RESUMO

This thesis aims to present a theoretical and practical effort in seeking to connect the structural links between the condition of urban life, the ways of appropriation of space and the contradictions of inherent inequalities due to the capitalist expansion in the accelerated process of the cities urbanization, being the city of Rio Janeiro the object of analysis and empirical observation. The main motivation consists of addressing the impact of the "urbanity" in implementing the collective life, which "backgrounds" the professional experience of social work in public health and housing. In this sense, there were collected some empirical data that show changes in behavior and social practices these associated with living conditions in urban areas, such as: the housing shortage, the poor access to sanitation, the everyday violence in popular housing areas, the struggle on urban mobility and public health data with special attention to the alarming and rising rates of youth mortality from external causes (violent death). It was pursued, in this work, to give a deep look in history and get some explanations from the classics of political philosophy (Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Marx and Engels) on the achievement of collective life, the forms of social regulation, the role the State and the bourgeois conception of citizenship still present characteristics that reveal the sociality logic marked by the orbit of the capital in modern life. It was aimed, in this analysis, to check how the logic of private property still outlines the shape of social life regulation nowadays. "Urban" here means the space where the economic, social and political relations are processed, and, therefore, the area of management of financial interests that must be regulated through legal instruments. It was emphasized, in this work, that some instruments have been appropriated in the current management of the city of Rio de Janeiro in an over-managerial conception, blending the logic of urban policy which contradicts the social function of property. Speculation in the use of land, the irregularity and precariousness of housing and the difficulties in urban mobility mark the city s scenery and reproduce the social conditions and the everyday urban life.
