Produção do espaço urbano no bairro Planalto - Natal (RN): atuação do capital incorporador - 2005-2017. 2018. 259f. Dissertação (Mestrado em Geografia) - Centro de Ciências Humanas, Letras e Artes, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2018.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/jspui/handle/123456789/25500This work aims to contribute to the discussion about the production of urban space based on the performance of real estate incorporation capital in the district of Planalto, Natal – RN, from 2005 to 2017, according to the forms, functions, structures and processes observed in the transformations of this district’s landscape. Real estate incorporation capital, initially connected to the reproduction of capital through the fulfillment of the desires and needs of the most affluent class of society worldwide, is considered a major agent of space production. In Natal, from 2000 onwards, the infusion of this capital in socially peripheral districts and regions of low differential income of the city and its metropolitan area caused important changes in the landscape, in the way lands are used and occupied, and in its socioeconomic and spatial dynamics. In Planalto, specifically, this is shown mainly by the rapid growth of its population, commerce and services offered in the last decade, leading us to the assumption that such transformations are intrinsically connected to the presence of real estate incorporation capital, which contributes significantly to the production of the urban space and variegated spaces in that district. Thus, we seek to investigate the profile of the real estate developers in Planalto, analyze the aspects of their real estate incorporation and interpret the performance of this space producer agent in the space-time frame of this study. This research used a bibliographic review, primary and secondary data from public and private agencies, field records, interviews with landowners and real estate developers who have worked or still work in this specific space frame and are representatives of public agencies. The performance of real estate incorporation capital in this district points to a process of space capitalization in the context of the new urban peripheries in Brazil, triggered by the creation of a fetish around housing, which surpasses use value and becomes significantly saturated with exchange value, thus supported by the symbolic field that socially “capitalizes” human experience through the place of residence, presently seen as a “club condominium” whose features “bourgeoisify” social contemporary living.Acesso AbertoProdução do espaçoBairro PlanaltoPeriferiaNatal – BrasilIncorporação imobiliáriamasterThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS HUMANAS::GEOGRAFIA
