Do plano à produção territorial da cidade: uma análise a partir da habitação em Palmas-TO
Resumo
O presente artigo busca contribuir com o desvendamento dos
processos de produção/reprodução do espaço urbano de Palmas, capital
projetada do estado do Tocantins, sobretudo no que diz respeito à
habitação. Tais processos perpassam pelo reconhecimento das práticas
socioespaciais de um conjunto de agentes que, desde a implantação dessa
capital em 1989, atuaram no sentido de garantir os processos de
apropriação da terra, afiançando o seu papel na hegemonização do poder
político e na realização da acumulação de capital. Essas práticas
socioespaciais metamorfosearam o arranjo urbano projetado, conformando
uma cidade espraiada, descontínua e fragmentada social e espacialmente.
Abstract
FROM THE PLAN OF THE CITY TERRITORIAL PRODUCTION: AN ANALYSIS OF HOUSING IN PALMAS, TOCANTINS STATE
This article attempts to shed light on the processes of production/reproduction of urban space in Palmas, the designed capital of Tocantins state, Brazil, particularly with regards to housing. Such processes involve acknowledging social and spatial practices carried out by a group of agents who, since the city’s implementation in 1989, have acted to ensure land appropriation, hence underlining their role in hegemonizing political power and in bringing capital accumulation into effect. These social and spatial practices have transformed Palmas’ urban design, producing a city that is dispersed and discontinuous, as well as socially and spatially fragmented.
