GATED COMMUNITIES AND THE SEA AND THE "STRENGTH" OF REAL ESTATE CAPITAL IN VERTICALIZATION IN ARACAJU-SE
Abstract
Urban expansion is the result of the realization of capital's interests in the search for greater profitability. To achieve this, the real estate market uses the multiplication of land, associated with the dissemination of new lifestyles and “housing concepts”, which combine elements such as security, isolation, social homogeneity and exclusivity. The choice of areas for consumption and appropriation by private capital for the implementation of closed vertical condominiums has been approved by the proximity to natural amenities, provision of infrastructure and collective equipment, by urban standards that allow for greater income collection and target audience. In view of this, this research seeks to analyze the characteristics of verticalization under the protagonism of real estate capital in Aracaju-SE, between the years 2000 and 2020. To this end, bibliographical surveys and information were carried out in the investors' licensing permits, which were tabulated and specialized in cartography. However, verticalization strengthened densification in valued neighborhoods and appropriated unoccupied areas, enabling urban expansion and worsening a reduced supply of infrastructure in distant neighborhoods. In this sense, the State, through legislation, plays a fundamental role in the reproduction of real estate capital, thus increasingly intensifying socio-spatial segregation.
