A (re)produção do espaço urbano na porção sul de Paraíso do Tocantins - TO

Abstract

In the last ten years, several socio-spatial transformations have been reproduced in the city of Paraíso do Tocantins, intensified, mainly, by the production of new land subdivisions, which appear increasingly distant from the central core of the city. In addition to the large supply, a well-located accumulation of land and an infrastructure resource associated with the segregation of lower classes, creating similar expulsion effects in large cities. Based on this understanding, this work aims to analyze the process of (re) production of urban space in the southern portion of the city of Paraíso do Tocantins as a way of understanding the socio-spatial logic resulting from the emergence of urban subdivisions in the last ten years, identifying its main agents of production and resulting socio-spatial contradictions. In order to do so, it establishes a broad specialized bibliographical revision, dialoguing, fundamentally, with theories of the social production of space and the reproduction of urban space, analysis of the historical conjuncture that underlies the production processes in the city besides the documentary investigation of the legislations that affect urban planning It is understood that the speculative and segregating urban expansion currently occurring in the municipality of Paraíso do Tocantins is explained by a set of interconnected factors, of which the fact that it is the municipality located in the BR-153 axis closest to the capital Palmas, as well as the conditions created by the State through legislative frameworks for urban planning. It is concluded from this interpretative exercise that the reproduction of urban space in a small city obeys the same determinants of capitalist accumulation based on the income of the land of medium and large cities
