mangabeira, area located at its end, the period that begins in the late 1930s with the emergence of the Torre, the first district to directly influence the corridor until the year of 2010. The analysis relies on the "model of the evolutionary logic of an urban expansion by Castex, Depaule and Panerai (1980, 2005, 2006), and is complemented by the study of the dynamics of urban segregation, proposed by Corrêa (1989). The results were presented according to the principal methodology adopted, and show that this sector of the city, was structured from investments in federal government, with emphasis on public housing. Currently, this urban space concentrates 20% of the population of the town of middle and low income, reflecting the occupation model adopted, which was imposed by the state.
