Abstract

The proposal for an internship linked to the master's research titled "Processes of Territorial Expansion and Urban Dispersion in Presidente Prudente/SP and Dourados/MS" aims to understand, at the city scale, the implications of socio-spatial fragmentation by analyzing the parts of the process that guide urban planning in a metropolitan area, in Santiago, Chile. The focus should be on understanding different Latin American realities, in various morphological configurations of cities, the influences, and the actions of different social actors who (re)produce - and are (re)produced - in - and by - space. It is within the context of contemporary urbanization, especially since the 1970s, driven by global trends, that new logics of urban space production are articulated and substantiated on a local scale through legal frameworks and new forms of socio-spatial differentiation, with significant impacts on the dimensions of daily life in society, which is undergoing an accelerated process of globalization. As a methodology, we adopt cartography and statistics to identify and categorize a model of land use change, in order to answer the guiding question of this internship: whether urban dispersion can be considered a vector of the socio-spatial fragmentation process in the Latin American metropolitan context.
