The exclusive condominius of Barra da Tijuca as examples of the process of homogenization, hierarchization and fragmentation of tha space

Abstract

In the present work, we seek to understand that the (re) production of a "new" selective and spatially fragmented centrality, Barra da Tijuca and its representations appear as products of the process of metropolization of the city space, supported by "strategic planning" To financial-real estate capital. Within this process, we emphasize the proliferation of residential projects closed by the city that use a vast security apparatus. This dynamics supports the practice of spatial self-segregation and expands within the city as spaces of control and domination, through the discourse of the wealthiest classes and the media, as an option that demonstrates quality of life, isolation of unwanted groups, security and closeness With economic activities.
