RESUMO

This search tries to focus the causes of the peripherical process in the cities around Sao Paulo metropolis as well as try to explain how the poverty concentration is done and how it can modify not only the local development but also the whole society. In this context, the question of the social-space inequalities and urban social segregation will be widely argued, as well the effects of the social exclusion in the individual formation, inserted into the peripherical poverty reality. We believe that places socially and ambientally degraded and without any specific support from government are reproducers of these same conditions and this situation is not supported any more by the cities once it does not permit its economic and social development, worse than that, do not provide the minimum life quality for its population. Moreover, the reproduction of the poverty and social-spacial inequality affects the society as a whole, once the social problems and conflicts are growing up and mainly the urban violence. From this point of the discussion ahead, the peripherical county of Francisco Morato begins to be the main focus of this search that will show how the impoverish process affects this disordered and increasing County of 155 thousands inhabitants, located at northwest of Sao Paulo City (Grande Sao Paulo). The intention is to have Francisco Morato as an example of what happens in several others poor counties around the region of São Paulo metropolis. Francisco Morato has a lot of illegal and low income land divisions. The County is, in a general way, devoided of infrastructure, urban equipments, services and social projects. In this search, we start from the principle that the current urbanization model became unsustainable for the environmental and economic-social development once the urban impoverishment harms the city development. These problems affect society the society as a whole and must have its effects considered in long term. These is regarding to the social formation, to the individual that we are producing within a context where the social inequality, the indifference and violence are growing up. To the City Halls of the poor periphery, the social-environmental problem is a big challenging because these institutions are most of the cases, deficient in managements, financial and technical resources. This is the reality of Francisco Morato and others poor income counties. Having Francisco Morato as an example, the main objective of this work is to establish the impacts caused by the urban poverty into the environmental and social means of the cities. We try to clarify the questions about the reproduction of poverty spaces and understand if the dynamic of exclusionist capitalism, allied to inefficient public politics, are creating a society much more socially-unbalanced, more violent and more underdeveloped. Perhaps the results of this search can help the formulation of more efficient public politics to reduce poverty and social-exclusion of the County of Francisco Morato as much as others countries with the same situation.
