This expansion was influenced by the promoters of urban space that boosted the growth of the south zone. With the research it was possible to perceive that the growth of the south zone of the city had its apex from investments promoted by the following agents; real estate agents, State agents and excluded social groups. The real estate agents acted in the direct transformation of the subdivisions, investing resources as well as taking advantage of investments in infrastructure promoted by the public power. The State, represented by the municipal and federal government, built infrastructure and made public investments available that benefited the private sector, as well as promoting the construction of affordable housing. The excluded social groups acted in the occupation for housing in private areas, located peripherally to the urban fabric of the city
