Abstract

This project aims at analyzing the geography of centrality and marginality in the city of São Paulo, focusing on the housing boom in the region of the Marginal Pinheiros. The wide dynamic metropolitan, expression of an exclusionary process of concentration of public investments, the concentration of wealth and power, confirms the result of the historical process of expansion of new centers of the city. In different periods and contexts, it is possible to observe the impact of the choices of the best-off population in terms of their expressions of prestige and power through explosive process of real estate valuation of new centers in São Paulo. The elites, through real estate, appropriating the urban space and stimulate business interests at the expense of other forms of life and living. The rebuilt spaces, private or "public", dictate new forms of sociality according to the discourse of security and a life supposedly community. The lifestyle and the search for security eventually become engines of volunteer ghettoisation of high standard at the same time, imposing new forms of construction of the city and expel the surrounding communities. This study aims to investigate the impact of Garden City Park and nearby communities in the city as a whole, considering the location, which is the newest economic centrality and prestigious capital.
