RESUMO

This work studies a new real estate practice that has proliferated in the last decade in Brazil: Private gated communities. Changes can be seen in the Brazilian urban space configuration, especially in the great metropolis. Emerges in our cities a new pattern of urban segregation, especially in what makes reference to the residential areas, with condos and gated community proliferation. The empirical research was carried at Campinas Metropolitan Region, a featured region by its "high dispersions index". The main objective of this work is to investigate the reasons why gated communities became the main real estate choice from the 90s, in Brazil and in different countries in the world, especially in Latin America. Therefore, the Brazilian urbanization process is rescued and the globalization impacts on the cities territories, as the territory fragmentation and the dispersed urbanization. The work also approaches the Law discussion on gated communities. Brings the discussions between the city halls, real estate agents and the Public Ministry, in the sense of understanding in which way the law has been broken. Referring to the reasons for the "within the walls" residence, the subject is discussed through studies carried by researches in different countries, seeking to locate the Brazilian reality and understand its origins, references and process consequences.
