Minha casa, nosso muro, cidade deles: uma análise a partir do loteamento alphaville e do condomínio serraville residence privê em Campina Grande

Abstract

Since the 1970s, the production of privatized residential spaces in brazilian cities has created a new scenario of urban segregation and fragmentation. With a focus on Allontment Closed and Horizontal Closed Condominiums, this study proposes to analyze how the production of these spaces reverberate socially and territorially in the urban development of Campina Grande (PB), starting from the following issues: i) how capitalist urban / regional development is intertwined with the production of segregated spaces; ii) how social relations are curtailed as there is the option of privatizing public spaces; and iii) to what extent the real estate market has contributed to the fragmentation of the urban network of the municipality. Through a quantitative and a qualitative approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with residents and employees of the Loteamento Alphaville and the Condomínio Serraville Residence Privê, which allowed the development of a comparison between these two spaces and contexts. Based on the theoretical perspective proposed by Lefebvre (1974), Bauman (2009), Caldeira (2011), Santos (2013), Maricato (2014) and others, the research concludes that the implantation of these new residential developments contributes to homogenize intramural social relations, social ties and creates fragmented growth of the city and society
