Abstract

This dissertation analyzes the rise of the vertical model of residential development with a wide range of leisure facilities in condominium - here called supercondominium - throughout the 2000s, in the São Paulo Metropolitan Area. Not restricted to sales arguments, justified by the establishment of a supposed \"new way of living,\" the work seeks, through the characterization of production, display of the financial logic and the analysis of the regulatory framework, to demonstrate how the restructuring of the production process during the real estate Boom, led to the revision of the developers\' strategies. Which, given the regulatory framework, consolidated the supercondominium as the new model to be pursued. (AU)
