A zona oeste da cidade do Rio de Janeiro como eixo de expansão urbana para habitação de interesse social: considerações a partir do programa minha casa minha vida em Senador Camará

Abstract

Brazil's economic development is linked to the resolution of its social issues, including the housing deficit. Since the creation of the Minha Casa Minha Vida Program (PMCMV), in 2009, by the federal government of then President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, the confrontation of the housing deficit was centralized by the federal financing actions of the referred program, which has already made available more than 10,000 housing units for users from 0 to 03 minimum wages, in the categories of resettlement and / or raffle throughout the city of Rio de Janeiro. The main objective of the research was to analyze the participation of the public housing policy of the city of Rio de Janeiro, in the West Zone, through the PMCMV in Senador Camará, to increase the historical pattern of social production of the urban space in a peripheral and rarefied way of urbanity and, consequently, for the non-strengthening of the social right to housing and the human right to decent housing. At the end of the 19th century, the city of Rio de Janeiro grew from several expansion axes with the construction of the Central Railway of Brazil, the construction of military bases and the various removals from slums. The research sought to analyze the issue of Housing Policy of Social Interest, through the PMCMV, as an important recent vector of expansion of the city to the region of the west zone. It was concluded at the end of the research that the PMCMV reiterates a series of characteristics of the urbanization process historically marked by socio-spatial segregation, reinforcing the logic that the place of the poor and the low-income population is in remote areas, with a fragmented urban fabric , with a lack of infrastructure, equipment, public services and jobs. A housing program of this dimension could be an important vector for qualifying precarious areas and promoting a more egalitarian model of land occupation with easy access to all its public policies, but on the contrary, it enhances urban problems and reaffirms socio-spatial disparities.
