Duas faces de uma mesma moeda: A segregação espacial em Uberlândia, analisando o Granja Marileusa e o Dom Almir

Abstract

The urban way of life has been expressively demarcating spatial segregation and the increase of inequalities, as shown by current urban studies. A large contingent of people living in the urban environment promotes the diffuse and disorderly growth of cities, resulting in diverse problems such as exclusion, poor distribution of spaces, poverty, among others. With greater real estate expansion in recent years, the city of Uberlândia presents important socio-spatial characteristics to evaluate the entire structure of the city, helping to understand how and for whom it was built. The theme addressed in the research concerns how the socio-territorial disposition of the city and the local conduct of Uberlândia's politics influenced access to the city in the municipality, comparing two residential neighborhoods - Granja Marileusa and Dom Almir - from different social classes in a comparative way.
