Abstract

The project aims to identify the production of the urban poverty in small cities in the Nova Alta Paulista, western of São Paulo State. The central hypothesis is that the social-spatial segregation has been structured in the regional scale and the social exclusion in the urban scale. Bu the analyses, we are considering the quality of life, houses conditions and jobs. The perception of the agents will be very important too.
