| Abstract | |
Recently there has been a reorganization of the clothing production spatial circuit in planetary scale. In Brazil, the stages of production, distribution, trade and consumption have had meaningful transformations. However, the city of São Paulo, besides losing relatively part of the production, still has centrality in this branch of activity. The understanding of the redesign of the clothing production circuit demands the understanding of the territorial division of work, which is revealed by the urban economy of the city and urbanization. Thus, in this thesis we show the characterization of the clothing production spatial circuit in dialogue with the theory of the two circuits of the urban economy (upper and lower circuits) of the city of São Paulo, focusing the areas of productive specialization (Brás and Bom Retiro neighborhoods), together with the main space structuring agents in this city. The upper clothing circuit, composed of modern companies, has been appropriating the forms of organization typical of the lower circuit through subcontracting. The big retail companies of national and international performing and the wholesalers of Brás and Bom Retiro specialize themselves in the more sophisticated activities and lead the execution (stage of sewing) to the small sewing workshops that, in general, use immigrant work force, specially Bolivians. Then, we identify the connections among the activities of the upper and lower circuit related to the clothing branch (AU) | |
